01 NEBRASKA ART THERAPTY COLLECTIVE Ru ra l Typol og y 12,000 sq. ft. Ru ra l Nebra ska With the creative class population rapidly decreasing in rural America, how can we position the built environment to retain people of the creative class? The Nebraska Art Therapy Collective is a place for healing, learning, and self-discovery through expressive art therapies for children, adolescents, and adults ages three & up. Not only will this program generate people of the creative class, but it will also provide ample job opportunities. Margaret Naumburg, oftentimes referred to as the founder of art therapy, was the first to define art therapy as a distinct form of psychotherapy in the 1940s. Naumburg “viewed artistic expression as a way to manifest unconscious imagery, an observation resonant with the predominant psychoanalytic viewpoint of the early twentieth century.� In her practice, she had her clients draw their dreams in addition to talking about them. Built in 1967, the Art Therapy Studio in Cleveland, Ohio was the first facility dedicated to this practice. Today, the American Art Therapy Association represents more than 5,000 professional art therapists dedicated to helping people overcome emotional problems through art. While art therapy is gaining greater acceptance by mainstream medicine along the coasts, this wildly effective treatment is out of reach for most people residing in rural Nebraska. By reactivating abandoned barns into centers for creative therapy, residents of rural Nebraska will have greater access to healthy creative outlets which will retain and generate individuals of the creative class.

02 UNIT 125 B ou tiqu e Hotel Ada ptive Reu se Downtown Linc ol n, NE Lincoln, best known as the site of the University of Nebraska and its top-ranked football team, has become a powerhouse example of great education, business advancement and entrepreneurial growth. However, considering the context, tourism is one of the areas where this city falls short. Unit 125 is an adaptive reuse project aimed at building the tourism industry and expanding the local art scene. This space will attract the attention of travelers from all over, and inspire the creation of similar venues around the midwest. Our project site is the historical Nebraska Typewriter Building, a narrow elongated site nestled against an 11 story condominium complex in Downtown Lincoln. The two-story villa is approximately 60 feet in length and 30 feet in width. Even though the site is a mere two stories high, the design will create an expansive feeling, completely transporting the user as though they have entered an entirely new area amidst the urban landscape. This feeling is graphically represented in the drawing to the left. By using given interior and exterior elements in the Nebraska Typewriter Building, I will create a fun and playful environment that will expose users to a new level of exclusivity, never before accessible. The concrete skeleton of this historical space informs the hierarchy and occupancy in each room. This design solution will inform circulation, create suspension, inspire tactility.

CONCEPT Inspired by the famous NYC night club, Studio 54, users of this space will experience a transformative threshold when entering the building. This space will rebrand the notion of luxury, making it accessible to users in the rural area of Nebraska. While blending design, art, and hospitality in a new and different way, this space will aid in the expansion of Lincoln’s growing art scene.
USER DESCRIPTION The users of this space are travelers, interested locals, and thrill seekers. Unit 125 is a hub for creatives, innovators, and artists to meet, work, catch up, and radiate energy outward into the evolving and vibrant neighborhood outside.

SECOND LEVEL
STREET LEVEL PRISM EFFECT Acting as the predominant source of order, the centrally located freplace, or metephorical “prism,” informs all other spaces in the building. Users are meant to bounce between points of threshold, circulating like beams of light projected through a prism. The stairs act as the main vessel redirecting the “light beams,” which then translate into three suites.

Located beside the fireplace on the second floor, the whimsical lounge above is a place for visitors to relax, gather and potentially collaborate. Materials were chosen based on surrounding surfaces. When combined, primary colors serve as an anchor for the space, supported by accenting secondary colors. The two sculpture pieces shown here were created by Brinkk Studio.

Twelve skylights punch through the roof of this building, informing the layout of three individual suites (above left). This layout begins to introduce a hierarchy of spaces that informs occupancy and nightly rate. Each suite includes access to it’s own private bathroom, where the materials mimic the surrounding facade (above right).

03 NEX T HEALTHCARE Am b ulat or y Care Clinic S OD O D ist rict Se a t t le , WA Nearly three-quarters of Seattle residents are adults between 18 and 64 years of age, with an especially high concentration of young adults (age 25 to 34). My intention is to reach and engage millennials in preventative care by creating an environment that causes a more casual interaction between patients and staff. By highlighting the brand of NEXT, this space will promote healthy living and active lifestyles, enabling users to reach peak health. Collaborative team-based spaces allow staff members to work quickly and efficiently while encouraging relationships. By encouraging young adults to pursue preventative care, this space will create a positive change in the urban community by providing the key resources millenials need to lead a healthy life.

FLOOR PL AN
k Divided between the “front-of-house” and “backof-house”, this facility is designed to improve efficiency, reduce overall foot traffic, and maximize access to daylight. Located in the central core of the floor plan is the open office. The work cafe is located along the windows and remains open so that natural light can reach the open office.
l
A second entrance for staff and returning patients includes a vertical bike rack so users can commute to the facility. A separate reception is also stationed by the second entrance for massage and acupuncture patients, doubling as a finance and billing desk.

Playful pendants and reclaimed wood reception desk make a fun and exciting first impression. Colored glass to the left of reception surrounds the team conference room, putting patients at ease while sitting in the waiting room with the slightest bit of transparency. A positive support system is proved to be a key factor in producing positive outcomes. Spacious exam rooms will encourage patients to bring family members along for their visits and encourage communication about healthy lifestyles.

WORK CAFE The work cafe is a multipurpose area that provides patients and staff a place for a more casual interaction. This space can be used for informal patient meetings, food preperation demonstrations, a place for staff to eat lunch, and various office events. Options range from bar to lounge seating, and acoustical ceiling tiles dampen noise for the adjacent open office.

OX YGEN BAR Visible through the glass curtain wall facade, the oxygen bar is a way to grab the attention of building occupants and draw them into the space. The inhalation of oxygen has proven to have many shortterm health benefits including reduced stress, increased energy and alertness, reduced headaches, and sinus problems, and generally relaxing the body.
