Agribusiness Research Center The Agribusiness Research Center is half exhibition hall and half research lab. It sits on the edge of Innovation Campus in Lincoln, NE.
The form of the building is a result of examining five different architectural informants and their ecological manifestations with the intent of developing highly responsive propositional architecture. The five architectural informants are site, structure, rooms, light, and material. The overall design works within these constructs and takes advantage of the existing conditions to create a building that succeeds in both function and aesthetics.
Agribusiness Research Center
The facade is broken up by a pattern of angled curtain walls and solid concrete walls with wood strips that extend up to form the railing above.
Professor: Mark Bacon, Spring 2014
Exterior Perspective The exterior of the building is layered with 3� thick strips of wood that define each distinct box of space. In places the wood pulls back to reveal the curtain wall behind and to allow more light through.
At night, light from within the building shines out through the gaps between the wood strips to illuminate the building.

This project looks at smaller scale infill in the form of dense housing as another viable option for reconstructing the American suburb in Lincoln, Nebraska. A total of eight units comprise the proposed infill and take advantage of the community’s existing asset - a common green space - to create a residency that enhances the social bond.
Maximize Views
Professor: Mark Hoistad, Fall 2013
Increasing density is one of the goals that always surfaces when trying to retrofit suburbs to make them more sustainable. This project looks at a surgical solution at the micro scale of infill inside the existing fabric of the suburb. The final design consists of 50 residential units, an updated maintenance facility and new community clubhouse. The building also features multiple green roofs to enhance the sense of community and provide elevated views of the existing golf course. Section Cut

Air Rights Architecture Professor: David Karle, Fall 2014
Partner: Alec Eastman
The population of downtown Lincoln has been increasing providing an opportunity for a new stacked-vertical structure, in contrast to the typical flat-horizontal perception of Nebraska. This project is located in the air space above the old Federal Building and provides a new form of density and urban experience with views, amenities, and downtown living. Everything about this proposal was thought out in detail and a complete set of Construction Documents was created to aid in understanding this new and unconventional form of building.

MODELS
In todays age physical models have taken a backseat to digital modeling. However, there is something special about a built model that a computer cannot replicate and that special something is what I try to capture and emphasize with every model.
