Platte River Prairies The Nature Conservancy Year Three Semester Two Professors: Ashley Byars, William DeRoin Platte River Prairies is former agricultural land that has been restored to native prairie habitats by The Nature Conservancy. The only existing facilities are a house and workshop left from the farm operations.

These are used to support long-term researchers, educational groups, and excursions such as bird watching trips. The studio collaborated with The Nature Conservancy to try and address their needs. The resulting proposal provided oďŹƒce and lab space, a meeting facility, and restroom accommodations, in a format where the units could be closed o when not in use. The area between the units serves as an educational garden.

A walkway connects the units and provides an accessible connection from the parking lot to the trail head.

Doane Performance Center Doane University Year Three Semester One Professors: Wayne Drummond, Tom Laging Doane University is a Liberal Arts institution located in Crete, Nebraska.

The current performing arts facilities do not meet the program needs.

The studio collaborated with Dr. Jay Gilbert, Director of Bands, and Kayleigh Shadwinkle, Dance Instructor and Crete Chamber of Commerce President. This design augments the current facilities with a performance auditorium, and spaces that can accommodate both music and dance rehearsals. The building also accommodates classrooms and other support spaces. The project is sited in the center of the Doane campus. The building turns an underused space into a campus hub and a connection between campus and the lake.

Emerge Basic Shelter Year Three Semester Summer Professor: Jason GriďŹƒths Award 2017 Regional Excellence in Wood Design, WoodWorks This three-week Design-Build seminar took place on-site at the Bauman Family Tree Farm in Crow, Oregon. The project was conceived as a basic cabin, for use by visitors to the site. The shell was per-fabricated of CLT and delivered to the site. The siting, fenestration, and cladding were designed and constructed by the class members. The ďŹ nal design draws from the on-site vernacular structures, a series of buildings associated with a former saw mill. The project incorporates elements to educate visitors about the process of timber manufacturing and construction.

Re-Connecting Spencer Sustainable Housing Year Four Semester One Professor: Tim Hemsath Collaborators: Zai Du Maji, Jordan Morris Spencer Homes is a tract of barracksstyle, affordable housing owned by the Omaha Housing Authority (OHA).

The north Omaha site is lacking in numerous measures, from proximity to stores or jobs. Our studio spent the first part of the semester designing a master plan for the conceptual redevelopment of Spencer Homes in collaboration with OHA. The second phase developed the Community Center portion of the plan. Sustainable design was emphasized through all phases of the project. The plan includes features like efficient central utilities, rain gardens, and renewable power generation. The Community Center was entered in the ACSA COTE Top Ten: Innovation 2030 Challenge.

The second portion of the semester was developing the community center portion of the master plan. The building program includes housing, recreational space, and room for daycare and after school programs. The bridge carries the path and utility connections, and hosts gardens and solar panels. The path cuts through the building mass to reach ground level from the bridge. The center emphasizes sustainable design. Energy analysis was preformed with Sefaira, The Zero Tool, and NREL’s PV Watts Calculator. The north and west facades are banked to reduce energy losses. The gabions around the building sequester debris demolished from on site.

Manual Delineation Various Hand Drawings I enjoy mechanical drawing as a way to express and develop concepts.

Drawing often allows me to understand an idea more throughly than using digital tools. The following pages contain examples of my drawings for both academic and personal projects.

Oregon Barns The on-site vernacular of barns and sheds associated with the timber industry heavily inuenced the Oregon design-build project. The buildings represent local history. These three drawings capture the banal yet crucial structures.

Drawing Studio The Drawing Studio was a 3-week exercise taught by Prof. Tom Laging. The building’s program was intended to support drawing and art groups. All representations for this project were manually drafted.
