Item CRAFTING CONVERSATIONS: ARCHITECTURE AS A MEANS AND A VENUE FOR EXPLORING CONTEMPORARY,POSTCOLONIAL, JAMAICAN IDENTITIES(2017) McKenley, Joseph Stephen; Lamprakos, Michele; Architecture; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)This thesis will explore the relationships between postcolonialism, the formulation of identities, architecture, fine art and folk art, making and craft-making. It will delve into postcolonial discourse to understand what postcolonialism is, how it is defined, and what it means in the Jamaican context. It will explore how identities are defined and what factors are considered in the creation or unearthing of identities. It will explore what role making and craft-making have in creating and/or expositing identities as well as the relation between making and craft-making with architecture. Ultimately, the research will lead to the question, in what ways can architecture manifest cultural identity and how can architecture illustrate a Jamaican, contemporary, postcolonial identity.Item Owen Brown Village Center(Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability (PALS), 2016) Cunningham, Peter; Kilian, Joshua K.; Knudsen, Aren Kurt; Machado, Christiane Jones; McKenley, Joseph Stephen; Moore, Anil; Boun, Sandra Oh; Southard, Renata; Vogtman, John Calvin; Winter, Abby Joy; Thornton, Arica L.; VanderGoot, JanaStudents in the Master of Architecture program worked with representatives from the Howard County Department of Planning, the Columbia Association, and the Owen Brown Village board to come up with redevelopment schemes for Owen Brown Village Center.

Students also researched a series of built case study projects from around the world that provided inspiration and metrics for their design proposals at Owen Brown. Finally, each design team worked closely with a student from the Real Estate Development Capstone course to come up with program, square footages, and adjacencies for their design schemes.
