Ice Silo

Studio | Fall 2022 |Year 4 | Professor Brian Kelly

Team: Eliot Stoner, William Roarty, Paul Mullins

This project, historic Ice silo located in Seward, Nebraska is an ongoing project repurposed for Ice-drill testing, research and eduactional facility followed by touristy spot. The new program workshop, hexgonal space and the existing Atlas-F missile silo in juxtaposition to one another to form a facility that provide experience to users that are students, researchers and visitors. The circulation takes visitor from the sunken promeade to an exterior ruin gardens exposing the second floor of the launch control center and the historic entry stairs. This is followed by a ramp into the hexagonal underground cold war exhibition, at this point the viewer is being exposed to the silo itself. The user is then led to the lobby space on the first floor of the workshop. The second floor is the catwalk level where one can view the ice-drill testing. The interiors of the silo have two egress stairs and elevator as required by the facility. The silo is a significant hidden piece of architecture, the exposure to this depth of cold war history is truly bold and resourceful.

Behind The Scenes

Studio | Fall 2021 | Year 3| Professor Craig Babe

The concept of Behind the Scenes revolves around the notion of circles and the drastic shifts in spaces from lobby all the way to the black box theater.This came into picture through inspiration by the works of post modernist architect Michael Graves. The curved facade are formed by the concentric circles aligning and placing the four shapes. A cylindrical volume forms the bridge between all the spaces mainly connecting the visitor’s entrance to the black box.The choice of materiality are glass and stone to follow the design intent is to space out public and private spaces however with more transparency for the viewers to experience the multiple forms of art being performed at once.The cafe consist of space where one views and engages with the artists to understand the behind the scenes aspect.

Hyperboloid Deck

Studio | Spring 2022 | Year 3| Professor Jason Griffiths

Team: Kael Jakub, Sofia Gawrick, Megan Pfiefer

Hyperboloid Deck is an extension of the existing Goodall Building that consists dining hall and classroom spaces for students at the Cedar point Biological Station located in Ogallala, Nebraska. The project faces the vast and beautiful Lake Ogallala. The design intent provides innovative solutions to the task of making an accessible ADA deck for all users of the building that consist students, faculty and visitors at the dining hall.

The hyperboloid structure is made using existing Eastern red cedar and Oak trees in the surrounding of the site. The notion of material choices was to be follow a cicular economy path to use the product to the full extent from start to end. This deck has two big asymmetrical pentagonal platforms followed by 1:12 ramp all that opens towards the lake. The underside area of the higher platform is used as gathering space whereas the other one meshes with the ground forming more seating spaces.
