In the accomplishment of this thesis I would like thank the School of Architecture, and extend sincere appreciation to my patient and cooperative committee members, Dr. C. Barrett Kennedy, Professor William R. Brockway, and Sadik Artunc, for their guidance through my research. I would also like to thank Mr. Farrell W. Jones for his great help during this project. In addition, I particularly want to thank the students who were especially generous with their help in this study. Whatever I asked for, they were always willing to help me get what I needed. Finally, to my wife, my parents, my sister, and my brother, I own much gratitude for their unending support. Thanks to you all
