    Creating a Decision Making Tool: How to Decide if One Will Benefit from a Green Roof
    (North Dakota State University, 2010) Kleist, Lane
    Why is it necessary to provide a decision making model? Why do we feel the need to make rational decisions? The major goal in researching this topic is to provide data which architects can use to illustrate to their clients the most logical decision for the given instance. Rather than a client making important decisions based on hear-say evidence, information can be gathered to create a decision making guide, which will point to a clearly prominent solution.

    Test of Time
    (North Dakota State University, 2011) Kleist, Lane
    This thesis is a study of how the use of recycled materials can express the passage of time within a society or culture. The building typology for the execution of this idea is a historical museum. The Theoretical Premise/Unifying Idea which influences this study is that the history of a material can be studied and interpreted and used to influence a new use. Using recycled materials decreases the use of valuable resources and provides a rich history of our ancestors which justifies this research.
