Item Investigating Neighborhood Character in the Northeast Neighborhood of Bozeman, MT(Montana State University School of Architecture, 2022-09) Cowan, Susanne; Church, Sarah; Radulski, Brennan; Dalvit, Ryen; Giddings, Kip; Rosenthal, Jack; Peoria, JoeThis study examines the changes occurring in the built environment and in the social character of the Northeast neighborhood of Bozeman. This project was initiated at the request of the Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA) whose members are concerned that growth is negatively impacting the unique character, affordability, and informal social interactions of their neighborhood. Working with the city of Bozeman and NENA, this project aims to document the existing character of the neighborhood and social, economic, and architectural changes as perceived by residents who participated in this research. Between Spring 2020 and Summer 2022, faculty and students from three MSU departments conducted and analyzed a physical inventory of the built environment, a survey, the PhotoVoicesNE report, and interviews of residents. The data collected here may be used by the city of Bozeman and NENA to develop neighborhood planning tools.Item Assessing Housing Retrofits in Historic Districts in Havre Montana(2019-11) Mukhopadhyay, Jaya; Ore, Janet; Amende, KevinThis paper explores the impact of retrofitting single-family residential buildings in historic districts with energy efficiency measures that are compliant with the 2012 version of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). This study focuses on Sears’s kit homes that were built in the early 1900s in the historic district of Havre, Montana. By conducting whole building energy simulations, this study assesses the impact of implementing each measure in terms of energy savings, reduction in carbon emissions and resultant paybacks. In addition the selected measures were grouped together into various groups and assessed. Combining all measures provided 81% energy savings and a simple payback period of 4–8 years and a time until Net Present Value (NPV) of 9.5 - > 30 years over the corresponding base-case. In addition to demonstrating strong economic justifications, the implementation of efficiency measures is highly recommended for the benefit of preserving historic districts and in turn contributing to the reduction in energy consumption as well as carbon emissions of historic residential building stock in the United States.Item Tipi Tectonics: An Analysis of How Culture, Beliefs, and Traditions Positively Affected Lakota Housing(Montana State Univeristy, 2017-04) Brownotter, CelinaThe Great Sioux Nation is well known for their nomadic lifestyle. This way of life would not be known for what it is today if it were not for the tipi. Originally arising from the elaborate indigenous culture, this portable dwelling was known for being extremely efficient, sustainable, and well-designed. In today’s society there are extreme issues that the aboriginal peoples face within their homes, which could be solved through understanding the beliefs and customs that the Lakota are accustomed to. By understanding the beliefs and traditions of the original habitants of the Great Plains and integrating this information with modern design methods, design strategies from the past could help alleviate housing issues faced by the Great Sioux Nation today.Item Kakuma Refugee Camp: Leveraging the Edge(Montana State Univeristy, 2017-04) Bloom, Morgan; DeJarlais, Alexis; Kervi, Brooke; St. Clair, JacksonAs Kakuma refugee camp has significantly outgrown its capacity, promoting a life beyond the camp becomes vital. The current operational strategy for refugee camps is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. Life in Kakuma is heavily characterized by unavoidable dependency on governmental aid, minimal access to water, and lack of basic means to foster an education. To alleviate these issues and promote life outside the camp, establishing a new perspective on education is the solution; redefining education as a means of gaining opportunity, dignity, and the ability to make a living, a solution focused on well-being is proposed. Malnutrition is the most influential factor in children not obtaining an education. To alleviate the impact of malnutrition on the population, a community owned-and-operated farm is proposed. By introducing a water retention and filtration system, annual flood water from the Tarach River is harvested in a cistern and released via drip irrigation. This provides acceptable water for the maintenance of a community farm in Kakuma. As a result of implementing the community farm, people are able to reclaim ownership of their lives. In the same way that the community farm fosters livelihood, it also creates opportunity for social hubs to emerge. To complement the social hubs, a hexagonal modular kit-of-parts marketplace is proposed. Plots in the community farm will be divided among refugees, and specified portions of crop produced will be dispersed to the schools, incentivizing families to take advantage of education. Ultimately, establishing this water filtration system will feed the community, provide economic opportunities, and incentivize education.Item Experiencing Italian Hill Towns(Montana State Univeristy, 2017-04) Bissen, EmilyThe nature of exploring a new place is to wander, discover, and allow curiosity to guide one’s path through the fragments composing the journey, transforming the hyper-real present into a wistful memory. One hopes to uncover an understanding of a certain place over time, beginning with the initial rush of encountering a new place and intimately being present in a foreign environment. Italian Hill towns, in their universal intrigue and ‘other worldly’ magnetism, are the subjects of this exploration, with the purpose of capturing the palpable, overwhelming sense of place composed of material, street structure/layout, community gathering spaces throughout, and overall ‘otherness.’ By focusing in on architectural properties, one can begin to understand how these tangible elements become intertwined in creating an intangible, harmonious experience.Item An alternate way(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1981) Hillman, RichardItem A traditional and contemporary arts complex for Salish and Kootenai College, Flathead Indian Reservation, Pablo, Montana : a design proposal(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1993) Juneau, Ronald D.; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Peter C.
