DISSOLVING THE MONOLITH When imagining a post-pandemic workplace, breaking down the traditional monolith of hermetically sealed space is of utmost importance.

While there are many concerns to consider for returning to work inperson, there is also a need to create enriching environments that invite nuanced and varied opportunities for interaction. This project creates a workplace where teams work in pods - smaller workplaces within the whole - to allow a sense of community to return, while public openair circulation creates an active environment that contributes to a lively neighborhood. The exterior shell disguises this rich interior environment among its boxy neighbors, and creates a sense of discovery for passersby and inhabitants alike.

A GALLERY FOR ONE ARTWORK A thorough study of Robert Irwin’s work lead to an understanding of his interest in the subtleties of perception. His installations bring out the interplay of color, light, and consciousness with scrims and other architectural materials precisely configured within space. This project creates a permanent home for Excursus: Homage to the Square3. The square(ish) labyrinth of rooms finds its home underground in a connection to UNL’s Love Library. Situating Excursus here allows it to take on a unique identity, as it did in each of its previous homes. By submerging the artwork underground, viewers experience a unique relationship to its surroundings and lighting conditions.

PEDESTRIAN APPROACH

DAYLIGHT ACCESS Excursus changes drastically under differing daylight conditions. Access to natural light throughout multiple times of day was prioritized.

PEDESTRIAN APPROACH Irwin describes this work as having no beginning middle or end. For this reason, the site should have multiple approaches and entrances.

A HOUSE FOR HUMAN CONNECTION Mass urbanization and the increasing effects of loneliness among city dwellers will greatly impact the future of housing. The design addresses urban loneliness in young professionals by focusing on the relationships of public and private space - challenging normal housing situations to create a meaningful living experience. The first floor combines retail bays with residential lobbies and an event space that opens to the residential atrium above. The upper floors contain private units which open onto the central atrium containing a variety of shared spaces. These shared spaces act as the main focus of the community, providing opportunities for residents to become involved in their neighborhood.

This project studies how integrated health care in a community setting might benefit from curated transitions and sound infiltration. The design posits that focusing on transitions between outdoor and indoor, and between interior spaces, could create a more welcoming and cohesive environment for all types of people who occupy this space. One central courtyard focuses calming sounds in a curated outdoor environment, buffering industrial sounds from nearby busy streets, and promoting natural sounds such as birdsong or wind in the trees. Sounds from this courtyard then filter into the building at various concentrations - shown with concentration of color. A cafe space that is positioned at the entry to draw community members inside and gently introducing them to the mental and physical health care environment. The sounds from the cafe and the adjacent stairway are allowed to reverberate through the more active areas of the building, while transition spaces allow this sound to morph into the more calming sounds of nature as the use of space transitions to health care.

Within the changing global climate, Omaha, Nebraska will experience growing extremes including higher temperatures and increased rainfall. Hypertecture addresses these extremes and provides solutions for them within a mixeduse community center and apartment building.

This building is sited in Spencer Homes, an affordable housing community owned by the Omaha Housing Authority. Spencer homes houses a diverse range of families that have different spatial needs. Hypertecture addresses them by providing an adaptable housing system that can change over time without demolition.

This collaborative project included members Shayla Dick, Zhengyuan Zhang, and Caitlin Senne.

neutral

Carbon Neutrality was reached by using more efficient lighting, using SIPS panels with higher quality insulation, and more efficient windows while using less curtain wall.

These strategies were combined with passive cooling and heating to provide areas which can support tolerable comfort for extreme climate conditions when power might have gone out.

The idea of the rain chain façade was tested by experimenting with the maximum angles that the chains could be pulled without breaking the surface tension of the water on the chain. This also helped to determine how to create openings in the façade without dripping water on those underneath. It was determined that curved lines with lower tension allowed the chains to be pulled the furthest. The façade openings were then implemented throughout the building to allow interaction between users and the functional façade of the building.
