PLAIN by Jason Griffiths

PLAIN

PLAIN PLAIN is a design-build collective based in the College of Architecture at UNL. It specializes in CLT fabrication and provides buildings for non-profit organizations in the Midwest. PLAIN FACT. PLAIN works in collaboration with FACT to establish design-build pedagogy as a means to challenge student’s expectations about the nature of the architectural profession. PLAIN provides students with the experience of designing prefabricated mass timber structures by working closely with industry and co-ordinating site assembly. Students are also involved in making full-scale components in parrallel with the CLT structural core. This aspect of “learning by doing” provides a counterpoint to the abstract methods of design production. It explores notions of contemporary craft by promoting “tacit knowledge” (Sennett) through making and individual ownership PLAIN ORDINARY includes the study of everyday building typologies such as sheds, cabins, industrial structures, barns and suburban houses. It applies the literary form of “free indirect discourse” to architectural form and aesthetics found within the immediate context of each project. PLAIN RESEACH. PLAIN is funded by the USDA U.S. Forest Service Wood Innovations 2017 award through the “Great Plains CLT Market Development through Architectural Education”. This grant supports 3 years of funding for education, research and professional development and was developed in partnership with the Nebraska Forest Service.

PR 3.1 South Sioux Orchard Facility The orchard in South Sioux City stands as a symbol for community sharing and gathering; a place for volunteers to harvest apples and honey to donate to the public, in addition to educating young members of the community on themes of food production. Our project will consist of a two-storey structure, a footprint of 256 square feet, plus on-site volunteer parking. The main function of the building is to store the tools and supplies necessary to maintain an orchard. Secondary functions include interior and exterior gathering spaces for education and the processing of the harvest. The storage facility is conceptually a large jewelry box, utilizing exterior awning doors for exterior access to tools and to create shade for exterior gathering. At the end of each day, the doors fold back into the façade creating a seamless box. The budget developed from fund raising activities includes: $50,00 construction budget from City of South Sioux, NE $10,000 approx. construction material (Ash) from City of South Sioux $7,000 approx. construction material contribution from the Nebraska Masonry Association Reduced cost for CLT Reduced Professional fees for consultants In-kind donations for Nebraska Forest Services In-kind donations for photovoltaics This project was developed in collaboration with the Gene Maffit, Parks Director of South Sioux City, and Lance Hedquist, City Administrator, and is part of a series of public buildings that advance architecture in the community. Our proposal was developed in direct consultation with user groups and city residents through presentations at council sessions and at CoA reviews. Students have been actively involved negotiating costs, building control, and working with consultants while preparing construction documents. This project will be the first CLT building in Nebraska. The entire primary structure of floor, walls, and roof will be prefabricated and assembled on site and act as a showcase for advanced construction methodology with the community. The use of CLT makes this an exceptional design-build experience and presents students with the additional challenge of introducing non-traditional construction methods to City building control officers, the construction team and consultants. This level of engagement advances the discipline of architecture within Nebraska and engages research with practice through physical construction. This has had a particularly beneficial effect for city officials and the engineer (Shaffer & Stevens PC) who are using CLT for the first time and expanding their knowledge base in anticipation of widespread use of engineered limber. This project will also showcase the City of South Sioux’s Ash reclamation program. Working in conjunction with Steve Rasmussen and Adam Smith of the Nebraska Forestry Service, students have developed a cladding system that utilizes Ash from local trees affected by the Emerald Ash Borer beetle. This process involves harvesting trees under quarantine in a process that mitigates the propagation of the beetle and reduces the infestation. This activity advances the design-build ethos of “learning by doing” by engaging architecture directly with the wider issues of material supplies and regional environmental concerns. Students are also involved in an on-going evaluation of the process as part of the studio commitment to engage research with graduate level learning. This documentation will form part of a post-occupancy report that will provide content for proposed courses in the CoA curriculum based on advanced timber fabrication methodology. The project has also provided evidence for a pending application for grant funding via FY2017 U.S. Forest Service Wood Innovations award in collaboration with Adam Smith and the UNL’s Nebraska Forestry Service. The South Sioux Orchard Storage and Meeting Facility has provided students with a exceptional design-build experience. Engagement with the community, clients, consultants and suppliers has exposed them to a process that not only provides them with basic practice experience but also provides a showcase for innovative construction methodology and environmental design in Nebraska.

The Baxa Cabin - ARCH 511/611 - S17

Mass Timber Design-Build

Spring 2017

PR 1.1 - The Cedar Point Biostation Cabin in Ogallala, NE The Cedar Point Biostation cabin is the most recent project to gain funding within the studio. The aim of this project is to showcase innovative CLT construction methodology in the context of Cedar Point. Our proposal offers a reflection of existing log cabin vernacular in a way that advances mass-timber construction. The 16’x20’ cabin includes sleeping quarters that combines beds and storage for student’s belongings. The cabin is orientated to focus on the surrounding landscape and provide visitors with views of adjacent geological formations and Lake McConaughy. Current budget: a. $70,000 construction budget from The Baxa Family Foundation b. Reduced cost for CLT c. Reduced Professional fees for consultants The project has been developed in collaboration with Jon Garbisch, Associate Director, School of Biological Sciences and UNL Foundation along with contributions from CLT manufacturers DR Johnson. This process is aligned with the mission of the research station in that engages student research through in-the-field application of discipline specific knowledge. It stresses the importance of engagement through a unique learning context that is highly appropriate to the design-build ethos (learning by doing). This project will also provide the basis for the CoA’s summer design-build program that will offer handson experience of construction and timber fabrication to all students within the Architecture program. As with Santee Sioux Reservation Child Services Center and the South Sioux Orchard Storage and Meeting Facility the project will include ongoing documentation of the process and form the basis for academic reflection and conference presentations on themes of design-build and advanced timber fabrication.

It investigates different advanced timber (CLT, LVL, PSL) uses though first hand experience of production (from forest to fabrication plant), manufacture procedure (study of JR Johnson) and application in collaboration with practicing architects. Students will also learn about sustainable forestry practices through site visits and lectures with a small-scale tree farm (Bauman Family Tree Farm and environmental advocacy group FTF. Students will be exposed to detail, construction and site assembly requirements associated with particular engineered lumber projects. They will also learn about architect/fabricator “file to factory” production of information for digital fabrication techniques and 3D virtual design. This knowledge will be applied and tested through a Design-Build preparation studio wherein students be involved in Design Development and Detailed Design of a small building for BFTF as part of an ongoing design build studio. This experience will include hands-on fabrication on the site of the tree farm.

PR 4.1 Santee Sioux Reservation Child Services Center Nebraska Children and Families Foundation and University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate architecture students are working in collaboration to build a Family Support Center for the Santee Reservation. The mission of the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To create positive change for Nebraska's children through community engagement.â&#x20AC;? This project is located on the Native American Santee Reservation near Niobrara, Nebraska. There are approximately 800 people that live on the 173 square miles of land. The tribe struggles with high rates of addiction and domestic abuse. A Family Support Center would create a positive, private, and safe space for those affected by these circumstances. This Family Support Center will be a 950 square foot building that houses programs related to family healing efforts and forensic investigations for sexual and physical abuse. There will be spaces for supervised family interaction and foster parent training. An interview room and surveillance room will provide an environment for abused persons to share their experiences with authority. The budget developed from fund raising activities includes: $170,000 construction budget from Nebraska Children and Families Foundation $12,000 approx. construction material contribution from the Nebraska Concrete Masonry Alliance Reduced cost for CLT Reduced Professional fees for consultants The project was granted funding after the studio developed a schematic design in collaboration with Associate Vice President (Systems of Care and Native American Connections) Nathan Busch of the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation and Executive Director Misty Frazier of the Santee Sioux Dakota Tiwahe Service Unit. During initial site visits, we met with Misty, her staff and Marion Brandt, a District Representative in the Santee Sioux tribe, to carry out site selection and learn about Santee Sioux reservation. Engagement also included negotiations with Linda Potter, president of the Nebraska Concrete Masonry Alliance to secure a donation of brick for the exterior of the building. The project continued to develop through meetings with the Tribal Council and with Tammy Eagle Bull, the President of Encompass Architects, to arrange potential studio/architect partnership during construction phases of the project. Additional consultation included meetings with civil engineer Richard Onnen from E&A Consulting Group and structural engineer Donn Shaffer from Shaffer & Stevens PC. Even though the project is now in construction documentation, the studio is still actively engaged in fund raising. During the most recent site visit, we presented our design and a funding request for some of the initial project costs to the Santee Sioux Tax Commission. After meeting with Warren Mackey (chair of the Tax Commission and Executive Director of the Santee Sioux Tribal Housing Authority), we were assured that our selected site was available and we would most likely receive the funding. While this process has been complex and, at times frustrating, it has provided students with exceptional insight into the realities of architecture. In many ways the context of the project and the sensitive nature of the program have required exceptional maturity from the group. However, I am convinced that this will be an exemplary design-build project and an outstanding example of engagement within the College of Architecture.

Santee Sioux | Family Support Center Nebraska Children and Family Services (NCFS) and University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate architecture students are working in collaboration to build a Family Support Center for the Santee Reservation. The mission of NCFS is: “To create positive change for Nebraska's children through community engagement.” This project is located on the Native American Santee Reservation near Niobrara, Nebraska. There are approximately 800 people that live on the 173 square miles of land. The tribe struggles with high rates of addiction and domestic abuse. A Family Support Center would create a positive, private, and safe space for those affected by these circumstances. This Family Support Center will be an 800-1300 square foot building that houses programs related to family healing efforts and forensic investigations for sexual and physical abuse. There will be spaces for supervised family interaction and foster parent training. An interview room and surveillance room will provide an environment for abused persons to share their experiences with authority. The focus of this graduate design studio is the exploration of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) as a structural and architectural material. Within the scope of this project, the benefit of CLT lies in its material qualities. The exposed wood evokes a warm, safe environment. The estimated available funding is $100,000. Because of this modest budget, strategic and efficient planning will be crucial to making this project feasible. Community participation is mutually beneficial for the members involved and the design team. By engaging with local tradesmen and students, this center will hold greater significance within the community of Santee. Both local students and UNL architecture students have the opportunity to participate in a full construction project, providing construction experience and collaborative learning opportunities. 4.1 Program/ Areas: 1.

Services Phases P05 Design Development Phase Services

Design development (DD) services use the initial design documents from the schematic phase and take them one step further. This phase lays out mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and architectural details. Typically referred to as DD, this phase results in drawings that often specify design elements such as material types and location of windows and doors. The level of detail provided in the DD phase is determined by the owner’s request and the project requirements. The DD phase often ends with a formal presentation to, and approval by, the owner.

Deliverables: Design development often produces floor plans, sections, and elevations with full dimensions. These drawings typically include door and window details and outline material specifications.

P06 Construction Document Phase Services

The next phase is construction documents (CDs). Once the owner and architect are satisfied with the documents produced during DD, the architect moves forward and produces drawings with greater detail. These drawings typically include specifications for construction details and materials.

Once CDs are satisfactorily produced, the architect sends them to contractors for pricing or bidding, if part of the contract. The level of detail in CDs may vary depending on the owner’s preference. If the CD set is not 100- percent complete, this is noted on the CD set when it is sent out for bid. This phase results in the contractors’ final estimate of project costs. To learn more about the most common ways owners select a contractor, see Best Practice 05.03.01, “Qualifications-Based vs. Low-Bid Contractor Selection.” Deliverables: The construction document phase produces a set of drawings that include all pertinent information required for the contractor to price and build the project.

P07 - Bid Or Negotiation Phase Services/UNL Fabrication

The first step of this phase is preparation of the bid documents to go out to potential contractors for pricing. The bid document set often includes an advertisement for bids, instructions to bidders, the bid form, bid documents, the owner-contractor agreement, labor and material, payment bond, and any other sections necessary for successful price bids. For some projects that have unique aspects or complex requirements, the architect and owner elect to have a prebid meeting for potential contractors.

After bid sets are distributed, both the owner and architect wait for bids to come in. The owner, with the help of the architect, evaluate the bids and select a winning bid. Any negotiation with the bidder of price or project scope, if necessary, should be done before the contract for construction is signed. The final step is to award the contract to the selected bidder with a formal letter of intent to allow construction to begin.

Deliverables: The final deliverable is a construction contract. Once this document is signed, project construction can begin.

P08 -Construction Phase Services

Contract administration (CA) services are rendered at the owner’s discretion and are outlined in the owner-architect construction agreement. Different owner-architect- contractor agreements require different levels of services on the architect’s part. CA services begin with the initial contract for construction and terminate when the final certificate of payment is issued. The architect’s core responsibility during this phase is to help the contractor to build the project as specified in the CDs as approved by the owner. Questions may arise on site that require the architect to develop architectural sketches: drawings issued after construction documents have been released that offer additional clarification to finish the project properly. Different situations may require the architect to issue a Change in Services to complete the project.

Deliverables: A successfully built and contracted project. Studio Program: Page 2 of 4
