    Adagio : étude for the practice and performance of piano
    (North Dakota State University, 2014) Lawman, Jakob
    Adagio: Étude for the Practice and Performance of Piano explores the interaction between people and music in a community, and how the production of music can be available to anyone. Interaction with music has a multitude of health benefits that can have lasting effects, especially for those who play an instrument. The outcome of the project will be a 56,000 square foot Chicago Center for Piano, to be utilized for the practice, performance, education, and enjoyment of piano through practice rooms, a recital hall, and other performance spaces. An emphasis is placed on the optimization of acoustical qualities in architecture to meet specific instrumental criteria.

    Green Building: The Integration of LEED v2009 Criteria in the BIM Environment
    (North Dakota State University, 2013) Lawman, Jakob
    Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is the best way to manage every aspect of a building project. The only aspect that is missing is sustainability. While it may be apparent, it is not easily managed my most programs under the BIM envelope. LEED is the prominent resource for managing sustainable criteria for a building project, with incentive to award a building certification for being green. There is currently no easy or well-defined way to incorporate LEED criteria with the BIM environment. This research explores the fusion of LEED and BIM using Autodesk Revit as the central management system for a building project. The core methods in this fusion include creating a LEED template for Revit to manage supplementary documentation and using Revit parameters to define critical green building criteria for a project.
