Cultural Capital
Professor: Hilary Wiese
Partner: Eli Melendez
A cultural laboratory and residency to promote the accumulation of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that one can procure through creation and its discourse. The design focuses on creating dynamic spaces with an emphasis on implementing flexible spaces that can be altered via foldable doors and versatile furniture to produce various spatial arrangements dependent on the social scenario.

The Rendezvous
Professors: Jeff Monzu, Jonathan Fliege, and Doug Peters
Partner: Rhiannon Strazdas
An adaptive reuse and mixed-use development with a focal point of a courtyard to act as a catalyst for social engagement. The project operates as both a connector and destination, — connecting existing to new with varying programs. The Rendezvous provides a live, work, and play environment, linking to the history of the Haymarket.

Blank Canvas
Professor: Zac Porter
A museum dedicated to light and volume. The large blank wall acts as a canvas for light to paint dependent on time of day. As the sun rises, more light scatters onto the gallery spaces. Light is used in the museum to highlight moments of movement. A doubly curved atrium with ribbons subtracted allows for light to refract into the lower floors.

Solar Panels Grid Connection
The Fabrication and Construction Team (FACT) studio has created two modular prototypes with components serving bus stops, bike shelters, bike repair, scooter stations, and more. The prototypes consist of cross-laminated timber and glulam systems with solar module canopy roofs to serve a range of mobility functions and public spaces. Both designs offer a plethora of configurations to open up endless possibility.
The project aims to take a climate positive approach to building and performance by implementing mass timber prototypes paired with active solar arrays. Mass timber has the potential to operate as a carbon sink and the solar array can generate more power than is required for the structure to operate. The excess power can connect to the UNL power grid, generating power for the nearest campus building.

SHAPE CUTOUT DIMENSIONING SCALE: 1/4” = 1’ 0” Shape cutout must be large enough to allow for trimming on edges that provides a flat edge surface for the connectors to attach to. The final dimension of 8’ - 10” is the same as the final cut dimension of the Glulam columns.

To highlight the use of the solar panels, a driving force in the design, a decision was made to remove a portion of the Cross Laminated Timber as a way to visibly show the addition of solar to the design and not keep it a secret.
order to minimize waste of material from the use of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), the shape that was cutout is being reused as a vertical structural support along with the Glue Laminated Timber columns that make up the remainder of the
