Item Altering a person's environmental mindset utilizing an architectural/ecological system(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2007) Hintze, Kenneth William; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Thomas R. Wood; Tom McNab (co-chair)The Camp Grayling Eco-Lodge investigates how an architectural/ecological system can be utilized to alter a person's mindset. A person's mindset towards our natural resources can be influenced if you introduce alterations to their lifestyle. As visitors observe more efficient and less costly methods, they are more likely to implement them into their own lives. The human race has taken for granted that we must pump oil and gas from the ground; that power plants pollute; that our cars pollute; and that our skied are clouded with smog. Is this simply the price we must pay for the convenience that our current technology offers? With changes in the way we design buildings, we can move towards buildings that generate more pollution-free power than they use.
