Item Commercial Broadcasting Center : Missoula, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 1986) Means, Kent A.Can you take an art piece which is seemingly unrelated to the function of a particular building and make that building retain the inherent qualities of the original art? Can you make a piece of art into architecture? Will the art which is translated into archictecture be aribtrary and therefore invalid. These are all questions which were the basis for this thesis. These questions led me on an exploration to gain insights but not necesarily answers. I set out to create compositions which were derived from the function but did not have any of the restrictions which 'make things work.' The result of this was a singular image related to the function. This point was critical in the process. The image was what I had originally been striving for, but at this point I realized it was lacking something. What I had created was the honest, open, rational expression of the function. It seemed what I had created was a 'modern' image.Item Montana center for public broadcasting(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1975) Beaumont, CraigItem Surveying the community of Crow Agency, MT for interest in a community radio station(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2005) Doyle, Shane Michael; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Wayne Stein90% of the Crow Tribe's 10,000 members live on or near its 2.5 million acre reservation. There are currently no television or radio stations intended to serve this area and its population with the vital connections and resources available through the information highway maintained by mass media. This study explores the level of interest and support the Crow community has for a Native American radio station. It also identifies areas of need within the community that can be met by the establishment of a Crow radio station and by the implementation of Native American programming. Research found that there was a high level of support for and interest in this venture and that a radio station could met a number of community needs including economic improvement, language revitalization, facilitation of community and cultural cohesion, and disaster preparedness.
