Introduction

My name is Dylan Lambe. I am a 5th year Master of Architecture student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In this portfolio I want to show the knowledge and skills I have obtained since starting my undergraduate program. I have had the opportunity to work on innovative projects in school and my summer internship. I am eager to continue my growth and learning in an internship this summer. This portfolio highlights some of the models, design, and different drawing styles I have produced thus far in school and private work experience.

Personal

In both studies and professional work I have found different aspects of architecture that I am passionate about. Having the chance to work on housing projects in school has opened my eyes to how intimate the design process can be. A professor taught me when designing living spaces or any space for that matter, one must visualize themselves in the space to fully grasp how the user will interact with the design. I throughly enjoy taking time to design projects down to the smallest details.

Internship Experience

2023 | Summer

Firm:

PEN Architect

Principal Architect:

Paul Nelson

Paul Nelson is a solo practicing architect from Omaha, Nebraska. Over the summer I assisting with 4 unique projects in Nebraska. This being my first internship, he helped guide me from the initial design stage all the way to the completion of projects. We worked together with diverse clients on multiple projects of differing scales. I had the front line experience of working with customers and managed relationships/conflicts between local contractors and design professionals. This internship was a rewarding experience that helped expose me to a professional career in architecture.

Global Studies and Travel

Year:

2022 | Summer

Location:

Barcelona, Spain | Santander, Spain

I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to study abroad in Spain for a summer through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Architecture program. As a class we were tasked with studying and sketching the beautiful and breathtaking architecture of Antoni Gaudi. Using different representation styles to highlight moments in the architecture we found meaningful. Along with capturing moments through sketches we attended an immersive model making workshop.

Diagrams and Representation

I’ve learned that when developing different drawing skills throughout professional and educational practice a constant theme has been to create clean, clear, and informative diagrams. This allows the viewer to understand a project with a greater depth and a new lens. Architecture is meant to entice the viewer/user, and drawings, plan sets, and renders do that well. Diagrams are dynamic visual way to inspire the viewer to understand what project is really about. The main goal of these diagrams is to show off specific details such as, construction type, site organization, building circulation, or all of those put together in an organized way that is easy to read and pleasing to the eye.

Being able to deliver on the technical side of the design process, while not flashy, is an essential part of architecture. Creating wall assemblies, material lists, or egress plans, may not sexy to some, but I have found this part of the project compelling. I enjoy taking the time to be a perfectionist when creating these types of drawings. I also look forward to growing these skills in a professional setting.

Duplex Housing

Year:

2022 | 3rd Year

Site:

3000 Jefferson Ave.

Class:

ARCH 311 Design and Situate

Professor:

Keith Dubas

Lincoln, NE

This was the first chance in my undergraduate program to create a housing project. The challenge I was faced with in this studio was inventing a well balanced, thoughtful design while dealing with a complicated topography on the site. I was able to accommodate the topography by incorporating the slope into the positioning of both garages. Another design choice I made highlighted the vertical circulation of both units through a gabled roof and on open floor plan.

Site: Class:

In this project, I had the opportunity to work in a group setting (five people) to design a robotic dairy farm. The team included three architecture majors, and two interior design majors. Through collaboration our main design motive was to create a 360 circulation path wrapping around the main barn structure. This allowed for the users to view the innovative dairy production in real time, while also getting a chance to learn about the history of dairy farming, modern dairy production processes, and taste the product being made in front of them.

Low-Rise Infill Housing

Year:

2023 | 4th Year

Site:

27th and Highway 2

Class Name:

ARCH 411 Integrate

Professor:

Michael Harpster

Lincoln, NE

This multifamily housing project was a great opportunity in the last semester of my undergraduate program to dive in depth into every aspect of the design process. The goal of this project was to create housing that is sustainable and fits into the surrounding neighborhood context.

CLT framing was chosen to support the sustainable design. This led my partner and I to come up with two different building forms. The first being micro units for a transitional housing format. The second consisted of multiple two bedroom unit designs. The final deliverables for this project were a booklet containing technical construction drawings, and building efficiency pages which made our argument stronger for the CLT design.

Hobbyist Housing

Year:

2023 | Masters | 5th Year

Site:

27th and Nebraska Parkway Lincoln, NE

Class:

ARCH 510 Design Research

Professors:

Emily Anderson, Geoff DeOld

The mission set out by our professors this semester was to create a new type of housing that is uncommon within the US. With the help of two other group mates we created a low rise high density multi-family housing project. The three inhabitants that we designed for were hobbyists, remote workers, and young adults phasing out of foster care. In developing this project we were each were tasked with creating a community center for each user group. For my inhabitant (hobbyists) this entailed a maker space directly adjacent to the micro living units provided. This project was a great opportunity to research other housing projects around the world that are changing the way we look at modern ways of living.

Conclusion

As shown in this portfolio I have had many different experiences in the form of school work, professional work, and travel. My goal is to expand upon my professional experience this summer with a possible internship. I am searching for a collaborative environment that is focused on innovative design as well as designing for a positive human experience.
