Response System Application: The Right Disaster Response System
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
What role does architecture play in post disaster response? How can architects become more involved with responding to disasters? How do we keep in mind that
"Emergency management is not just the responsibility of emergency ...
Urban Housing: Building for the Body and the Mind
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The goal of this research report is to encourage critical thought on the architecture of urban housing, and to provide alternatives to paradigm of archetypal design solutions. Research within this report explores various ...
The Limitations of Simulation Software in Architectural Design
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Pedestrian simulation software is a design tool that can be useful in helping designers make designs informed by the movement of pedestrians through a defined space. This study looked at the application of the software to ...
Architecture for the Third Place: How design Can Promote Third-Place Activities in an Indoor, Urban, Midwestern Context
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
This research began with the goal of designing an ideal indoor public space for Fargo, North Dakota's frigid winters. To understand the best design for the proposed public space, a broader question is posed: How can ...
Border Catalog: Integrated Sense of Border
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Despite the popularity of border issues in today's media, the spatial organization which borders
create remain unrecognized. This paper discusses the relationship between architecture and

Psychology & Design: The Biophysical Connection between Architectural Design and Psychological Health
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
This purpose of this thesis is to emphasize the importance of the biophysical
connection between the human psyche and the environment. In theory, these
elements can coexist to manipulate the relationship between design ...
Adaptive Architectural Value Engineering: Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
To develop an architectural design with an optimal solution, an understanding of the mechanics of design process becomes important. In 'Design by Optimization in architecture, Building, and Construction', architectural ...
Quantification of Gentrification
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This research aims to provide a concise way to quantify gentrification for the purpose of application in the design professions to help mitigate and reduce negative effects seen with gentrification. First, by researching ...
Constructs of Operable Architecture: Climate Optimization by Volumetric Adjustment
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This research focuses primarily on the functionality of software, specifically Rhinoceros (McNeel & Assoc.) and a few associated PlugIns (Grasshopper, Rhino Assembly, RhinoParametrics), to create and control a model to ...
