zoning restrictions Since the site’s primary zone is a Public zone this project will use the zoning requirements from a chosen adjacent zone. The three primary zones being analyzed are zoned R-3, R-4, and AG. All three include different setback requirements but only R-3 and R-4 have a front corner setback. Our site is required to have a front corner setback since two of its sides are on a street front. AG was then eliminated because it does not account for front corner setbacks and R-3 was chosen because it has the fewest restrictions. original analysis

corner front yard requirements 01 Detached accessory buildings may not use the Corner Front Yard setback.

02 The predominant platting orientation shall be determined by the street adjacent to the corner lot with the greatest number of lots with front yards on that street. For example, if a corner lot is adjacent to Street A and Street B, the total number of lots with a front yard on Street A and Street B are determined and the street with the greatest number of lots determines the predominate platting orientation.

Where the number is equal for the two streets involved, either street on a corner lot may be used for the corner front yard.

03 Facades facing the corner front yard must have a minimum of two openings, each measuring at least six square feet. The openings may be either a nonvehicular door and a window or two windows.

04 Garage doors facing a corner front yard must meet the setback of the front yard.

05 If the front yard setback, rather than the corner front yard setback is applied, the provisions of 27.72.070 (c) above do not apply.

zoning narrative R-3 was the final choice for the site’s zoning restrictions because it accounts for the front corner setback and has the fewest restrictions. The front has a setback of 10’ and the rear has a setback of 30’, both from the lot perimeter. The allowable building area is determined by these setbacks since there is no maximum building area restriction. The maximum height of the building must not exceed 35’. These restrictions led us to place the building in the upper right corner of the site, while still leaving room for the corner set back near the road. The height restriction led us to keep the building at one story, with a max height of 28’. Allowable building area was also used to size the diameter of the proposal. original drawings

8700 Yankee Hill Drive is encompassed on three sides by dispersed areas of residential and big box store retail, as well as the middle school right next door. The fourth side to the South consists of agricultural fields, true to the area’s origins. Considering the clash of these various programs, there is little uniting South Lincoln. The often young families in these growing neighborhoods have no truthfully public space to meet other families and make the connections that make a community and it’s next generation strong. Sure, outdoor parks fulfill some of these needs but nowhere near the extent that a versitile indoor (and outdoor) space could. There lies great hope in the installation and development of quality public spaces here. In respect to the larger Lincoln area, a public bus stop and vehicular traffic can be capitalized on to connect those from downtown, and other areas, to the new hub. There are biking and walking trails near the site but they may take some years to appear.

ARCH 411 DAVID NEWTON

The proposal for a new public library branch is sited in South Lincoln, a relatively new and rapidly developing area lacking unification.

The history of the social condenser is extensive, energetic, and often times contradictory. Within this context, our proposal seeks to realize a contemporary social condenser through the enmeshing of educational, civil, recreational, and social programs.

This conjunction aims to reunite a highly individualistic community through the architectural experience of the building in its exhibition of diverse activities and interactions to the user. Within this proposal, we find it extremely important to give the social condenser its political roots (its very cornerstone) back in a nonpartisan and productive way.

This idea will be supported through the addition of collaborative tech workspaces, event space for both formal and informal occasions, dividers dedicated to free speech and other exhibitions, an auditorium, and spaces able to support voter registration and education. Many of these spaces are quickly reorganized to accommodate the wide variety of library needs (such as movable bookcases, seating, and dividers). We paid close attention to how these programs will interact with each other and how their permanent and adjustable configurations can promote collaboration. These additions will be dispersed throughout the main programing. The programs melt into a wide circulation core meant to promote encounters and lingering, otherwise known as the intersection The intersection utilizes reconfigurable furniture in the form of curved spatial dividers, able to support various exercises and display physical or projected media throughout. The administrative areas are clustered towards the periphery because it demands private spatial configurations. The children’s, and adult + teen areas are across from one another as to encourage interesting dynamics between them. It is also important to note that anything required to be open after hours is in a condensed area off the main entrance / lobby. The buildings main program types are extended into the landscape and seek to further promote interaction between programs; the children’s sector hosts an educational area and the event + auditorium host a gathering platform, both with varying grouping spaces dictated by the topography.

contemporary social condenser catalog configuration + circulation Within the larger program divisions are smaller spatial and furniture configurations. Circulation is often organized into a variation of a loop, with the main program or spatial focal point in the center. The furniture configurations are then dispersed around this loop. The quality that stands out the most within these furniture configurations, and contemporary condensers as a whole, is the immense range of configurations. Organizations are rarely repeated in order to foster the most extensive range of uses possible.

SOUTH COMMONS DESIGN STRATEGY

Genuine space that has no other ambitions than to benefit the community has been lost in recent decades with the onset of consumer culture - we believe the library should reinvigorate this. To create this commons, as we call it, it is beneficial to look to the theory of a social condenser. A social condenser is a mixing of programs and people aimed to strengthen connections, knowledge, and democratic processes within the community. A developing and increasingly diverse community needs a common space working to combat highly individualistic trends of today and to function in an ever changing society. The collaboration of physical space and active public spheres (both social and political) to foster collective activity is the basis of the commons.

The definition of public space requires civic activities take place. The commons is a stage for debate and change, and should allow it to take place without the restrictions typical (and often disguised) of ‘public space’. These regulations determine who and what can reside in public space, deteriorating the very nature of its existence. The space must allow itself to be changed by public debate, not remain afraid of it. The commons will celebrate and uplift democratic processes in order to further the community in its identity and aspirations.

1. Formulate a design that will not only accommodate, but encourage the constantly changing intersections of public space.

4. Exhibition space to share, educate on, and celebrate local identity

2. Prioritize collaboration over isolation

1. Voting registration and voting rights education 2. Dedicate space to collaborative configurations + free speech exhibition space to spark dialogue

.02 COMMONS AS CIVIC AGENCY

SOUTH COMMONS DESIGN STRATEGY

Distorting the circle to create the commons.

The commons provides spaces for encounters that strengthen and further the best interest of the community - without a consumer agenda. This is a place where both formal and informal events and progress take place, notably civic engagement. South Lincoln has no platform where community members can exercise democratic processes without hidden regulations or a destructive culture. This proposal will be a space promoting debate and conversation in a healthy and productive way. The space will work to unify and stimulate a rather dull and disconnected area.

The circular form is utilized because it most effectively emphasizes the intersections of public space through a circulation ring in the center of that bleeds into the various programs. This wide intersection allows for various configurations hosting conversation and debate unseen in previous condensers, specifically promoting democratic processes. Within the intersection, a central depression in the floor functions as a versatile seating and gathering area. Reconfigurable dividers provide surfaces to project media upon and new divisions of space to aid in these processes. The asymmetrical sectored circle also lends itself to non-hierarchical organizations and intriguing push and pull distortions complimenting of environmental and view framing concerns. Undulating floors work to further interactions between the program sectors. This strategy is continued into the landscape, extending main formal lines to create gathering spaces varying in size and program.

ARCH 411 DAVID NEWTON

In order to see these goals to fruition, we are striving to make the commons a central hub for the community, free of intimidation and polarization. This process will function best in an environment that finds an appropriate balance between energetic and grounded. Users will be immersed in the clashing of a multitude of programs in the center commons with the intentional lack of seclusion, physically and visually. Reconfigurable dividers provide surfaces to project media upon and new divisions of space to aid in these processes.

TYMAREE KRUSEMARK MEGAN KORTENHOF

The idea of a social condenser to fulfill these goals has been explored time and time again but has yet to realize a form that’s successes lasts longer than just a brief moment in time. The works of infamous social condenser proponents such as Moisei Ginzburg and Rem Koolhaas can point us closer to achieving this form by studying their downfalls and improving upon them.

2. The building program is orientated around the center of the circle to create the commons space, and radiated into the surrounding programs, allowing the entire building to function as a commons. This program organization allows the center to facilitate gathering and creates panoramic views into all of the primary areas and of the site.

3. Parts of the circle recede at various distances from the encompassing walkway to create opportunities for exterior gathering, to aid in accessibility + wayfinding, and to provide self-shading. These lengths are based on whether the programs are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary spaces.

4. The building height is lower on the Southside of the building and higher on the Northside to manage solar heat gain whilst allowing in natural light. The center is kept separate from the main roof to allow light into the center of the building. These varying heights keep the human scale in mind and correlate with the program and user types.

5. A roof is added to provide shading for outdoor spaces. A colonnade is added around the perimeter of the building and skylight to provide structure, shade, and privacy. The column spacing opens up at access points and major views points. The colonnade not only unifies the partitioned circle, but allows the commons to extend to the exterior.

6. The exterior site is seen as an extension of the building. This is done by using the primary design moves and program types within the site. The exterior program is created to provide a range of programs with a variety of scales and spatial types.

There is access to the site and building from all sides.

This leaves room for parking spaces, gathering recreation areas, and the service entry which their locations are based on similar typologies that are adjacent to the site.

SOUTH COMMONS MATERIAL NARRATIVE Materials that aid in the creation of a library as a commons.

ARCH 411 DAVID NEWTON

Concrete is a historic building material that has a long and rich past of being used within civic buildings.

The use of concrete for the proposed library, and its monolithic qualities, creates an innate sense for users to make conclusions that this is a civic building.

Concrete is a strong material and has a long lifespan which is valuable when being used within a civic center that must stand the test of time. There will be a mix of smooth and rough forms and finishes of concrete that will be used both on the interior and exterior of the building. Joints in the concrete are hidden to give the feeling of a carved out structure.

G.122

Copper-colored aluminum metal is a tertiary material and was chosen to bridge a connection between the concrete and wood materials since this metal has atmospheric qualities of both materials.

This material will be used for accents such as possible dividing structures, window/door mullions, and signage on the interior and exterior of the building.

TYMAREE KRUSEMARK MEGAN KORTENHOF

While the building form is contemporary and of its time, the materials chosen would be reflective of vernacular traditions for both civic buildings and local use of materials. The primary material that will be used within the building is concrete,, and the secondary material is metal. This project will use these materials along with a variety of textures and arrangements to call out sectors, spaces, and atmospheres within the building. The majority of the materials will be orientated horizontally to give a low profile quality to the building and for it to match the human scale. The mixing and intersections of the materials provide a connection to the mixing and intersections of the commons with other programs. The chosen materials will also have a hand in building sustainability and energy savings.

SOUTH COMMONS DETAIL NARRATIVE

Creating an innate feeling through the unification of jagged and smooth concrete.

Moments of significant expression lie in the exterior columns and both floor to wall and ceiling to wall connections.

This is an important detail to resolve in line with the proposal’s main goals, especially to expose the structure and celebrate the strong and solid qualities of civic architecture. The columns will be entirely cast in place concrete that give the appearance of a structural mullion when interfaced with the curtain walls. In reference to the wall connections to the floor and ceiling, there will be a divot in the vertical direction to give the appearance that the floor and ceiling are separate parts. This furthers our goals of creating a commons and utilizing the commons as a civic agent in that the floor appears as a durable platform for the community.

ARCH 411 DAVID NEWTON

Concrete is the only material that will be altered based on interior vs. exterior placement. The exterior and interior sides of the sandwich wall construction will be a combination of tilt-slab concrete and cast-in-place concrete.

Many of the walls will be load-bearing shear walls, providing strength and insulation. In the curtain wall, unitized glazing was chosen to diminish joints in windows in order to emphasize the concrete masses; in other words, create a natural feeling of open-air solids and voids.

TYMAREE KRUSEMARK MEGAN KORTENHOF

The main elements of the exterior and interior building envelope are a monotone pallatte of taupe expressive sand cast concrete, jagged at an oversized scale on the exterior, and contrasting smooth concrete on the interior, with a radiant velvet finish. Within the use of different textures, the color serves as a unifier, something we hope to see occur among the users of the library. The interior is further divided among finish; the ceiling is a trowel finish, the walls are a sand blasted finish, and the floor is a polished finish. The rest of the envelope consists of glass, joined in a seamless manner to give the appearance of a void among the heavy concrete masses. Small accents of copper-colored aluminum are also used in instances of mullions and signage. These materials were chosen to curate feelings of innateness, stability, and civic importance, intended to promote gathering and activity.

SUPPLY + FRESH AIR RETURN + STALE AIR

Our proposal for the new Library branch will include both passive and active strategies that will aid in human comfort while lowering energy consumption.

The primary active strategy used is the VAV central HVAC system, supplied through the floor. A VAV System was chosen for its energy efficiency, low noise disturbance, and more precise temperature control.

This overall strategy was chosen for its benefits such as improved thermal comfort, increased ventilation efficiency / indoor air quality, reduced life cycle building costs, reduced energy use, and improved productivity.

Passive strategies employed far out number the active, working to achieve an energy-efficient building without sacrificing human comfort. The first strategy includes utilizing the building’s form and its orientation to avoid over-exposure from the sun, while still allowing ample amounts of daylight to seep in and without sacrificing views outward. The use of insulation and insulating materials is another strategy used to increase energy efficiency. This includes capitalizing on the natural properties of concrete, adding continuous insulation, reducing the thermal bridges, and adding insulation to windows. Furthermore, the roof will be finished with a light reflective coating that reflects solar radiation, reducing unwanted solar heat gain. During shoulder seasons, natural ventilation will come from the lower exterior openings and exit through the high center of the building.

9. LANDSCAPING CHOICES CAN MAKE A BIG IMPACT IN CIVIC BUILDING WATER CONSUMPTION.

BY USING TREES, PLANTS, AND GRASSES THAT ARE NATIVE TO THE AREA, ARCHITECTS CAN GREATLY REDUCE IRRIGATION NEEDS. LANDSCAPING CAN ALSO BE USED AS PART OF A PASSIVE ENERGY STRATEGY. BY PLANTING TREES THAT SHADE THE ROOF AND WINDOWS IN THE SOUTH SIDE, DURING THE HOTTEST TIME OF THE DAY, SOLAR HEAT GAIN INSIDE THE BUILDING CAN BE REDUCED.

2. STRATEGIC PLACEMENT OF WINDOWS MAKES DAY-LIGHTING AVAILABLE, THEREBY MINIMIZING THE NEED FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTING DURING THE DAY.

The climate studio analysis measures the colonnade design that wraps the outside of the circular form. This element was measured because it had the opportunity to provide the best impact on daylighting throughout the building. To fulfill this, the density and depth of the shading luevers were adjusted based on the amount of exposure the sector receives. We also analyzed different strategies for the large central sunlight and found that the strategy that allowed diffused light in from the sides worked the best.

IMPERVIOUS ROOFTOP AREA: FACTOR FOR CLAY SOILS: BIO RETENTION AREA:

The average annual rainfall in Lincoln, NE, is 40 inches, with a monthly high of 4 inches occuring in late May. With a starting condition of no systems in place to accomodate this, we aimed to make use of the building’s overall form to reckon with these statistics through the heavily tilted roof plane. Gravity directs precipitation from the north end of the building towards the south end where the slope axis occurs.

Directly underneath the south end of the roof are two bio retention areas sized to accomodate rainfall needs. This was done using the following formula: for a 3-inch ponding depth, the rain garden size equals the impervious area to be treated divided by 10.

Furthermore, clay soils found on sites like ours drain slower, so a 3” deep bed is preferred over the typical 6”. This size bed accomodates a drainage rate of less than 1” per hour, plenty for Lincoln averages. We also opted for pourus paving in several areas of the site to further combat instances of excessive rain.

ARCH 411 DAVID NEWTON

TYMAREE KRUSEMARK MEGAN KORTENHOF

The main material, and the material used for the primary structure of the proposal is reinforced concrete. The concrete for the columns/colonnade, shear walls, and waffle slab ceiling will be exposed to give certain experiential and aesthetic qualities, as well as performative qualities. This choice was made with concrete’s historical significance in mind, specifically its use within civic architecture and historic classical buildings. The primary goal for the structure is to apply this combination to give the building a monolithic quality and a sense of importance and prominence within the community.
