LINCOLN FIRE AND RESCUE PROTOTYPE Lincoln, Nebraska | Fall 2017 Professor Steve Hardy Projective ConďŹ gurations The ďŹ re station is a unique blend of utilitarianism and humanism - a physical manifestation of the phrase: living where you work. This project seeks to reconcile this juxtaposition, with programs that require proximity, but desire separation. Through careful visual and physical connection and separation, the project will celebrate this duality of spaces.


POST MODERNISM AND THE DUALITY OF WORKPLACE DOMESTICITY


Formally, the project is indicative of its programs, celebrating the signiďŹ cation of form in architecture. Taking cues from postmodernists like Robert Venturi, the project becomes an honest representaion of its use. The use of iconography is essential to the building’s users.

URBAN OMAHA AND COUNTERACTING URBAN SPRAWL Omaha, Nebraska | Spring 2016 | Professor Emily Andersen Conagra Headquarters Redevelopment


The Conagra Omaha Headquarters lies on some of the most valuable land in the state of Nebraska. It holds prime real estate in Downtown, is close to the river, and is in the center of all the activity of Omaha. When Conagra moved to Omaha and destroyed Jobber’s Canyon, a dense, urban area was lost and a “suburban” environment was implemented.

REDENSIFYING THE URBAN SPRAWL The rest of Omaha has been growing as a suburb, much like Conagra - outwards rather than upwards. Urban sprawl has become a huge issue in the city of Omaha. In the modern age, suburbia is dying, and the cities are being reinvigorated. People want to live closer to where they work, and avoid using a car if they can. By re-densifying the Conagra site, Omaha can deal with it’s urban sprawl issues, give the people a huge hub of amenities and circulation, and move the city into the urban, modern era.

URBAN MASTERPLAN The central location of Conagra gives Omaha the opportunity to continue growing the city into a new urban hub, as repopulate the density lost. Among the consequences of this, there has been a lack of connectivity around the city’s urban cores and nodes of activity. The automobile has been a need of Omaha residents, causing a vast amount of parking needed to accommodate destination parking in Downtown Omaha. Instead of infilling more of these disconnected destinations, the Omaha Conagra site can become a means to getting to a destination, as well as one. The growth of Omaha has been so sprawled, that public transit can’t and doesn’t accommodate the city’s needs. Only one percent of the city’s transportation trips are taken in public transit, showing the need for a new system. A streetcar system – using Portland, Oregon as a precedent – would connect major points of Omaha, reducing the need for a car in the city and increasing the location – based economy.


REIMAGINING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Lincoln, Nebraska | Fall 2015 | Sacred Spaces Professor Mark Bacon, Scott Kenny Through the years, the Catholic Church has raised many people and cultures, but not without isolating many. The Classic Catholic Church is not getting the following that it used to , so we plan to reinvigorate the Catholic Church. Wewill elaborate on the classic ideals held by the Catholic Church through materialty, usage of light, and space planning to create a more welcoming and Sacred Experience.

01 Improve Ecological Condition

SHIJINGPO MASTER PLAN Chongqing, Shenzen, China | Fall 2016 Sustainable Urbanism | Professor Mark Hoistad Dayna Bartels, Adam Heier, Darian Scott, Davielle Phillips

The site has a number of ecological features that we would like to preserve and improve upon. With the existence of multiple ecologies on our site, we will address each in a respectful manner while attempting to improve it and allow people experiencing our site and these ecologies.

02 Connectivity

Not only do we aim to create a sense of connectivity throughout our site, but to our site’s surrounding context as well. With the high density residential development planned to the north of the site, we have a unique opportunity to act as a filter between these residences and the historical nature of the Ciqikou District to the south.

NET ZERO WATER

Harness the water drainage onsite, treat and recirculate it

03 Blending of Scale

With the large amount of development happening around our site, we aim to be conscious of the existing scale of Ciqikou and the development to the north. This site is a transition between large scale towers and a fine grained historical district.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Harness Solar and Wind energies

04 Create a Pedestrian Presence

In a decreasing car centric world and an increasing interest in more pedestrian modes of transportation, we will create a positive experience for pedestrians while still keeping a through path for vehicles. We will encourage walking through our site and to create spaces of cohabitation.

GROW 50% OF PRODUCE ON SITE

Allow space for gardens to produce 50% of the produce for the community

SHIJINGPO SŌUJÍ COMMUNITY CENTER Chongqing, China | Fall 2016 Sustainable Urbanism | Professor Mark Hoistad Sitting atop the rolling hills of Chongqing, China, the Shijingpo Sōují community Center becomes the hub of activity in a bustling metropolis. The Shijingpo site is perched on over 30m of uphill terrain, looking down upon downtown Chongqing and the nearby Ciqikou Historical District. On the other side, lies the future mass housing projects becoming even more dominant throughout the booming growth of Chinese cities. Chongqing, known as one of the boilers of Southern China is no exception, boasting an urban sprawl of upwards of 30 million. The Shijingpo Sōují Community Center, a place for gathering - in Chinese - looks to create a welcoming, collaborative, creative environment in the vast urban sprawl. The complex is divided into three portions or main buildings. These buildings house a kindergarten, library, police station, sitting below substantial market-rate housing.


The most prominent building divides the market rate housing and the kindergarten to the north, and houses the vast community center. The large atrium of the public library greets the main entrance to the north, which also helps form the public couryard. Shaded from the heat and sun, the courtyard becomes a central hub to meet, converse, work out, and enjoy enj community. Embedded within the community center is thousands of square meters of meeting rooms, classr ooms, athletic facilities, maker spaces, studios, and amenities for the housing stacked above.

F (

Atop the community center sits a massive community garden, over three thousand square meters, producing almost 150,000 kilograms of food per year for the site. This, coupled with the solar collectors on the roof, the green roofs on the kindergarten, and the promotion of sustainability and education throughout the site prove to be a positive impact on the dense urban sprawl of modern China.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA MICRO LIBRARY Lincoln, Nebraska | Fall 2014 | Elemental Filters Professor Noah Ives | Adam Heier In a wooded part of campus, the Elemental Micro Library becomes a structure and sculpture that explores the limits of materiaity and construction. The concrete structure, similar to the work of Toyo Ito, couples with glass and wood to create an intimate, yet welcoming piece on campus.

INTERNATIONAL CONCEPTUAL WORK Spring 2017 | London, United Kingdom Future Urbanism | Professor Brian Kelly The development of this project will contemplate and investigate the effects of streets and ground level accessibility determining the outcome of a project. Almost all architecture is and has been designed and built in relation to a common ground plane, or level of access from every day users. In the future, the world may not be tied down to the ground plane, prompting the question – what if humans weren’t limited to ground and street mobility? What if the flow of human traffic into and around buildings was three dimensional rather than two-dimensional? By reimagining the public realm as a three-dimensional space, the nature of architecture as a whole is transformed. Rather than buildings having limited or single entries on the ground plane, entries can become three dimensional, and the public spaces can freely flow between them. Rather than architecture being extrusions from a ground plane, it can be much more free flowing in the space of the city.

DUTCH/DANISH MODERNISM CHAIR To be Sold Anywhere | Fall 2017 Professor Nolan Golgert | Product Design This design and investigation will theoretically embrace a similar social awareness and context to that of Danish Functionalism. Where De Stijl furniture generally lacked functionality because of comfort, the Danish Functionalism can ďŹ ll in the rest. Production should be a key part of the design, as to not make the chair sacred. This investigation has no intentions of becoming exclusive, but it is looking to be widely and easily produced on a large scale. Ideally the manifestation of this investigation would easily physically become itself in the living rooms of homes across the world. This project has no intentions of becoming an art piece, or conversely becoming as banal as a restaurant chair. Much like Danish Modernism and Functionalism, the success of this investigation will come though the realization of an every day chair that improves the lives of those who experience it. That is, in essence, the thesis behind Danish Functionalism. If this project can combine that, with comfort and a visually appealing design, the work will be successful.
