italian spatial conditions

These drawings came from researching and choosing a precedent to best demonstrate in two technical drawings of the conditions and hybridizing it to capture the qualities that stand out the most. Selecting a precedent from architect Carlo Scarpa, the Olivetti Showroom and its famous stairs withholding that aperture, material, and circulation moment and how users can understand the movement and intention with this component.

soak. steam. dream **project data professor: nate bicak location: rome, italy type: commerical/hospitality year: 2nd year

The design intent for this project is to provide a space of luxury for users to freely move around and to focus on themselves in this environment. Focusing on a place for relaxation, socialization, and to simply unwind. While this place used to be a former slaughterhouse, with the right design intentions, one could never guess. This space was designed using the design method of the rule of thirds, providing an easy and smooth pathway and circulation for users to not get an overwhelming feeling of the space being too cluttered. The entrance invites you to come explore the big space with the different elevation shift in floor plates for some volume and to fully experience the high ceilings the space offers.

the future integration in the urban interior **project data professor: emily drummy location: clinton elementary school, lincoln ne, 68503 type: educational in residential area year: 3rd year

To achieve a clearer understanding of sustainability and the future of nature integration within urban interiors, inclusivity is a major factor in all communities, specifically in lower income areas which varies with different people coming from all types of backgrounds. The design will portay the idea that giving the teachers and children an area where it gives the atmosphere of experiencing outdoors while indoors. Bringing some of those nature and sustainable elements into interiors to reflect upon while giving opportunites for awareness and growth & get more in spirit with nature with the use of organic furniture and sustainable materials.

preserve | restore | delight. **project data professor: emily drummy location: N 9th st, lincoln ne, 68508 type: commerical/hospitality year: 3rd year

Promoting well-being and access to spatial experiences and resiliency is a form of growth to preserve food production. In this biophilic focused project, its intent is to emphasize the environment from the importance of the users well-being to create experiences in the urban interior to bring awareness and opportunities of intimate connections within nature and diversity. The space is meant for users to feel inclusive and comfort from the space, not just walking into an environment and looking at the interiors, but rather “feeling” them, and to learn the purpose of the built environment and why urban agriculture and ecological systems matter. As well as how we can bring awareness into these conditions and strive with that aspect of sustainability, and the diverse community.

the zen

**project data professor: lindsey bahe location: seattle, wa type: residential year: 3rd year

The overall intention with this project is to target the demographic of single parent families with children. While it can be a struggle finding a place to call a house a home in these situations, I amplified the aestheitc of ZEN culture within these multi-family units. Zen brings that comfortability of a safe, secure, and a clean home. With children, places can intend to get messy quickly, this zen aesthetic helps counteract that and can bring more focus of the comfortability rather than the mess of toys! The builtins within these units help have that extra storage needed, but out of the way where it doesn’t interfere with play time. Units of mainly 1-3 bedroom because families come in all sizes varying from numerous children, to only one. These units can easily be accessed for the children and adults to put the toys away and come back to decompress in their zen home.

solecitos

**project data professor: lindsey bahe location: seattle, wa type: residential year: 3rd year

The desgin intention for this community portion of “the zen” is to generate a on site, 24/7 available daycare for single parent families to take their children at anytime of the day.

The space still being incorporated by the ZEN aesthetic that carries on from the residential space, to now the community space. This amenitiy space provides the convience of not leaving the area, lifting some weight off families who struggle on their own with balancing work and being a parent. The daycare provides a place to learn and play, and a place to sleep and shower for those long nights. It provides more of an organic feel with rounded walls to avoid sharp corners and injuries. The single and double built in seating for children to pair up or be on their own, a learing zone to write and do slight group work,the middle area of the space is to be shared by both ends, having access on both sides for easier accessability and movement of the space. The overall intent is to provide all with care. Even for the single parents, giving that comfort to help them move forward and not feel alone, and for them to find their ZEN.

the crossroads: a collaboration **project data professor: nate bicak & steve hardy location: innovation campus, 2021 transformation dr, lincoln ne, 68508 type: barn + hospitality year: 4th year

This collaboration project was made with the two disciplines of design, architects and interior designers. Focused on the industry of robotics & dairy farms/cows.

The requirements of this project only consisted of having a 30,000 sqft robatic dairy barn building, along with considering 60 cows within the barn. Along with having points of access to exhibition, milk/food processing, educational settings, a cafe, and surrounding public park landscapes. We were given the chance to pick a site and to consider its flood plain and surroundings. Innovation campus is the site to where this robotic dairy barn takes place. architect collaborators: eli melendez & kal-el morman interior design collaborators: alexis nguyen lovan, kaylee navarro, & payton winkler
