The characteristics of extreme waves in hurricane dominated regions vary systematically with a number of covariates, including location and storm direction. Reliable estimation of design criteria requires incorporation of covariate effects within extreme value models. We present a spatiodirectional model for extreme waves in the Gulf of Mexico motivated by the nonhomogeneous Poisson model for peaks over threshold. The model is applied to storm peak significant wave height HS for arbitrary geographic areas from the proprietary Gulf of Mexico Oceanographic Study (GOMOS) hindcast for the US region of the Gulf of Mexico for the period of 1900–2005. At each location, directional variability is modeled using a nonparametric directional location and scale; data are standardized (or “whitened”) with respect to local directional location and scale to remove directional effects. For a suitable choice of threshold, the rate of occurrence of threshold exceedences of whitened storm peak HS with direction per location is modeled as a Poisson process. The size of threshold exceedences is modeled using a generalized Pareto form, the parameters of which vary smoothly in space, and are estimated within a roughness-penalized likelihood framework using natural thin plate spline forms in two spatial dimensions. By reparameterizing the generalized Pareto model in terms of asymptotically independent parameters, an efficient back-fitting algorithm to estimate the natural thin plate spline model is achieved. The algorithm is motivated in an appendix. Design criteria, estimated by simulation, are illustrated for a typical neighborhood of 17×17 grid locations. Applications to large areas consisting of more than 2500 grid locations are outlined.

The challenge of transforming an empty space into a gallery setting takes on the concept of place making. A place can be seen as space that has meaning when the setting considers space, surroundings, contents, the people and its activities. This research concentrates on investigating how visitors perceive the space by gauging their sense of place (sense of belonging towards a place). Galleries are currently facing changes in this technological era whereby multiple content and context, space and form, display modes, tools and devices are introduced in one single space. An observational study was done during the Foundation Studies Annual Exhibition held at Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University. The exhibition was curated and managed by staff and students of Foundation Year showcasing an array of design works. Analogue and digital presentations of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography and video works were displayed.. The outcome of this research will contribute towards a better design criteria of place making which affects individual behaviour, social values and attitudes. Characterizing types of visitor experience will improve the understanding of a better design criteria of place making, acceptance, understanding and satisfaction.
