Prof. Beau Johnson

Spring 2022

The Sheldon Museum of Art is located on UNL’s campus, along the 12th & R intersection. The boundaries of the site intervention are limited by the constraints of existing campus buildings and being able to physically connect to the Sheldon in some aspect.

Since placement is flexible, we analyzed how we wanted to integrate into the site, focusing on user circulation through campus and having the building become a part of the natural flow of campus, and leveraging under-utilized aspects of the site.

The North parking lot has desired site qualities of connective moments towards main nodes of campus, the ability to bridge the divide between the public and private aspect of campus to a prominent community space, and potential to complement the Sheldon without detracting from existing site features.

Looking at placement, we prioritized creating where design was lacking, deciding to maintain the sculpture gardens to the South, and programmed outdoor green spaces, in favor of re-hauling the currently utilitarian plot of the parking lot.

Designing to serve the community connection to campus and the Sheldon is best done through this North site which is seen in our site exploration, authentic interpretation of the Sheldon’s design, and architectural expression.

Left: Threshold analysis of Sheldon building, portion of site analysis with emphasis on connection points to the Sheldon and existing axes. By deconstructing the South facade, there is a better understanding of how the site reads in terms of hierarchy. This proved to be an exercise in dissecting how the human eye reads space in terms of order, depth, and the planar tension between related objects. The interior perspective modeled here shows the view from North to South, looking almost through and past the Great Hall. The focus is not the destination, but the series of thresholds one must cross in order to reach the end of the entry.

Above: Diagramming the prominent arches of the Sheldon, using this three centered arch as a foundation for our structural concept of authenticity in respectfully interpreting the Sheldon’s trademark features. Our chosen primary structure is the prominent concrete arch motif throughout the project. Sitting at a 16’-8” column grid, we kept the intimacy of the grid as a feature, dimensioning for an authenticity of structure, and furthering the expression by manipulating the profiles and geometry of the arch in our final design.

PG 10

Above: Existing and Proposed Program Analysis

Currently: Traditional galleries and a great hall with a focus on quiet contemplation, for private use, a couple of main offices with extra administration near storage. Administration expressed a desire for dedicated programmed community space, so we used this as a foundation for the addition, where students can be expressive in an artistic environment.

Potential Proposed: The conceptual intention is supplementary for what the Sheldon has currently. As an addition, we integrated the proposed student creative spaces, adding individualistic retreat moments to create increased interaction between and across the moments of the artistic process, from making to relaxing to examining existing artworks in the Sheldon collection.

Above: Sneaking a peek into the life of students who discover a place of LEISURE, where they can shape the space to exist however they envision. A basic structure provides a framework, they cultivate program and expression as they wish.

Right: A prospective view of how an ARCHIVE space can function to serve students displaying art in various styles. Opportunity for interaction with physical pieces, either threedimensional or printed works.

Left: Peeling back the facade of the Sheldon, posing the question of how students ideally interact and GATHER within the space. What is public can also be experienced from a more secluded setting.

Below: Considering the relationship of CREATION and connection to nature, how surroundings and transparency influence personal artistic expression.

Where authenticity is seen in a tangible sense, there is also a social consideration of authenticity of connection, seen in prioritized campus integration. With Northeastern deference of form and entrance, we leverage the natural circulation paths of campus, and frame our building to receive this flow. Direct views through social programs create transparency where desired, bridging the divide between private and public space; indirect views made semi opaque by frosted glass pique interest and further draw passersby into our building. It is our intention to serve the students of campus, as such designed a building which balanced site situation, design ideation, community integration, and program organization.

Our primary structure is the prominent concrete arch motif throughout the project. Sitting at a 16’-8” column grid, we kept the intimacy of the grid as a feature, dimensioning for an authenticity of structure by manipulating the profiles and geometry of the arch. Since the scaling of a singular dimension of the arch fluctuates, we determined load transference would be most efficient at floor plate instances. The arches rest along the floor plates, and the concrete slab helps equalize the load to transfer to the next floor’s arches. PG 15

Moving up the stairway, we come to a central hub where students can choose to enter the interactive art program, where hands-on learning and making occurs. Across the stairway, there are offices for staff that primarily work with student programming, and a small entryway before the offices to blur the divide between informal and formal.

MAKERS SPACE 02

Site Studio Spring 2021

This paired project proposal concentrates on technological aspects within formal components of architecture as well as field advancements. By taking these ideas and carrying them throughout the interior and exterior design, there is a connection created between existing and manipulated site conditions.

The digital as well as physical aspects of the diversely programmed fabrication spaces in this scheme speculate for the future of maker spaces and how those will be defined in future. Though speculation can be inaccurate, this design allows for current spatial needs and accommodates future growth of the industry, basically allowing the building to grow with technology.

A central part of connecting the design to the site and community is the second-floor viaduct connection, which is entirely open along the perimeter and the central space acts as a classroom community-oriented program. This allows for a seasonal consideration of the space without rendering it unusable during unideal weather conditions. With the viaduct directly branching into the building, there is also intentionality of welcoming users and visitors into the space, not only creating the public connection, but actively drawing people in.

Our final design built on previous studio emphasis of programmatic planning and organization, as well as integration of a sustainable energy component.

Above: Activity and User Diagram

In order to properly construct program spaces the people of Callowhill Philadelphia would be interested in accessing, we researched site context and discovered many civic buildings nearby as well as a school, taking into account the recorded neighborhood’s statistics of residents, we brainstormed potential interests and considerations the user groups would consider to be community assets. While knowing the context of the site we had to cross examine the viability of the programs with gaps in the fabric of Philadelphia makers spaces, designing amenity spaces that aren’t present in the design community at a public level.

Directly Above: Form Massing Articulation

Right: Exploded Isometric

Though the forms are seemingly dense volumetrically, this is to provide the community access to a wide variety of tools and resources they would not otherwise have available. That concern of mass density is offset using glass paneling and instances of fragmenting the façade that break up the stark solidity of the form. Each program has a cut slicing into the active space in order for users to have connection to the exterior as well as spark interest for viewers from outside to catch a glimpse of the designs inwards.

Above: Section Perspective from South

Right: Integrated Sustainable Energy Component: axon & plan

The ALIGHT tiles (an independently researched energy component comprehensively integrated into both the exterior and interior of the design) are not only a motif for form and energy harvesting, but they also act as the bridging component between programmatic elements within the form. By utilizing it as a form of way finding in both floor plate and wall integrations, the paths themselves can diagram the flow of program. In terms of form, much of the design is influenced by site presence, ensuring an accessible building from all sides, and creating site conditions such as hardscape instances where user-site interaction is encouraged.

The community connection established at the first floor primarily targets the street side site passersby, with community displays and event space situated in order to draw in artist, retail, and curious foot traffic. The second floor opens with complete visual and physical relationship to the viaduct adjacent to the site. Drawing nature into the architectural design blurs the line between the built and unbuilt environment, strengthening site intentionality, but not deferring to it. The moment also provides reprieve for users to ground themselves, take a break, to be inspired and experience nature in an authentic manner. PG

Renders correspond to the paired floor plan, with the main active spaces being shown. Each main floor has a focus of physical making, electronic and digital focused design, and then the blending of the two. The links between these programs is expressed in a vertical stacking concept. With physical making the most rooted in the community, it bridges the gap from the first and second floor public floors. Then the fourth and fifth floors continues the gradient towards digital techniques and making. PG

03A 15 MINUTE CITY

Collaborators: Studio Class

Design Research: Urbanism Studio

Prof. Mark Hoistad

Fall 2022

Taking a site between 66th and 70th Streets in Lincoln, Nebraska, our class’s objective was to design a 15 Minute City. This means integrating a successful relationship between program and users where anything that is necessary to daily life is accessible within a 15 minute radius. Ideally, essentials are within a 15 minute walk, and then less daily errands or amenities look at being inside that distance for biking.

One of the objectives of the class was researching how to increase sustainable practices in the city, with a well designed masterplan, residents would have all their resources at hand, reducing single car travel, increasing connection to mass transit, and increasing selfsufficiency in energy, water, waste, and food practices.

A few guidelines we followed were having the zoning be prospective B-4, matching that of Lincoln’s downtown, in order to increase density and the potential for mixed-use programming. A specific density factor we looked at was having a FAR value of three for the entire site, with some buildings being larger or smaller, averaging to reduce sprawl in Lincoln.

The first four weeks of the semester, we split into groups to look at site conditions, program considerations, and performance goal integration. We synthesized this information and during the next weeks, finalized our “overlay” studies for streets, parks, food, energy, water, and waste; thereby looking at the most essential elements for a master plan.

Car Circulation

Traffic Light

Pedestrian Crossing

Primary Access

Secondary Access

Topo Barrier

Bus Stops

Bike Trails

Bike Safe Streets

The current site access shows traffic barriers and a deference to cars which greatly impedes movement at a human scale. Pedestrian crossing locations are limited to major street intersections. We see the gaps in walkability feasibility and how our design needs to create connectivity where it is lacking.

Sidewalks are limited to edges of the streets generally along the outermost edges of the site, public transit does have a few stops along O Street, and a bike trail along the North edge, all provide the possibilites for increased inner site circulation and larger city connection points. Future sustainable transportation methods can be integrated into a city model, with deference to the human scale over that of a car.

Looking at what the programs on the site currently lack, we determined necessary programs to include in the master plan. High Density Housing gives more user groups the opportunity to live in this area. Currently, the demographics of the area require long term solutions especially with Lincoln growing at a rate higher than the housing market can currently pace. Small Businesses and local markets further the unique identity in Lincoln, and increase product diversity for the users. Social Spaces provide diversity of social spaces with little square footage, being intentional ideas and placement of this these programs throughout the site. Adequate Park Space enhances the city’s wellness goal as well as increases the appeal of other programs. Multi-Tenant Office Space increases diversity in businesses on the site will increase the amount of job opportunities for residents. Recreational Buildings help residents keep healthy activity levels during the slower seasons for parks.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

WATER: Based on the additional density and programs, water on 50% of rooftops (in conjunction with solar panels) can provide up to 35 million gallons of water a year, a sizable amount based on the projected total 342 million gallons for the site per year.

ENERGY: Looking at a variety of sustainable strategies, the master plan incorporates active and inactive means of energy minimization and adding back to the power grid, harnessing geothermal and solar energy, having greywater systems in place, and having 50% permeable surface area of green spaces.

WASTE: Private buildings and their property utilize compost and recycling pick-up that occurs on site to reduce the amount of waste contributed to the Lincoln community. Multiple compost, recycling, and waste pick-up areas are utilized among the Meridian Park to contribute to sustainable waste collection publicly in addition to a private collection.

URBAN DESIGN GOALS

Sustainable:

Design to address social, environmental, and economic impact. Prioritize reduced costs, vibrant culture, established public green space, smart waste removal, public transportation, and generate sources of water, energy, and food.

Efficient:

Efficiency at an urban scale is meant to make the daily tasks of residents more accessible. Essential resources are in walking distance with direct paths of travel.

Inclusive:

Encompasses spatial, social, and economic factors. Affordable necessities such as housing, water and sanitation are accessible. Equal opportunities for every user, especially those most marginalized. Economic inclusion is established by creating jobs that will allow urban residents the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of economic growth.

Comfortable:

A comfortable urban environment will allow citizens to spend more time socializing to solve urban problems. Public spaces facilitate communication in a comfortable environment. Temperature and Light controlled spaces ensure spatial comfort. Intimate spaces are vital for individuals to take a step back from the dense urban core and recharge.

Creative Culture:

A creative city provides places, experiences, and opportunities to foster creativity among its citizens. The city supports local and international artistic activity that both are commercial, subsidized, and voluntary.

Promoted Health:

Design to create and improve physical and social environments and expand the community resources that enable people to support each other in their daily lives. Healthy food options and local produce as well as physical activity will facilitate a healthy city.

Quality of Life:

A successful urban city controls urban sprawl and prevents environmental deterioration. It should be seen as a desirable place to live with social and economic opportunities. Communities with a high quality of life are supportive and safe.

Biophilic:

Biophilic Cities are developed with the value and understanding that nature in the urban city will contribute to the lives of urban residents. They facilitate a unique and diverse environment that conserves and celebrates nature in all its forms.

PROPOSED URBAN PLAN

Right Upper: Natural and Built Condition Approaches

Right Lower: Axonometric Site design

Above: Plan Site Design

Taking the class objectives, we split into sectors for site development, four groups to develop the styles of: a Northern arts sector, mid site business district, Western housing and commercial, and Southern residential and civic district. As groups we developed the program interventions, energy integration techniques, social civic areas, green spaces, essentially creating an identity for our groups balancing social, environmental, and economic concerns of design.

URBAN DESIGN CONCENTRATIONS

Above Upper: For food self-sufficiency and to offset carbon emissions, a classmate researched potential on-site interventions for food resourcing. This was approached from organized pursuits of vertical urban farming down to the individual hobby scale of balcony gardens. Each type is valid and serves a purpose of providing groceries within the 15 minute city.

Above Lower: Street modifications prioritized human walkability, without completely disrupting street traffic patterns to still connect to the larger city area. Looking at protecting sustainable and mass transit with dedicated lanes also encourages potential residents to engage in more sustainable practices, minimizing single person car manufactured traffic and carbon emissions.

Water, energy, and waste measures were analyzed in previous pages, with the proposed goals being effectively implemented into the design consistently throughout the site.

LINCOLN TOWER

Individual: Audrey Huse

Design Research: Urbanism Studio

Prof. Mark Hoistad

Fall 2022

The architectural design portion of the semester involved choosing a singular proposed building massing and developing it over the last five weeks of the semester. Due to the short time for individual development, many focused on creating broad strokes to cover many design fronts.

This tower is located on the northern end of the site, the Western building is the one designed, but acts as a sister building to the one directly East. At a city scale, this building helps mark the entrance into the 15 minute city, being the Northern most building on the site. It also then has to transition into the site, as such, the form is meant to intrigue in a sculptural sense without completely contrasting the established grid.

On the natural front, being located at the point of two waterways, meant the opportunity to capitalize on the features offered there. The masterplan manipulating the Northern stream and exposing the water system running North to South ensures moments for visual interaction with water and green, and carved out moments for public program to situate between and among the water and grasses.

Programmatically, the masterplan decided to have residential buldings helps ease the transition between populated public spaces and, in the case of the North boundary, the neighborhoods of Lincoln’s single family houses. As such, this building is primarily residential, with some public programs at the building base, in the hopes of activating the public green around the water as well.

Looking

The

at the density of the site, the overall site FAR value determined the base footprint. Due to location at the crux of the water feature, designing a sculptural, landmark form to hold the corner from the North became a priority.

twist: a regular 2 degree rotation from floor to floor, clockwise, until the 15th floor where it reverses direction to prevent excess stress on the core locations.

Above: Render from the North-East Render taken from the bridge at the water feature intersection, facing the balconies of the residential units. PG 53

This layered section from the North cut shows the context of the site behind the building, the inner facade design of tower into the single loaded corridor, and the twist geometry of the sister twist building to the East. The floors for each unit type is diagrammed since the one bedrooms are only single floor apartments and are floored together, the 2 & 3 bedrooms are two floors those units are paired in this section view.

To finish the narrative of the North view, being at the edge of the built site, the elevation fully demonstrates the relationship between the sister towers, the water topographical levels which limit underground parking to two floors, and the side facade and its contrast to the “public” side balcony facade.

2 & 3 MultiStory Units

Above: 1st Floor Plan

Below: Conceptual Collage of Entry

In plan, one of the first challenges was making a central hub for visitors and residents to navigate easily, while also maintaining separation between public and private programs; by orienting offices towards the front, they can take advantage of sunlight and street interaction and presence, amenity spaces towards the back afford residents privacy.

Above: 2nd Floor Plan

Below: Conceptual Collage of Office Typology

Due to the density of residents in the tower, there is a demand for flexible office accomodations for work-fromhome, co-working potential, and hybrid office options. With a combination of office desks, small group pods, and informal workspaces. Another feature is the balcony running unbroken along the edge, meaning anyone can access it, and to increase indirect natural daylighting.

Above: 15th Floor Plan (Open Air Rooftop)

Below: Conceptual Collage of Rooftop Bar

This rooftop corresponds to the hieght of the sister building and so they connect, with this roof encircled with mesh paneling to minimize wind speed with the height. The programs are meant to cater to various user groups, a bar and diner space with a transitional informal seating, and firepits with grills for dinner and post-dinner conversational activities.

Above: 21st Floor Plan (Media Lounge)

Below: Conceptual Collage of Media Cove

The idea for this floor is to cater to traditional and modern media indulgences, with an arcade lounge for nostalgia, a game lounge for when kids need to be rowdy, cozy booths for dependable board games, and a theatre with a stage for formal and informal performances with a screen for movie nights.

Above Lower: 1 Bedroom Unit Layout (Base Unit and Corner Conditions)

The center configuration apartment is the base unit, with windows into the hallway to add to the daylighting of the interior. With a balcony large enough to populate with furniture, the depth also creates a condition of indirect sunlight into the bedroom.

Above Upper: 4th Floor Plan (1st of 2 Typ. Stack Floors)

Here there are six partial units to the floor, the other part is seen in the 5th floor plan, with the double floor arrangement.

Above Lower: 2 Bedroom Unit Layout

This only shows the base unit, not taking into account the window placement for the edge units, but the space progresses almost identically to the 1BD to have guest spaces easily accesbile, and regular “core” utilities.

Above Upper: 5th Floor Plan (2nd Typ. of Stack Units)

The upper half to the 4th floor units, these two floors showcase the typical relationship, with stairs and removing circulation between units.

Above Lower: 3 Bedroom Unit Layout

Very similar to the 2BD, instead with two bedrooms instead of an office with more sunlight equity. The upper part of the plan are the same for flexibility in adapting to market and future reuse.

PG 60

Above Upper: Inner Unit Configuration: Accounting for Rotation Around the Core

This layout is essentally a modification to the second half of the three bedroom units. By placing only three bedroom units on these inner floors (except for the 1BD floors) this maximizes the potential for the residential space.

LEARNING CENTER 04

Collaborators: Audrey Huse & Cam Spangler

Organize Studio

Prof. Sarah Deyong

Fall 2020

This partnered proposal focuses on the harmony of specific spatial qualities and programmatic elements necessary to facilitate an optimal experience for prospective users.

The organization of spaces are determined by a grid-inspired form which creates pockets of areas within an open concept plan. This grid motif exists not only as an organizational tool but is present within the design of form and fenestration. The relationship between the exterior and interior directly reflects the overarching idea of intimate spaces within a larger environment. The design balances established spaces accommodating both traditional use while being adaptive to the progressive needs of student users and technology alike.

Using Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs as a guide, floor plans are inspired by abstractions of the tiers. The first floor emphasizes connection and community programs, such as lounges, group rooms, and a cafe, all fulfilling the desire for belonging. To address the achievement and esteem section, the primary focus of the second floor allows for more traditional and progressive academic pursuits with study rooms and community garden space.

The top floor considers self-expressive needs by allowing for creative programs featuring workshop spaces and a partition grid system which can be manipulated to define the space for a variety of programs. With this considered vertical arrangement, each level allows for defined sound hierarchy, the first floor being the loudest with the community aspect and the third floor being the most introspective and quiet.

A novel learning environment allows one to further their sense of self while pursuing interests that allow for growth in every aspect of life, not only academics, but in the base needs of human motivation.

Right Upper: Schematic collages and plans demonstrating the concepts of novel learning, exploratory exercise before building design

Right Lower: Section Perspective from West

Above: Exploded Isometric in Site

Here the organization of program and adjacencies is the main focus of the design, as well as the spatial capacity with opportunity for facilitating innovative learning. One of the main ideas we pursued is creating flexible spaces as seen with spatial dividers, meaning users can manipulate their environments to best suit their needs. This center is meant to support the uses of the libraries directly West, acting as an extension for those facilities. PG
