  1. The Bakken Exploring the nature of oil drilling in Western North Dakota

  2. Excessiveness: • Many of the processes that are used to extract oil create a lot of waste.

  3. Raw natural gas is also found where oil is drilled, but with the lack of a pipeline or other means of transporting it somewhere it can be used, it is flared as waste or burnt off.

  4. Smaller cars and older vehicles have become a rarity in this part of the state. • Nearly everyone who works in the oil rig owns a large truck that has been bought in the past 5 years.

  5. Economical Buildings • Despite the excessive nature of the oil drilling, much of the built environment is done cheaply, efficiently, and is made to be disassembled or moved.

  6. No effort is made to enhance aesthetics or the human experience.

  7. Scale • Many of the structures relating to the oil drilling in the basin are at a larger scale than what we are accustomed to on the Eastern side of ND.

  8. Equipment and buildings are built at a scale relating to oil drilling as a first priority while the human scale comes second

  9. Case Study Pusan, South Korea: Pusan Speed Rail Station

  10. Expression With Steel Structure

  11. The flowing roof forms evoke the idea of movement and speed – well suited for a speed rail station • It is constructed of standardized components so that much of it can be assembled off-site in prefabricated sections
