Empirical Analysis of Behavior in Architectural Settings: Using Dartfish and JMP Software to Measure Movement
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Understanding whether the mere sight of architecture can create behavioral responses or not is critical to an architect. If an architect knows what intentional response they want from the inhabitants of their design, then ... -
ENVIRO-BRAILLE: Communicating Architecture to the Visually Impaired and Blind
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Architecture has an immense effect on our perception of reality. It has the ability to shape people's understanding of the world and impacts the way people feel, work, move, and play. The way in which one gains understanding ... -
Evaluating the Performance of Greenhouse Design through Digital Simulation: A Case Study of a USDA Research Laboratory at the North Dakota State University
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The goal of this architectural research study is to simulate the thermal performance of a multi-story greenhouse design. To do this, the study must first verify the authenticity of digital simulation, then apply the solver ... -
Examining Diverse Learning Spaces and Their Effect on Student Learning
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Education has been at the forefront of all cultures since the beginning of time. Its significance, often described and held to different standards throughout the world, has often relied on its instructors, setting, and ... -
Flexibility in Modern Office Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The way people work, the way the want to work, the environments they work in, and the people working are changing every day. Historical trends have seen preemptive assumptions about the future of workplace design, leading ... -
From Ecology to Architectural Design: A Framework for Translation of Ecological Principles
(North Dakota State University, 2017)This paper is part of an on-going research study in the field of architectural design that is attempting to bridge the gap between ecology and design of the architectural environment. The study of architecture and ecology ... -
Green Building: The Integration of LEED v2009 Criteria in the BIM Environment
(North Dakota State University, 2013)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 ... -
A Grid-based Space: Cognitive Mapping in Fargo, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2010)We all navigate the city. We give directions to strangers and friends. We sketch out maps on bar napkins and the backs of our hands. Addresses are scribbled in margins or printed distinctly at the top of letterhead. These ... -
Groat Point Residence Energy Analysis Research
