How to Submit — File Saving, Packaging and Uploading – Organize your image and text files into a single folder. – Label the folder using the following naming convention: “Degree+Year_Last Name_First Name” (Example: MArch2021_Smith_Jessica) – Compress or Zip the folder. – Upload the Zip file to Box here: https://virginia.app.box.com/f/b9856d83bcfe4fd4a8650dc601fc00d1 When to Submit — Deadline – All files must be received by Sunday, May 9 at 12noon. *FAQs — I’m a MUEP student who is also receiving a MUD certificate. Can I use the “Studio-based programs” template described above? Note: This question provides an example for students who may receiving dual degrees, certificates, etc. It also applies to planning students who would like to use work from a planning studio as their submission. The answer below should provide general guidance to students in any of these circumstances. Yes, students may opt to use either template described above, with acknowledgment that a goal of the book is to provide balance and compliment between image/text. The image I have chosen is a vector-based image that has complex, fine lightweights. What should I know about how this will print? Drawings with lineweights smaller than 0.11pt. will not print properly at the scale of the book. At 100% scale, the smallest lineweight in a drawing file should be 0.15pt. for “Studio-based programs” images (9”W x 6”H) and 0.22pt. for “Non studio-based programs” images (6”W x 4”H). Note: Images and drawing files are requested at a size larger than print at full-scale. For the final book, images that use the studio-based template are printed at approximately 6.5” W x 4.25” H; for the non studio-based template, images (optional) are printed at approximately 3”W x 2”H.
– All black lines (vectors) in an image should be 100%K, in CMYK. – Vector-based images (ie. line drawings) should be shared as a PNG file. – If you are unsure, print a test of the image at 100% scale based on the print dimensions provided. – We will reach out to you if we identify an issue with line quality. I have final reviews during the week following the deadline. I will be submitting my final research paper/project during exam week. Can I switch the image and description after reviews or final exams/ submissions are completed? The May 9 deadline is required for multiple internal and external lead times: assembly of the book, assembly of materials for the graduation ceremony, print/production of the book, etc. We do not want this to preclude the opportunity for you to submit work from this semester, but it does require the selection of materials in advance of final reviews, final exams and final submissions. We cannot switch out materials upon conclusion of reviews or exams. I’m not sure which project to include. Who should I reach out to? For consultation about project and/or image selection, please reach out to your faculty and peers for additional feedback or guidance. Will these images be used beyond Shelf Life 2021? Yes, while graduation ceremony planning is still being developed, there is a likely possibility that your Shelf Life submission will also be shared as part of the ceremony. Please participate so that you are represented in this important event and milestone! What if I submitted something incorrectly or my submission is incomplete? Sneha Patel (snehapatel@virginia.edu; Creative Director of Communications) or Cally Bryant (cally@virginia.edu; Graphic Designer) will be in touch with you directly if there are any issues with the submission. Can you provide a visual example of how my work will be presented? Please refer to Shelf Life 2020 to help you visualize this project: https://issuu.com/uvaschoolofarchitecture/docs/shelflife_full The attached instructions PDF also includes sample pages from last year to help guide your submission.
How will I receive the book after graduation? After the conclusion of graduation ceremonies in May, the book will be printed. Following production, you will receive a copy of the book in the mail based on the mailing address reflected in SIS, that is the same as your “identified diploma mailing address.” As a note, diplomas will be mailed within six weeks of degree conferral, and the mailing of Shelf Life will be scheduled based on a similar time frame. Changes to mailing addresses can be made up until May 1, in the SIS Student Center under Personal Information. Additional Questions? — Please direct questions to Sneha Patel (snehapatel@virginia.edu; Creative Director of Communications). We are here to help!

of the aspects of video games that critically link the
concerns of video game space and the physical space
of buildings and landscapes. It disrupts the notion
that there is a singular experience of either world, and
that by engaging with this medium, the very nature
of space itself, how we define it, understand it, and
live within it, is radically shifting from a set of lived,
singular experiences, to a multitude of possibilities that
constitute a form of architecture.

of disciplines that shape the constructed environment,
and yet they remain largely unstudied as architectural
spaces. Like architecture, video games speak to
ontological questions of how the player or observer
conceives of themselves as being in a space. At the
same time, they are a unique medium that presents
the user with their own attributes of space. The video
game is suggesting new ways of approaching the
study of space and our way of being in two places at
once: when engaged with the game space, the player
or observer is neither fully within the digital world
of the video game, nor fully present in the physical
world of their living rooms. Space in video games is
configured such that the player or observer occupies
an in between ontological state when they play or
observe. This study uses video games with immersive
ecologies, or those in which the world constructed
that the player or observer sees and interacts with, is a
critical part of the experience of the game, to explore
the way the experience of video games is reconfiguring
the playing or observing subject. Each chapter of the

to have a more authentic account of the past.
This thesis also argues that we need to change the
way that we interpret history and that the historical
marker and plaque at landmark sites are simply not
enough. It argues that historians, public officials, and
preservationists must collaborate with the creative
minds of writers, artists, musicians, and activists to
come up with new ways to interpret and reinterpret
past, present, and future historical sites in order to
engage wider demographics. This thesis suggests
ways in which we can improve the current practice of
historic preservation in order to make the collective
memory in this country more inclusive.

This thesis examines safe spaces for African
Americans during slavery and segregation under the

cultural landscapes associated with the Underground
Railroad and The Negro Motorist Green Book.
Through case study based research of the David
Ruggles House and the Harlem Y.M.C.A. in New
York City, this thesis argues that the history of this
country has been preserved and told through the lens
of a white spatial imaginary and because of this, black
history and the buildings associated with it have not
been thoroughly researched and preserved. There is
a disproportionate number of preserved buildings
associated with black history. There is also a dispro-
portionate number of black people in the professional
fields of architectural history and historic preservation.
