Hello,
 
My name is Sean O'Donnell and I'm a graduate student in architecture at
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  I am currently preparing for my
thesis project, which is heavily grounded in Environment-Behavior
Relations (EBR) theory, and involves the design of new "urban-scale
frameworks" -- essentially conceptualized as lots, blocks and buidlings.
The project involves historical and cross-cultural analyses of
existing frameworks to assess the attributes of the environment
that are supportive/inhibiting of particular activity systems
(in the public domain only, at this time.)  Aside from a
personal tendency toward, and curiosity in, interdisciplinary work,
my interest in historical archaeology grows from the apparent common
ground that it shares with EBR theory.
