Item Study of M.C. Escher(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 1985) Axford, Robert; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Clark LlewellynThis thesis has been set up according to the following premises. The project has been initiated by a wealthy benefactor through the M.C. Escher Foundation, Haags Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, Netherlands. In recognition of his appreciation for the delight and inspiration which Escher has given him, this benefactor has agreed to fund a project, the intent of which is to: 1. Gain insight into M.C. Escher's character and art works. 2. Using the three hundred block of the Eighth Avenue Mall in Calgary, Alberta, redesign the mall based on the analysis of M.C. Escher's character and art works. The design should be considered an opportunity to create an "architectural playground."Item A congregate housing facility for the elderly(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 1983) Architecture 354, Design Studio [class], Montana State University ; professor, Christian Bergum.The focus of this project is a housing facility design for the elderly, who, because of illness, fear of living alone, or inability to take care of themselves, seek protection, in congregate living. Congregate living for the elderly means simply that a group of unrelated elderly people come together to live in the same place considered "home". Home means many things to many people but one requirement most everyone would agree upon is as Webester says, "relaxed and comfortable", you know you belong. It is not so strange to think of such a home as an institution whose primary concern is to provide shelter and, unfortunatly, a very static way of living. Therefore, congregate living encourages an environment where the older person, IS a person, with wants and needs that deserve respect and special attention; to combine social, physical and human activities according to each person; the home should stimulate and relieve bordom through useful activity. A consideration that should be emphasised is that the home make an effort to fit its accommodations to the individual rather than having the individual make adjustments to the rules and regulations of the home.Item Urban supermarket(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 1990) Brown, Michael Charles; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Pamela Jean BancroftFor my thesis I have chosen to design a new archetype; the urban supermarket. The supermarkets we shop in today are mere variations on a theme; large warehouses with a decorated facade and superimposed graphics designating one not so clearly defined department from the other. It is my intention to restructure this theme by rearranging the format and placing it in an urban context. I have recently become aware of the need to provide food stores for the increasing number of people who are returning to the downtown areas to take up residency. The small corner grocery store is no longer adequate for the hundreds of people now living in high-rise apartment complexes. It is my hope that this thesis project will begin to show what can be done to solve this need.Item Programming in design(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1985) LeDesky, Terry J.; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Harold G.
