how can you use this info for your thesis in abstract term? You did identify interesting info in your diagrams. I'm just curious the progression from your diagrams.
Joe: We just talked, but I will summarize for others looking. I am not sure how useful these diagrams are to your thesis. What is the link to your project? What are the lessons learned that you plan to carry forward? For the record, Joe will be researching the master planning efforts in Columbus from the turn of the century on to understand more fully the context of the urban planning problem which he is setting up. Then he will reexamine this case study, writing a narrative to explain its relevance to the thesis and perhaps redoing his diagrams to show spatial conditions which are useful to his thesis.
one of the elements that developed out of the researching and diagramming was the idea of cutting cross streets and the effect on the path and circulation as well as the urban fabric - inteventions such as this might be an interesting way to add significance to certain places in c-bus.
Joe, very interesting diagrams. I know little of the overall layout of Rome. I assume these diagrams were meant as a study of what makes Rome... Rome. Is Rome a susccessful city? Which portions make it successful? What would your criteria be for "judging" a master plan?
One of the things that I think makes the layout of Rome and the Sixtus V street plan successful, is that Rome is fairly flat and surrounded by hills. It wouldn't be quite as successful standing at one of the cross streets looking down each road if you couldn't see the obelisks or portas because of the raising or lowering of the roads. Downtown Columbus is also pretty flat - so some of your ideas of 'monuments' may fit well.
We currently live in a 1927 Craftsman house. Recently completed a total kitchen remodel, a complete gut to the studs and build out with our own two hands.
Our family consists of three cats: Shrimpy, Cocktail and Diesel.
My fiancee, Missy, also graduated in architecture from Ohio State. She recently passed the LEED AP exam and has several active green building projects through her firm, WD Partners.
An interesting quote from Renzo Piano during an interview with Archinect: "I think it important to note the difference between style and coherence. If you're talking coherence, I love it. If you're talking about style, then I start to wonder."

Joe:
Strong images and anaysis. I particularly liked the pathway sketches which reveal a stong context.
