  • In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. Masters degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.Montana State University School of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program:Master of Architecture (pre-professional + 42 graduate credits)Next accreditation visit for this program will take place in 2014

    The mission of the School of Architecture is to prepare students for the lifelong critical engagement in the arts and science of architecture. We teach and practice a moral, ethical and aesthetic responsibility to society and the natural world in the design of the built environment.To that end, we empower students to assume a leadership role in the synthesis of human activity, place, materials, systems, theories and methods from a critical, responsible and mature perspective. Concurrently, we strive to support the faculty in the active engagement of creative and research activities that advance the mission of the school and the university.

  • When the School asked me to contribute to this new publication of student work I thought that this was a perfect opportunity to reflect on the current identity of the school. Having studied with Steve at MSU graduating in the early 80s our education was balanced between a strong technical underpinning while sorting out a design sensibility between the fading influences of mid-century modernism (think Eames, Saarinen, Paul Rudolph) and the rising seductions of post-modernism (Venturi and Moore Inc.) as well as what regionalism might mean. The first lectures I attended were (incredibly in hindsight) from Buckminster Fuller, Bruce Goff, and Ant Farm to give you a sense of the extremes of those fading and rising influences. A strong art department next door provided a welcome refuge for me in those years from time to time.Looking at the school now some thirty years on and having

    seen recent student work I will try to characterize what the differences strike me now as most significant. This has been to a certain degree established by a number of MSU interns who have worked in our Berlin-based practice over the years, but in this way, I hope to write this introduction in the form of a report.One can be optimistic. If artist Donald Judd said that the best visible things made in this century (20th) were more likely made by engineers than architects (think Hoover Dam or steel suspension bridges) students at MSU seem to be well equipped to react to this criticism (that architects are irrelevant) and through a discourse of material, programmatic, and structural legibility. There is a clarity and honesty in this work that is very appealing.What is clear today is a school and output that has reached a point of maturity where there

    is a design consistency that resists both a global digitalized academic sameness as well as a sentimental nostalgia for regional contextualism. The majority of work here is sober, elegantly executed, mater-of-fact (versus utopian) materially engaged, and strongly located in place recognizing both the sublime landscapes of the West as well as the dirty realism of the towns, communities, infrastructure, campuses, dwellings, and history it is located in. This is work that is resistant to trends and is concerned and sensitive to its own tectonic physicality and location in contexts, which are often beautiful but also often problematic and difficult where sprawl, land use, and fragmentation effect these places. If there is an understanding of these places as found it is also to say this is work that is interested in its own architectural vitality, that is, it

  • is directed toward buildability/ realization whether through representation or directly, as is often the case, by way of design-build, installation work, furniture, or the Community Design Center. This focus on 1:1 construction is a particularly appealing aspect of the program where the interest in architecture is physical and experiential. This also speaks of an education that is at least as interested in its effect beyond the theoretical and how it is itself effected by the realities of construction, material, sustainability, economics, and viability rather than retreating into the academy as a self-oriented and inclusive but ultimately ineffectual domain. This is a training that prepares students perhaps more convincingly for the clients and societies they ultimately serve.The tools these students use to represent their work speak of their resourcefulness and interest in making and ideation as a simultaneous activity.

    Hand and digital drawing, analogue model building, 1:1 construction, photography, and (even) painting offer a wide spectrum of choices. You use what you need to explain what you think. This supports a philosophy which is adaptive and one that can evolve rather than one fixed approach. These forms of representation and construction proliferate through this journal and establish a consistency to the school while illustrating profound differences from student to student enforcing the idea of individual thinking ultimately leading in the final year to considered and careful thesis work.The improvement and encouragement for students to venture forth into the world through travel study forges new possibilities, broader knowledge, and experience with the chance of binding local and universal sensibilities.Previously the overwhelming influence of large centers like

    New York and Los Angeles on the American architectural scene has given way to the emergence of strong critical practices and schools across the county in places previously having little impact. This certainly is a testimony to the independence, autonomy, and growing influence of schools like MSU in determining new and fresh approaches to the practice of architecture based on confidence and authority.As the school evolves into this next century it should continue to play to its strengths, that is, recognize what makes it unique and what are its potentials and cultivate this with conviction. Here is the possibility to confront relevant issues with imagination arriving at new ideas and possibilities for how we live and work and build.

    Located in the Gallatin Valley and surrounded by the Rocky Mountains in all directions, the School of Architecture at Montana State University enjoys a unique position within this landscape and within our academic community. The MSU School of Architecture is a part of the College of Arts and Architecture, which also includes the School of Art, the School of Film and Photography and the School of Music. Within this cultural and creative context, the School of Architecture seeks to prepare students for a lifelong critical engagement in the art and science of architecture. Located in the last best place of the Northern Rockies, we are in an extraordinary position to engage questions regarding the relationship between the natural and built environments. To that end, we teach and practice a moral, ethical and aesthetic responsibility to society and the natural world in the design of the built environment. We believe that architecture can and should be an essential tool for enhancing the human condition throughout our region and throughout the world. To implement the vision and mission of the School of Architecture and the University, we have adopted

    a curriculum that focuses on a balance of conceptual investigation, building tectonics, professional responsibility and the development of a critical position in regard to the environment and the profession of architecture. Throughout our eleven-semester program, students undertake a rigorous sequence of design studios and architectural graphic studios along with required courses in history/theory, building construction/systems and professional practice. Students explore these and other advanced topics through a wide-range of graduate electives and option studios.Our students engage in outreach activities not only within our own region but also throughout the worldincluding Asia, Europe, Africa and South America. Some of our outreach activities have been taking place for close to four decades while other activities have emerged only recently to address emerging needs. Similarly, our program promotes the act of building by our studentsin particular we promote the use of design-build as a valued and important educational method. Our students and faculty have undertaken design-build projects in Nepal, Kenya, Morocco, and England in the past decade as well as in our own backyard of Montana. We believe that combining opportunities for travel and community engagement with the rigor of our design studio education and a strong work ethic,

    prepares our students to address the pressing needs of our built and natural environment. The MSU School of Architecture has outstanding faculty and staff that support, challenge and engage our students in their academic and professional lives. The work on the following pages is a glimpse into the accomplishments, growth and commitment of our students, faculty and staff.

    At its core architecture is a process of exploration, and the first steps are taken by re-examining relationships in the world around us. This initial course challenges us to critically engage with our surroundings, opening the door to discovering new ways of perceiving ourselves, our environment, and in turn the vast potential to influence and mold a particular experience. We can then begin to recognize that different relationships, (spatial, psychological, emotional, etc. ) are all part of greater sets of interdependencies, and with this understanding begin to reveal pieces of the world in ways which bring depth and richness to our lives.

    First year then focuses on equipping us with tools and processes for translating these personal discoveries into visually and thoughtfully harmonious compositions. Utilizing drawing, model making, photography, painting and other mediums, we explore factors which shape experience and in turn how we can shape their translation through these mediums. These analytical and descriptive techniques become tools which enable our unique voices to emerge, but more importantly they becomes tools with which we can careful listen and record, enabling us to creatively engage with, challenge, and synthesize personal expression in careful consideration of existent circumstance.

  • Yea r Two

  • Yea r TwoLearning to clearly communicate ideas is central to architectural studies and half of second year is dedicated to graphic studies. As students gain confidence in their vision, they are also honing their ability to visually translate, transform, and enrich their growing ideas and understandings. Graphics emphasizes both hand and computer applications, and students explore the unique poetics which various drawing crafts embody, learning to find value and appreciation for both traditional and contemporary methods of illustration. After gaining exposure to a range of introductory courses in structures and building systems students are equipped to take their first stab at design studio, and the awesome and overwhelming task of design their first building. In a small to moderate-sized project students are exposed to (and often awed at) the scale and extent of building program and site analysis. Students begin to address and understand key elements such as entry, circulation, and materiality in relationship to building systems and overall building function. In addition student learn basic analysis of natural conditions, and lightly explore natural lighting and ventilation potentials along with other sustainable site responses and building systems methods. Through a series of primarily site-wwfocused explorations supplemented with research and creative explorations, students learn to take conceptual stances on design problems, opening the door to challenging, questioning, and advance our ideas beyond our preconceptions.

  • Architectural Structures ARCH 243

    Architectural structures incorporates the essence of design into structural elements such as wood, steel, masonry, and concrete. Students begin to learn about lateral considerations and calculations including environmental and seismic loads, while also building their understanding of building systems, diaphragms, connections, and structural engineer-architect communications.

  • Architectural Structures ARCH 244

  • Architectural Design I ARCH 253

  • Graphics I ARCH 261

    Arch 261 is the first in a sequence of graphics courses. The purpose of this class is two-fold; first,

    enable students to understand drawing as a tool for critical observation, analysis, communication and design... second, teach students to discuss and

    utilize drawing as a verb. The goal is to ultimately understand drawing as a dynamic and thoughtful act.

  • ARCH 261

  • Graphics II ARCH 262

    Why students of architecture should draw:The character of this course is predicated on the belief that students of architecture must experience visual language in two fundamental and related ways.Through design drawing, they encounter the problem of tangible speculation in design and the communication and generation of architectural ideas through convention and architectural graphic techniques. This integration is necessarily a shared experience with the architectural design studio.In a more visceral, internal sense, however, one must also assimilate the innate learning that enables insightful design through the uniqueness of observation drawing. Observation drawing awakens and internalizes visual reasoning, giving us a heightened and holistic sense of being in the world. We believe this ability is within the core of the creativity architects must bring to their art.

    With advanced knowledge of design students begin to apply their knowledge more comprehensively, exploring solutions which a express a deeper understanding of theoretical, technical and socio-cultural aspects of design. Further knowledge garnered in structures, history, building construction and environmental controls, while increasing both the complexity and scope of issues addressed in design, also deepen and sharpen students insights, furthering their ability to carefully and creatively approach design problems. Students begin to grasp an appreciation for the vast and vital responsibilities of architects as they explore the needs a building serves at expanded scales, and the environmental, social, and political repercussions design decisions can create both locally and abroad. Along with conceptual clarity in addressing social and environmental considerations, students begin to integrate issues such as accessibility, site conditions, structural/enclosure systems, building code compliance, and assembly technologies and methods as well.

  • Building Construction II ARCH 340

  • ARCH 340

    Beginning with a rough conceptual outline, students expand on their knowledge of building systems to systematically research and detail connections, assemblies and custom components required to make their vision a reality. Through a set of evolving construction documents, specifications, and graphic diagrams, these students designed a diner with a rotating glass shading system, constructed as an outgrowth of an existing structure on campus. Through these explorations students are encouraged to discover potentials to engage complex building issues with innovative and playful resolve.

  • Yea r Fou r

  • Yea r Fou rIn the final year, student work culminates in further advanced research and problem solving, striving to synthesize and reconcile contemporary issues facing designers while taking stances which question and address architectural advancement. Seeking to translate conceptual ideas into realistic and meaningful solutions to world problems, students are asked to tackle concerns of urbanism, population growth, sprawl and other growing issues. With increased awareness of scales of impact, social considerations, and theoretical applications, students grow in their ability to responsibly consider growing and changing issues in the way people live and how we may create a more sustainable future. More personally directed projects cultivate innovative and unique solutions while group work helps tests these ideas contribution and meaning within collaborative efforts. It is embraced that while these projects are not intended to be built, more importantly they are a manifestation of dreams, possibilities, and the means by which we may sculpt and influence the future. Through design students must show and express what they believe in, and by this are given both a choice and opportunity to envision and cultivate beliefs in a more conscious and compassionate way of living.

    Dungeness Spit Hospice_Sequim, WA Evidence of air and water had made its presence known through a series of bodily experiences. The dull roar of incoming waves, followed by their whisphering departure focused the mind on rhythms of breath, movement, and life. This project aims to simplify being and living in order to appreciate these phenomenological experiences.

    The investigation led to a series of comparisons between the vestige of waves and humans. The waves contribute energy to the spit, carrying thousands of tons of sediment annually. People contribute energy and time to the ones that surround them during a lifetime. These instances are arguably only moments, unlike the evidence which continues to perpetuate through time.

  • This graduate design studio challenges students to undertake projects that are the realization of a synthesized cultural and technological concept. Students participate in a week-long field to an urban center to explore and understand the unique culture and context of their project site. Design projects integrate site analysis, programming, building systems, and contemporary design theory. An emphasis is placed on the synthesis of conceptual processes, analysis, preliminary design investigation, and design development.

  • Too often architecture is perceived as only a building and its site. To utilize the power of architecture, one must harness and develop the true nature of place in its totality. Place must be developed into an understanding of how it came to be; what it is now and how it will be shaped and strengthened as a union with architecture.

    Development must be rooted in the human need to connect to a particular place, allowing one to fully understand their own identity. The aim is to create an Architecture that allows one to be awakened to the world around them, through a process of understanding and raising awareness to an environment and its specifics.

Art is born in the mind not in the eye and if truly created well art points to the spirit and the process. Not to render or create an artifice rather, we are exploring the nature of art and the creative process.

    The course focuses on observation and design drawing techniques designed to prepare students for drawing in the field as well as constructing design perspectives. Often, students will be instructed to consider particular course goals in composition, subject matter, and media in preparing their drawings.

The CDC mission is to develop community-university partnerships to foster an interdisciplinary experience for students while providing research, planning, and conceptual design to the citizens of the region. CDC assists community groups and non-profit organizations representing under-served areas or under-funded projects. The center works

    with state agencies, city departments, and other regional and national governmental entities. Offered as a 4th year undergraduate option studio in the School of Architecture, CDC students assist in the planning, programming, and designing of projects including facility and infrastructure assessments, schematic building design, feasibility studies, planning studies for controlled growth, community visioning documents, historic preservation reports and documentation, and exploring economic development opportunities. Students gain practical

    experience by sharing knowledge locally and regionally through community service, preparing for professional leadership and lifelong learning in architecture and related fields. Students develop knowledge for the profession through research and practice. CDC is committed to environmental stewardship and seeks opportunities to allow students a wide range of experiences to participate directly with communities on projects that are supportive of sustainable design and construction principles. Students learn about the complete

    design process first-hand and the range o fsocial, environmental, and physical issues it cuts across. Students bring fresh ideas, creativity, and enthusiasm to the process while respecting their clients insights and the unique character of the place in which they are working. This results in architectural solutions that respond to both the physical and cultural landscape through the production of in-depth research and design work that is uniquely responsive to the clients needs and aspirations.

    In 2009 the city of Choteau faced a number of challenges. The population of the community had been stagnant for a number of years and major retailers left the downtown core for larger communities miles away. Several buildings in the downtown core were demolished, leaving holes in the street front. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) was planning a major renovation of US highway 89, which was the main street of the downtown core. The city obtained a

    grant from the Sonoran Institute and asked CDC to work with them to develop a visioning document to look at planning and development in the town core. The student team researched, documented, and evaluated the town core focusing on historic character, existing planning and zoning, growth patterns, vehicle and pedestrian circulation, and town infrastructure. Strategies and proposals for infrastructure and development projects were developed based on the goals identified in the

The Visioning Document is a compilation of the

    students research and findings. It included the proposed solutions for defining the entrance gateways, speed reduction strategies, Highway 89 infrastructure design for establishing edges in the town core, pedestrian accessibility and pathways, lighting for safety, landscaping, directional signage, preservation of existing historic street frontage, and proposals for short-term and long- term infill development in the town core.

  • The Help Center is a non-profit organization that provides 24-hour crisis counseling, rape and suicide outreach, and crisis intervention services to the southern half of the state of Montana. After receiving a grant to expand their telephone counseling coverage, they realized that the small building housing their operations would be inadequate for the proposed increase in services. The Help Center approached CDC to develop a new facility to meet their needs. The existing building and site

    in Bozeman are owned by the Help Center. Their goal was to construct a new facility on the existing site alongside the present structure. Students immediately discovered that the site was constrained by the proximity of Bozeman Creek which limited the area for parking and the location of the building. After some initial design work involving four proposals that explored a variety of site strategies and building massing proposals, the students settled on a design that incorporated the existing structure while still

    satisfying the regulated number of parking spaces. The building is desig arranges program spaces in a U-shape around the existing building, using the site area available and applying sustainable practices in the reuse of the existing structure, passive day-lighting, and zoning the building for thermal isolation. Safety of counselors and clients was met by zoning the use of the building by separation of public, work, and private spaces physically and visually with controlled entry into each of the space

    uses. The intimacy of the interior spaces, through use of color and material, provide a comfortable and non-threatening environment for counseling. The call center and sleeping quarters are located on the upper floor for sound isolation and night security, but remain visually connected to the counseling area and entry points. The scale and proportion of the building relate to the residential character of the neighborhood as do the structural and finish materials of the design.

  • The Montana Legacy project is a complex and innovative initiative undertaken by the Nature Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land (TPL) in western Montana. To conserve a critical ecosystem, a contiguous land ownership was created which can be managed in a collaborative way by public and private conservation owners. A key underlying concept in the project is recognizing the lands intrinsic, natural value and its role in the economic sustenance for rural communities.

    With this concept in mind, TPL asked CDC to look at a 70 acre site near the community of Condon, Montana in the Swan Valley and to develop a master plan for the development of a sustainable community based on balancing Environmental, Equity, and Economic issues (Triple Bottom Line thinking). TPL conceived Swan Valley Innovations (SVI), a non-profit group made up of local conservation, community, and forest-based business interests to develop, implement, and perpetuate the sustainable

The first semester team developed the initial research on triple bottom line, energy, and material strategies and also developed the site master plan which established the major goals of the project. The following semesters team focused on developing deeper research on specific planning issues with the Missoula County Design Review Team, applying the

    strategies identified in the first semester, applying the new information to the campus master plan, and providing a conceptual design of the 20 plus buildings on the campus. Engineering students collaborated with the CDC students to flesh out the energy consumption profile of the buildings and to provide mechanical cost information to support the conceptual cost estimates for the buildings and site developed by CDC.

  • Bechler Soldier Station is a historic site located in a remote area in the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. In the summer, it provides access to the most popular horse packing trail heads in the park and is also the starting point for many day and overnight hikers in the park. Increasing public use of the area has created the need for more full time on-site park employees; however the existing living accommodations are inadequate. The National Park Service (NPS), through the

    Yellowstone Park Foundation, retained CDC to study this problem. The goal of the project is to design an off-grid net-zero residential structure, with separate accommodations for two park employees. The site is particularly sensitive due to the national historic district designation for the two historic structures which requires that historic views from the district are maintained and that new structures should not deviate significantly in scale, color, and material use.Since the NPS had little ground data for the site,

    CDC arranged for the City College of Billings drafting department to provide a 3D digital scan and data cloud of the area from which CDC students later developed topographic information and 3D models of the site conditions. CDC students employed an iterative approach to the work that included frequent meetings and reviews with NPS staff. Strategies for off grid design included evaluation of energy efficient building envelope configurations, passive

    solar and lighting design, biomass and alternative fuel heating systems, heat recovery, and on-site energy production. Students developed concepts for modular, panelized, and site built construction approaches. Students also provided material and heavy snow design studies.Students prepared renderings to support the NPS environmental impact study for the Historic Preservation Office review process.

  • Hyalite Pavilion Hyalite Reservoir, Montana

    From fall 2007 through spring 2009, a group of 24 architecture graduate students designed and built a public pavilion on the Hyalite Reservoir in the Gallatin National Forest. When access to the dam was reconstructed several years ago, Jane Ruchman, the Gallatin National Forest Developed Recreation Program Manager and Forest Landscape Architect, decided there was a need for a sheltered picnic area for visitors. The pavilion, 20 feet wide by

    50 feet long, was designed to accommodate 25 people. Over the course of a years work, students worked to construct the pavilion with the help of local engineers. construction firms, and contractors. The structure consisted of masonry stone walls and a fireplace, custom picnic benches and barbeque grills. Every detail, including material connections, were specifically designed for the project.

  • The fact that students live in Rome for six to seven weeks means that they transform from being tourists to residents and as such they tap into the rhythms of the city. While in Rome, they study the renaissance architects of St. Peters Basilica and their precursors as well as complete a theoretical design project of a part of the city near the Coliseum. Living in Rome expands their senses, not only the history of architecture but in the study of a place in evolution. Peter Kommers, Emeritus Professor

  • What I do find myself thinking back on was the process we used while we were participating in the Rome Studio. I think about the way we structured our group, the methods we used to study the site and share data and ideas. I reflect on our design process and our focus to work intelligently, fast, yet thoughtfully and with the goal of designing a project that was relevant and respectful to the people and the place.

    In the early 1970s, the School of Architecture developed the Internship Program which is open to qualified students during their fourth year of undergraduate studies. The intent of the Internship Program, offered to academically qualified students wanting a combination of a professional and academic experience to complement the design education they receive in the studios. The design core is strengthened by course work in architectural drawing, working drawings, environmental controls, structures, history, preservation and art. The School of Architecture is selective, choosing students on the basis of their academic achievement, interest and potential in the field of architecture. Through the program, we expect our students to be exposed to the entire spectrum of the architectural profession: observing how projects are obtained, designed, and developed; production drawings made, specifications written, and on-site inspections are carried out. We trust that the internship experience will expose our students to the firms organization, its checks and balances, operating costs, design control, production, and completion of the project. Further and when feasible, that the student-intern may be permitted to sit-in on conferences between architects and clients as well as contractors and subcontractors to gain a broader understanding of the total scope of the architectural profession. It is anticipated that the student-intern will be assigned to various projects that vary in size, type, and responsibility. Where practicable, the student-intern should be involved in programming, schematics, preliminary design, design development, and cost breakdown, the bidding procedure and construction administration. The student-intern is expected to be a productive member of the firm during the period of employment and thus benefit from the opportunity of working in an environment different from the academic experience, and gain professional experience.
