Introduction to architectural design (representation) through reflective and projective techniques. Divergent and convergent approaches focus on fundamental ways in which the user, matter, and environment inform architecture. The final project is a pop-up theater at the Gene Leahy Mall in Omaha.

This 6-week long project asked students to design a retreat for a particular hobbyist. Students were challenged to integrate their acquired knowledge of design principles, space-making strategies and the intentional integration of core space-making elements of: structure and organizational grid, enclosure order, volumetric order, program development, and circulation and movement. Developing a frame in to which to operate, while considering the user and particular function of the hobby were the added layers of learning and exploration for this project. The given site of the project utilizes Le Corbuiser’s Dom-ino frame as an infill project within an existing fabric. Students were additionally challenged to consider how the interior space affects the design of East and West facades.

The ACSA COTE competition requiring students to respond to Ten Sustainability Measures was the basis of the final challenge. Students designed a hybrid office building for the parks department that included a ground floor with a variety of interactive public uses and neighborhood park activities.

This studio will observe the banal through the study of unassuming typologies to provide the conceptual underpinning for program and organization. The goal of the studio will be to expose the contradictions found in the observations to propose a hybrid craftsmanship museum to include a maker’s space, gallery, and housing.

The GROW lab studio explores spatial and programmatic innovation through adaptive and transformational hybridization of programs and logics of assembly. The final project, a Cultural Center / Market / Artist Residency in Chicago, explores the intersection of ART and FOOD in a Public-Private context, taking cues from the Seattle Sculpture Park, NYC Highline, and similar references blurring architecture as Objects and Infrastructure.

The geoglyphs studio addresses architectural design based on the concepts of ritual and trace; architectural program as response to a behavioral sequence which imprints its surroundings. The final project is a 10,000 sq-ft design for the Frank H. Woods Telephone Museum in Lincoln (on four alternative sites), which must relocate. Its permanent collection counts numerous objects from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

Introduction to architectural design through spatial and formal projects using representational techniques. A series of collaborative and individual projects introduce design process, iteration, tectonics, representation, and structure as fundamental aspects of design that relate architecture to the human subject. An urban pool will be the focus of our fourth and final project.

A 'continuum of health' in the form of a rural wellness center in St. Paul, Nebraska. Within the shell of a proposed addition to the current critical access hospital, Howard County Medical Center, students have designed a program and implemented strategies that will impact the health and wellness of the community.

Architecture, translated through Mathew Crawford (Shop Class to Soul Craft), suggests the teaching of Design-Build gives us the opportunity to reassess a craft ethos within education. This notion of “learning by doing” derived from the American Arts and Crafts is explored through three projects under development for construction in 2017.

ProCon DRS: Flat Horizontal Envelopes and ‘Mat-like’ Housing

Visiting Critic- Anca Trandafirescu

The studio explores configurational issues relative toenvelope, distribution, and programmatic types. Currently experimenting with the combination of two different suburban envelopes: large-flat (big box retail) and small-point boxes (houses) within the urban context of the Pershing Center redevelopment area in Lincoln. Students are also developing disciplinary polemics and explicit architectural/political agendas.

Sustainable Urbanism: There is an urgent need to evolve the way we (re)develop cities. Urban challenges such as blending density, global migration to urban areas, segregation of high carbon patterns of settlement, and the need to address the basic requirements of survival for a growing planetary population are all important issues that today’s designers should address.

These students are exploring new forms of urbanism that respond to these contemporary challenges require solutions that blend human settlement into the natural world and address the challenges of dense integrated development. This new form of sustainable urbanism requires both aesthetic and performance goals to be pursued that respect cultural landscapes. This studio working with a steeply sloping, seven-hectare site, adjacent to a major river in Chongqing, China, is taking on this challenge.

This studio is working to expand the dialog and conceptual framework for “healthcare” as a broad sense of improving health and wellness in our communities. Students are exploring this topic through research in fictional literature as a basis for future projection and addressing current large scale issues related to public health. These students are developing individual architectural positions from topics related to food health and safety, physical fitness, technology, transportation, mental health, and urban development.

"The aim is to organize an area to be harvested to produce organic food. The facility will also be a demonstration center to train neighboring peasant farmers, institutions and visitors on integrated organic farming practices.

The project must be self-sustainable, environmentally friendly, organic, and it must create jobs and opportunities within the community."

Introductory design studio exploring design principles central to landscape architecture. Three interrelated aspects of design are pursued: 1) the elements of composition and their formal and spatial manipulation, 2) meanings conveyed by formal choices and transformations and 3) response to cultural and environmental forces in the landscape.

Visiting Critic- Tom Leslie Co-Lab is an interdisciplinary exploration into the potential of

open-source design for the built environment design disciplines. Student teams engage in a ‘research through design’ process aggressively challenging the traditional mindset of copyright with regards to authorship. Precedent is sampled for its genotypical traits to generate various phenotypes and content is shared through a copyleft mentality. Final design investigations propose an open-source construction system for conditions where time and resources are less than ample.

Starting with the idea of recasting a vision of the future of the suburb, the Living Suburbia studio uses the Boys Town site in Omaha to develop strategies for new ways to live in suburbia. Students are reimagining land use and housing to design neighborhoods that encourage social interaction, connection to open space and nature, and agricultural uses.

Through the design of elementary schools in Omaha and rural Adams County Nebraska, this studio focuses on the question: how can design create environments that transform the elementary learning experience? The proposed design solutions aim to create spaces that support social engagement, individualized development, and respond to multiple learning styles.

This studio explores a broad, holistic approach to site design for transforming a large, complex waste landscape – the North 48th Street Landfill in Lincoln. Using a telescopic lens, projects propose design strategies for an active, regional, public infrastructure that engages with the economy, ecology, and culture of the surrounding community.
