| dc.description.abstract | Rural America of today is faced with major obstacles in the sense of
maintaining active urban communities. Some of the factors the feed this fire
are aging populations, and young people or moving away and not coming
back. The result of this is that many of these small communities are losing local
health care, schools and other economic institutions. With decline in active
people and economic activity, these town’s aesthetics begin to decline. The
site for this design thesis is Buffalo, South Dakota, which is and has experienced
some of these struggles. With a major highway dissecting the town,
this area will be of primary focus. This highway runs from Canada to Mexico
and is a major route for tourists on their way to the Black Hills. I focus on
enhancing the visual appearance of this corridor without losing the small town
feel. Through research and design development a graphic solution for this
problem will be the end result of this project. | en_US |
