Item A framework for circumstance : changing perceptions in the built environment(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2010) Leppert, Jordan Lee; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Zuzanna Karczewska; Barry Newton (co-chair)In our ever-changing world, the role of architecture and designer is constantly adapting to a new criteria. The principals of design have changed in many ways throughout history, but the constant has always been that designed space is intended for the bodies that will occupy it. I believe that the understanding of how architecture can affect our state of mind through perception, social understanding and sensory awareness gives us, as designers, the ability to create spaces that surpass an architecture of the time, and create a space that people will identify with and give meaning to.Item Perceptive Connectivity(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2008) Lindgren, Amy Jo; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Thomas Wood; Chere LeClair (co-chair)This thesis will investigate how architecture can heighten the experience of obtaining information in a sensual environment. As such, I will explore the use of perception as a physical and mental tool to gather and share information of one's sensual environment. I have looked at perception into two parts, Activity and Passivity. Activity is defined as obtaining information of an environment through sensory experience focusing on sight, sound and touch. Passivity is the way in which our minds filter and render the physical environment into memorable experiences. By reestablishing a connection to the sensory environment we open ourselves to an opportunity to share our experiences with others. This project will be a unique information center that explores the concept of gathering the sensual information of a particular area and analyzing said information to formulate characteristics of place.
