| dc.description.abstract | The North Shore of Minnesota boasts vast natural beauty, a plethora of recreational activities, and a thriving tourism industry. In order to protect the North Shore’s natural scenery and tourism industry, sustainability and ecotourism must be heavily considered when designing here. This thesis will investigate sustainable design methods and ecotourism tactics that are specifically catered towards the North Shore. Through the design of sequential cabins, this thesis will provide a view of these methods and tactics in action. Two regions in the North Shore will be the subject of investigation, the Nearshore and Highlands, as these are the most common regions of travel from visiting tourists. The designs of these cabins will reflect the unique environment present is the Nearshore and Highland regions of North Shore, as to properly represent how these sustainable strategies can be implemented when designing while keeping tourism in mind. From literature review and case study examination, this thesis is a compiled list of methods and tactics that provide design options to reduce impact on natural scenery, are environmentally conscious, and benefit tourism. | en_US |
