LlewellynFOCUS To develop a climatically responsive architectural form for the yellowstone region. APPROACH To analyze climate, vegetation of the site, wildlife and region as a means of expression related to sensitivity. Clientele and typological studies will be used to determine the flavor of the architecture. A merging of these two characteristics will be used to define the scope of the problem while considering the function based on user needs assessment. VEHICLE To use the set goals of the Ski Yellowstone Corporation Planning Commission for the development of Ski Yellowstone and to allow my assessment of user characteristics to add definition to the design of Ski Yellowstone. Thus, regionalism plays a lesser role than that of cultural aspects.Item The role of nature as symbolic context for the built environment : a ceramics facility in a mountain context, merging two art disciplines, architecture and ceramics(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1983) Wojtylka, James FranklinItem Formulation and analysis of an environmental ranch/retreat(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1977) Shepard, James G.Item Energy conscious multiple family housing(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1977) McKeague, JamesItem Rehabilitation of pronghorn habitat on surface mines of the northern Great Plains(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1983) Zimmerman, George MichaelItem Project FRESH(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2010) Aune, Matthew David; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: John Brittingham; Ralph Johnson (co-chair)Project FRESH is about creating a sustainable food system for our future. It is the goal of this project to design a large scaled environmentally controlled farm. The vision of this farm is to relieve many of the social and environmental stress that arise out of our current food systems. Furthermore this book is a compilation of research that investigates the problems and solutions that pertain to our modern food system. The first part of the book is research that expresses the current issues that exist with our food system today. This research will state and elaborate on the problems for which Project FRESH is attempting to combat. The second part of this book is the design proposal for Project FRESH. The design goal of this project is to create a fresh perspective on agriculture and its connection to the city. Creating a symbol for our future that patches agriculture back into our cities urban fabric. This symbol is to express the importances of locally grown food and its impact not only on the environment but its overall social and health benefits as well.Item Environmental Architecture(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2009) Franklin, Charles Evan; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: John Brittingham; Mike Everts (co-chair)An unbalanced relationship currently exists between man and nature. However, humans are beginning to realize if this uneven relationship continues, it will mean the ultimate demise our world as we know it. This investigation seeks to produce architecture which is in balance with nature. To do this the architecture must act as a living system in diverse ecological environments. If architecture can organize as a living system it will no longer exist as an object on the landscape, rather the architecture will be experienced as an interrelated process essential to the functioning whole. When natural living processes and cultural and social processes combine, a truly environmental architecture may arise. To explore the idea of environmental architecture, a project is proposed as testing grounds. The Midway Thermal Laboratory and Interpretive Center is this project. The site is the Midway Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, WY. The results have produced architecture which is both interactive and responsive to its unique local environment. The architecture provides not only a functional lab space, but also allows the user to experience dynamic space in a dynamic environment.
