The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Student Wellness, Research, and Education Center focuses on maximizing student wellness on campus while supporting psychological research and education. Sited at 17th and Vine St. this facility sits near the heart of campus serving as a binding component of program on campus. The building serves as a beacon point on campus that “radiates” outward, drawing the user both inward and through. This beacon is meant to highlight a safe, ambient, and collaborative environment that promotes and enhances user wellness. Program of this facility serves to support unique user experiences creating stopping, starting, wandering, and pass-by points. This facility and its supporting

program blend the barrier between traditional interior to exterior and exterior to interior connections. The program incorporates classroom spaces, wellness studios, research offices, and flex space allotted for user interpretation. With an emphasis on visual and experiential porosity, the space creates an intentional play with physical material transparencies and transitions to both blend and enhance connections between the interior and exterior built environments. The architecture sets up intentional views and site lines that guide the user through the space and site from all directions. Education is considered as the binding program while the “spine” is the binding component.

As both designers and humans we face many challenges evolving continuously from past to present. What do we do with our designs as they become a piece of the past? Adaptive reuse? How do we play a role in establishing community digitally and face-to-face? The Third Lens is meant to create a space that integrates diverse and communal co-adapted programs allowing the user to have a more user-oriented experience. The program implemented with a modular system approach – built from an interior scale that attaches itself in a symbiotic manor to the

architectural context. A small scale – mixed-use, interior urban network whose program is grounded within and extends out – forming a new building “face” – activating structure from its past to its new present – with pockets of community and socialization and a layering of public – semi-public– semi-private – and private space, in order to further integrate community both within the program and outwards into the urban network.

bath house ARCH 500 Instructor: Peter Olshavsky Fall 2020
03.
This project explores the bath house as a performing art in the context of the Haymarket, in downtown Lincoln, NE. The curvilinear form of the architecture serves to directly contrast the traditional orthogonal grid and the grid of the site. The form is organized in a system from South to North on the main level and a system from Southwest to Northeast on the second and third levels. Program is organized around the experiential quality of exploration where the user must first encounter one space before moving to the next. The circular form and its immediate tangents create pockets of program where the spaces in between become poche adding to the seductive nature of the architecture.
bath house
26
Program is centralized off of the warm pool which is considered the most communal and the place where people often come back to in sequence with the traditional Roman bathhouse. The pools are created by void spherical form where moments of this are reflected upwards in structure and aperture allowing for the presence of light and both direct and indirect views to the exterior. Circulation and sequence is created in a way that one must experience one space before moving to the next; creating an explorative type of porosity which allows the user to move and flow directly along with the architecture.

flexiplex ARCH 501 Instructor: Steve Hardy Spring 2021
04.
The Flexiplex explores a scenario of co-parenting in a separate but uniform experience. The spatial quality serves to two separate units, the ‘half house’, that comes together in a moment of connection, the ‘whole house’. Each half house is owned by either parent whereas the whole house is occupied by the children, experiences, and a connecting point of the two halves. The whole house serves as a discoverable element primarily through the ‘worm hole’ otherwise known as the children’s’ room. The main level of the units set precedent in a moment of separation
flexiplex
30
which allows the user to be aware of the adjacent unit but no direct connection is apparent to the other. The second level creates a moment of intrusion where the user is made aware of the connection to the adjacent unit but isn’t allow direct visibility. The third level is the worm hole, the connection point, and is only found through the spatial experience of a child. The fourth level is the open connection point between the two units, where both families share both separate and common spaces.

catalonia Design + Making Traditions in Catalonia Summer Study Abroad- Barcelona + Santander, Spain Instructor: Brian Kelly Summer 2018 Study Abroad

Design and Making Traditions in Catalonia was the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s summer study abroad program to Barcelona and Santander, Spain. While being immersed in a very rich and diverse culture we were asked to sketch the unique pieces of architecture. This allowed for close attention to detail and form by some of Spain’s most prominent pieces of culture. Most pieces were by Antoni Gaudi, his intention towards nature, and how design is influenced by nature. The model making workshop located
at a home workshop in Liencres, Spain, explored new and alternative ways to model making in traditional Catalonian culture. These include tile making, aluminum casting, lead casting, embossing, silicone casting, resin casting as well as acid etching.

water toxicology + research ARCH 511i Instructor: Brian Kelly Spring 2022- In Progress
06.
WT+RC

This project seeks to blend functionality with the contrasting programs of research, exhibition, and casual outdoor entertainment. To achieve this, our conceptual priorities are an exploration of microclimates and climatory intervention, drawing users into the buildings meteorological research function, a strong connection between river, site, and building, so researchers can have easy access and casual users can have maximized views, a grandiose, experiential programmatic progression through the exhibition and viewing platforms, and a high level of variety and contrast in light filtration and illumination so the site can achieve high visibility from the interstate and nearby attractions. These movements will be housed within a streamlined, simplified building form so lighting and materiality can be the focal point of the design.
The material story of the space is split between a weathered industrial component and a more futuristic aesthetic due to the influence of microclimate/meteorological inflatables, again highlighting the contrasting user groups within the building. The exhibition space and the viewing platform will serve as the most emphasized programs within the building, while the research programs will be showcased throughout the building and site while remaining discreetly separate and secure from the public programs. The dual research focus of meteorology and water toxicology allows for an exhibition with a broader focus on environmental and climatory conservation.
