G.Not Available.Item A ski and summer resort lodge for Snowbird, Utah(Texas Tech University, 1981-12) Brewer, M.E.Skiing is one of the fastest growing recreational sports in the country. Many ski villages are plagued with continual overcrowding conditions. New ski lodging and service facilities are needed at most of the major ski areas. The growing ski village of Snowbird, Utah, is one of the sites in demand for more ski accommodations. With its excellent skiing conditions of more than 500 inches of powder snow and its 3,100 feet of vertical rise, Snowbird is a superb site for the expansion of new lodging facilities.Item Albuquerque racquet club(Texas Tech University, 1977-12) Bixler, MarkMy thesis project is a racquet club located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It will be on the eastern edge of the city viewing the Sandia Mountain Range to the east. The racquet club will be a private commercial venture, with year round operation.

Wives and unmarried children under the age of twentyone who form a part of the member's household are entitled to club privileges. Tennis will be the dominate activity with complementary activities consisting of racquetball, swimming and general body exercising. This is a hypothetical project, with no one acting as a client, therefore the site selection and programming requirements are developed by myself.Item Exploring the symbiotic relationship between architecture and nature: a nordic training center(Texas Tech University, 1996-12) Dieterich, Diana V.Nature has inspired the creative mind throughout history. The physical cooperation with the natural environment is necessary to humankind's survival; while the symbolic relationship represents a consciousness of our biological place in the imiverse. The purpose of this thesis is to trace the lineage of an organically based design ethic and to isolate the common principles of such an architecture in which the architect imderstands nature, not in terms of physical science alone, but in a metaphysical and poetic sense as well. A re-examination of ancient Native American myths, notions, and traditional spiritual beliefs reveal a holistic understanding toward building and nature, and the relationship between life and land, the processes of nature, and man's role in maintaining the equilibrivmi. These beliefs and attitudes reemerge in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as the underlying principles of the organic movement, an architectural approach in keeping with nature's behavior, and in alignment with a region's contextual elements, including culture, climate, and tradition. The result is an architecture that is compatible with nature. Finally, the fiiture of the organic tradition and the possible contribution made by chaos theory will be explored.Item Exploring the symbiotic relationship between architecture and nature: A Nordic training center(1996-12) Dieterich, Diana V.Item Exploring the symbiotic relationship between architecture and nature: a nordic training center(Texas Tech University, 1996-12) Dieterich, Diana V.Nature has inspired the creative mind throughout history. The physical cooperation with the natural environment is necessary to humankind's survival; while the symbolic relationship represents a consciousness of our biological place in the universe. The purpose of this thesis is to trace the lineage of an organically based design ethic and to isolate the common principles of such an architecture in which the architect understands nature, not in terms of physical science alone, but in a metaphysical and poetic sense as well. A re-examination of ancient Native American myths, notions, and traditional spiritual beliefs reveal a holistic understanding toward building and nature, and the relationship between life and land, the processes of nature, and man's role in maintaining the equilibrium. These beliefs and attitudes reemerge in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as the underlying principles of the organic movement, an architectural approach in keeping with nature's behavior, and in aligrmient wdth a region's contextual elements, including culture, climate, and tradition. The result is an architecture that is compatible wdth nature. Finally, the future of the organic tradition and the possible contribution made by chaos theory will be explored. The principles established through this thesis will be expressed through the architectural vehicle of a Nordic Training Center located in a wilderness setting northeast of Durango, Colorado. The Nordic Center will be used as a training facility for Olympic hopefiils as well as a touring center for amateurs. It is hoped that the organic approach detailed in this thesis will create a design that forms a symbiotic relationship with nature and the spiritual roots of the place and time.Item Kenny Wood Park(Texas Tech University, 1975-05) Brady, Michael GeneThe function of the resort is to meet man's needs during his interaction with the area. This interaction should be an exciting blend of man's recreational activity and nature. It should be expressed in interior and exterior spaces, within the relationships of these spaces to one another, and relationships to the area.Item River Bend: a resort in the Texas Hill Country(Texas Tech University, 1971-05) Biehler, Charles LNot availableItem River Bend: a resort in the Texas Hill Country: part II(Texas Tech University, 1971-05) Biehler, Charles LNot available
