I would like to thank my professors and committee members of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for their undue patience and support throughout the learning experience that they helped foster. To all my friends who shared in the immeasurable journeys and experiences. And most importantly, my family with whom their undue love is eternal.

This thesis is dedicated to the memory of Jeffrey Allen Mayfield; friend, architect, teacher, and lover of nature.
