QUILTED PRAIRIE RETROFIT GREEN ROOF
This site plan of Hardin Hall shows the many roofs that could potentially accommodate green roofs. The site we designed is the south west roof on the site plan labeled ‘Hardin Hall’. With the shade provided from the evergreens adjacent to it and the tallest building structure to the East it can allows for many different micro-climates and grow a variety of plants. It also allows for multiple views from the adjacent buildings which provide office, classroom, and hallway views. Not only will a green roof become a more pleasing view for building occupants, but it comes with a multitude of economic and environmental benefits. Hardin Hall Green Roof

PLANTING STRATEGIES The plantings have been divided based on organizational lines derived from analysis and site furniture. The height of these sections indicate what wind zone these planting areas are in. Not only can the protected zone allow for taller plants, but since it is the farthest from the viewing windows on the East building, it does not obstruct any views. They are further divided based on water availability, shade-sun conditions, and they follow regulating lines across the site. Inspired by the quilt museum across the street this planting composition reflects the patchwork of a quilt. The selected plants were selected from the Chicago Botanical Garden and cross referenced with plantsman Dr. Richard Sutton. The species we chose were done on the basis of drought hardiness, height and color.

COMPOSITE PLANS These diagrams evaluate how the plant material will change following a twenty year period with minimal maintenance. Growth patterns based upon speculations we made as a team: plant density would follow drainage pattern, wind exposed areas would be the most diverse, the eastern turbulent area would mix within itself.
Composite blooming at installation
GREEN ROOF LAYERS The different layers of substrate are made up of mostly the same components. A waterproof membrane is first laid to prevent leaks into the building. A root barrier protects the membrane from damage. Then a drainage layer is added followed by a filter fabric to stop substrate material from getting out of place. On green roof B there will be two different substrates, crumb rubber to lighten the weight of the deeper substrate and a growing medium for the 4� substrate. 5

AVERY ² 12TH & T STREET PLAZA
The Avery Plaza, located on the intersection of 12th and T street of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln Campus is an important node on campus. Near the Love Library commons, this site links the circulation of important buildings: Avery (Mathematics), Hamilton (Chemistry), OldFather, Burnett and Memorial Stadium. The site is currently burdened with grading complications, pooling water, eroding concrete, and hosts an informal tree canopy. These break the formality of the mall right upon one of our campus/city’s landmarks and visual anchors.

The planners of Gering approached our studio for help in redesigning the 10th street corridor. Which connects Gering to Scotts Bluff. The street is currently under-performing their expanding walking and cycling commuters as well as overwhelming drainage complexities. Activities in these communities include the Hot Air Balloon Festival, Fiber Fest, and Oregon Trail Days. The focus of communal opportunity are centered around the arts, inspired by the population of proud independent citizens we narrowed our intent to focus on textile arts. Our spaces are tailored to the crafter, we offer spaces for learning, activities, shopping, and recreation. These activities are packaged within a textile inspired landscape which also accounts for pedestrian safety and offers a more comfortable traveling experience. Partners: Kristina Harms, Moqi Yao

MOD PARK MODULAR DESIGN FOR URBAN DECAY
The Omaha Municipal Land Bank reached out to us in search of methods to occupy vacancies and strengthen deurbanizing neighborhoods. The installations were to last between one to three years, costing between five and seven thousand dollars. Omaha tourism is sport and event dominated, we drew from this and expended our program to gaming. We achieved this using locally sourced recycled materials. Our budget reflects materials if they were bought new.

PROJECT GOALS PHYSICAL HEALTH Parks containing a paved or unpaved trail and parks with wooded areas were 7 times more likely to be used for physical activity than parks without such features.
PROPERTY VALUE
HOLISTIC HEALTH
Participating in sports develops healthy living habits that provide physical benefits such as developing coordination, physical fitness, and strength.
PHYSICAL HEALTH
Those who got the most outdoor time were 42% less likely to be overweight by the end of the year.
On a 100-point scale, a 10-point increase in walkability increased values by 1–9%, depending on property type.
MENTAL HEALTH When parents with children with ADD were asked to list the activities that improved their children’s behavior, 85% listed green space activities, including fishing and soccer.
MENTAL HEALTH
WASTE REDUCTION
Every dollars spent in after-school programming, it saved on average $6 in crime, court and detention costs.
Overall, wood waste accounts for about 17% of the total waste received at municipal solid waste landfills in the United States.
URBAN MODULAR - MELEEM Skopje Tetovo, Macedonia
MENTAL HEALTH The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex especially benefit from playing board games. These areas of the brain are responsible for complex thought and memory formation.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT Play during the teen years and into adulthood helps the brain develop even more connectivity, especially in the frontal lobe which is the center for planning and decision making.
