LNK_MoW Re-Development Catalyst
LNK MoW Redevelopment Catalyst
Year Four Semester Two Professor: Jason Griffiths Collaborator: Brent Hoschar

Description: The LNK_MoW is a multi-use project in the South Haymarket area of Lincoln, Nebraska. The project will be a new hub for the emerging neighborhood, containing housing, offices, and the Lincoln Museum of Walking. The Museum will not represent an exhibit, but rather the notion of walking through a city. The ground floor is a hypostyle plan, inverted from the solid/void relationship of the city grid. It will host numerous events to enrich the area. The office space is tailored to B-Corps to promote social responsibility. The LNK_MoW employs numerous engineered timber systems. Lower levels are framed with glu-laminated timbers that minimize the need for steel connections. The upper levels are built from cross-laminated timber. Cladding is dark brick, which reinterprets the material language the historic warehouse district.

Contemporary Art Musuem-Omaha Formal Design in an Urban Setting
Year Five Semester One Professor: Craig Babe Individual Work
16
Description: The Contemporary Art Museum of Omaha (CAMO) is designed with a formalistic approach that meets the program need while re-interpreting the surrounding context. The building uses smaller blocks to create a larger mass, similar to the surrounding historic structures. The mass of the building crosses the urban edge and defines a pedestrian zone at its base. The atrium connects vertically between all floors. The ground floor is the pedestrian zone and is largely transparent. The second level supports the museum with education and administration. The third level is split between the top-lit galleries. The promenade alternates between the inward oriented galleries and moments of connection back to the city.
Northeast Perspective 17
18
Concept Space_1: Lobby with connection to the Street Gallery and Members’ Lounge.
Concept Space_2: Street-level Gallery with connection to public space.
Concept Space_3: Main stairway as circulation and outside connection.
Concept Massing_Step 1: The surrounding context is comprised of smaller blocks forming a larger whole. Divisions in the adjacent buildings become delineating lines on the site.
Concept Massing_Step 2: The resulting areas are extruded vertically to create volumes. The heights are varied according to the surrounding building heights.
Concept Massing_Step 3: The
masses are shifted to address the new edge condition created by newer buildings. Intrusions into the new zone become glazed. The footprint of the existing building is removed to become void.
Concept Space_4: Main gallery with top daylighting.
Concept Space_5: Main gallery with top daylighting.
Concept Space_6: Upper level corridor with visual connection to the city.
Concept Massing_Step 4: The masses are rotated into the sight lines from the approach corridors. This disrupts the urban edge condition.
Concept Massing_Step 5: The gaps between the blocks become interstitial circulation space.
Concept Massing_Step 6: The
bases of each mass are raised from the ground level. This creates a sheltered pedestrian zone at the base of the building.

Description: 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 Community
Year Four Semester One Professor: Tim Hemsath Award: College of Architecture PAC Prize, 2018
Collaborators: Zai Du Maji, Jordan Morris
34
Description: 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.

Analog Drawing Work in Traditional Meida
Year Varies Semester Varies Professor: Varies Individual Work

Description: I consider drawing to be more than just a developmental exercise. Drawing allows me to understand ideas in ways that are not as apparent when using digital design processes. I believe that traditional techniques can still have a place in contemporary design practice. The following pages contain examples of work I have done in both academic and personal contexts.
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. 45

Exterior Perspective 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.
