Introduction College Message The mission of the College of Architecture at UNL is “to develop design professionals who will effect cultural, societal and environmental change.” Implicit in this statement is a goal to extend the capacities of our students and faculty beyond the basic mandate of high-quality professional education. We believe that the task of educating young professionals should not be segregated from a collective mission to address real problems and difficult challenges through the innovative processes of planning and design. Consistent with this position, the College values design as a creative and disruptive process, not an aesthetic product. In the context of troublesome economic challenges, persistent ecological crises, and the constancy of social and cultural change, design cannot persist simply as a passive aesthetic ameliorant or as a superficial mask over problems temporarily solved by disciplines in isolation. Design is no longer seen as a way to make products, interiors, buildings, landscapes – environments of all kinds – look better; design is in fact a fundamental engine of 10 / College of Architecture
innovation leading the way in the development of new products and environments that address the real needs of people. At the core of all College programs are the shared values of professional education, disciplinary knowledge, and design thinking. The term “design thinking” refers to a mode of thinking that begins with empathy for the context of an issue, works through multiple iterations of creative ideation and prototyping, and analyzes the results for fitness. Design thinking involves both divergent and convergent thinking. Although design thinking has been popularized by design and strategy firms such as Palo Alto-based IDEO, the College of Architecture is particularly interested in applying the collaborative and interdisciplinary methods of design thinking to the problems of the built environment. Before entering their chosen professional program and focusing on the disciplinary knowledge at its core, undergraduates in the College begin their education with an introduction to design thinking.
This course precedes basic (compositional) design and establishes design as a mode of problem solving that eschews the selection of normative solutions for innovations that creatively redefine problems and produce transformative results. At the graduate and professional level, students work with faculty to deploy design thinking methods while working through complex problems and generating new knowledge. Research can take many forms and all exist in the work of the College, but design-research positions architectural & design explorations as a research protocol situated between the creative agendas of the arts and the technical methodologies of the sciences. Designresearch is unique to our collective disciplines and we privilege it as the source of our most innovative work. Students and faculty collaborate in a creative environment integrating advanced learning strategies, design-research, creative output and community-focused engagement. The graduate and professional programs in the College of Architecture at UNL featured in this book extend the core mission of the College into specific disciplinary areas. However, program overlaps and dual degrees embody the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of design & planning education
at Nebraska. All professional degrees are fully accredited by the predominant national boards. The M.Arch (2-year and 3-year programs) develop architects capable of working in a multitude of professional environments, including nontraditional and experimental practices. Students graduate with advanced architectural design skills and optional specializations in design computation, history / theory, health, fabrication, and a variety of other areas. The M.CRP (Master of Community & Regional Planning) prepares planners to tackle a variety of policy and community-based challenges through a general degree or a set of established interdepartmental specializations. M.S. degrees in Architecture and Interior Design allow students to pursue focused research at the graduate level. A variety of dual degree options allow students to tailor a cross-disciplinary education to a specific combination of skills. These don’t just serve niche areas in the workforce, but enable graduates to be leaders in the ever more collaborative environment in which they will work. Jeffrey L.

M.Arch Design Research Studio Master of Architecture
The design-research studio positions architectural explorations as a research protocol situated between the creative agendas of the arts and the technical methodologies of the sciences. The studios prepare students to be self-motivated professionals capable of using design to work through complex problems and generate new architectural knowledge. Building on the technical and disciplinary proficiency developed in an undergraduate architecture program or the first-year of the 3M program, students engage design and research agendas of contemporary significance. Students have a choice of semester and year-long studios in a number of emphasis areas. Designresearch studios often involve collaborations with students and professionals from outside the field of architecture.

Urban Box Store Prototype The ‘Urban Box Store’ Prototype explores architectonic systems through parametric experimentation of material types and beam span limits, eg. timber, steel, and concrete. The final design proposes a ground condition rooted in the tectonic pragmatics and spatial organization of the parking structure. To create a Urban Box Store novelty, a timber construction method fuses small, local retail with large, department store program stacked on top of a ‘warped slab’ parking garage. The design proposal occupies one half of a Lincoln, NE city block (300 ft. x 300 ft.). A unique alley typology is realized when the full city block is occupied by two urban box stores.

M.Arch Design Research Studio Architecture/Landscape Architecture 511/611 Surrounding San Francisco Waterfront revitalization has become a cliché of post-industrial re-urbanization as cities around the world transform industrialized waterfronts into public parks, promenades, commercial developments and other people-friendly environments. Areas that were once the ugly backside of the city have become the aestheticized public edge. In a studio populated by Architecture and Landscape Architecture students, we investigate this phenomenon and propose alternative approaches using the Port of San Francisco as a case study where our primary task is to provide public access to the water while maintaining the working waterfront. We seek to create what Stan Allen calls “an infrastructure of potential.” Jeffrey L. Day Professor of Architecture

M.Arch Design Thesis Master of Architecture
Recognizing that one’s graduate education is largely self-directed, ARCH 613 / 614: Design Thesis presents 6th year Master of Architecture students the opportunity to conceive and execute an independent investigation in Architecture. Design Thesis investigations are instrumental in their role for future professional development, and may also act as springboards for further academic pursuit. A correctly-formed Design Thesis investigation identifies a subject for inquiry that is of relevance to a larger Architecture audience, researches the subject both through the discovery of scholarly sources and the generation of new creative content, develops a Design Thesis question, and ultimately generates a response that can be supported, argued, and defended in a polemical way.

This thesis aimed to answer the question: “How should architecture enhance one’s experience with water?” Phenomenological research and an investigative site trip in the fall led me to an investigation centered around exploiting the line where air and water meet. Water is constantly in a state of flux even when it appears to be flat. The concept behind the final design pushed and pulled that line of air meeting water and created a hyper paused section through the natural peaks and valleys of moving water. The super verticality of this becomes a commentary on the relative flatness of water. Brittany McClure 2M Architecture Student

One of the largest resources we have today is data. We have information on almost every measurable subject. But what do we do with it? This project explores how data can directly influence architectural form. The results of this exploration into data driven architecture is that of an automated system that based on its given location, users, and surrounding data, can produce an efficient and performative building. Not necessarily performative in purely the ecological sense but rather performative in all measured ways, from user satisfaction, circulation efficiency, types of program, and many other parameters.

Obsolescence: a decline in the value of equipment or of a product brought about by an introduction of new technology or by changes in demand. This thesis examines two central questions: how to develop the architectural use of an aircraft fuselage and how to utilize this element on a variety of different scales. The inherent tectonic and structural advantage of the fuselage, combined with the abundance of large abandoned airfield sites across the nation and the availability of over 12,000 obsolete aircraft, this thesis project will serve as a case study for how to redevelop obsolete economies into efficient and viable design solutions.

M.Arch Electives Master of Architecture
One of the many great reasons students choose to pursue the M.Arch at UNL is because of the wide variety of professional electives we offer. You can choose to focus your studies on specific areas such as history/theory, fabrication, representation, building technology or professional development. Or you can choose to take a wide variety of electives from across the spectrum. Students in the Masters Program will also take one outside elective from an area other than architecture. Our students have chosen to take this elective from a variety of programs at UNL including: Community and Regional Planning, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Horticulture, Theater Design, Studio Art, and Graphic Design just to name a few.

M.Arch Arch Representation: Theory & Application Master of Architecture
‘Play’ was the projection of an architectural, urban, and cultural experiment that took place in the last half of the 19th century. The Pruitt-Igoe housing development was expected to be a major success, housing several thousand occupants in center city Saint Louis. After 16 years, it met a demise of epic proportions in 1972 as the first of the buildings was demolished. This project asked students to explore the potential of architectural representation as a means of projective risk taking. Students deployed hybrid techniques and considered drawing as a means of expression which might not only happen through movement of a drawing instrument or mouse click.

M.Arch Digital Fabrication Master of Architecture
The use of digital fabrication in the production and making of architecture is a prevalent vehicle for the design process. As a result, there is a growing demand for computer-aided design (CAD) skills, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) logic, parametric modeling and digital fabrication in student education. Digital fabrication allows designers to explore fabrication techniques of sectioning, tessellating and folding. Mixing these techniques challenges students to understand the CAD constraints or parameters for modeling, translate ideas for CAM production and deal with real world constraints of materials, time and tectonics.

M.Arch Architecture in Film Master of Architecture
With the development of specialized fields came an unexpected and undesirable consequence: an increasing alienation of the expert from the people’s everyday conduct of life in and around the building. In order to re-appropriate the experts’ culture from the standpoint of the life-world, we taped into the mechanisms of the film, which may surpass traditional means of representations in communicating the emotional and psychological effects of architecture. By examining written texts in architectural and film theory, analyzing selected films, and producing short videos, the students explored the ways in which architecture participates in sociocultural and political aspects of human life.

In this project, which is scripted in Processingsoftware, we have employed a generative design approach in which we aim to use the computational strategies to integrate the behavior patterns into the form making process. Here the collective behavior pattern, the swarm-intelligence, is explored through three types of agents and their intelligent decision makings in interaction with fields of positive or negative forces (attraction and repulsion). The trails of these agents are recorded and color-coded through what is known as the stigmergy-process which can be used for design purposes. Four alternative differentiations of these patterns are presented here. The project was conducted under the supervision of Professor Janghwan Cheon in the spring of 2012 at UNL. Alireza Karbasioun

This multi-use project is a reaction to Omaha’s large refugee population, centering on the office headquarters for a local nonprofit refugee service organization. The intention was to create a positive and comfortable transition from refugee life into American society by designing a space that fosters refugee needs. The first floor thrift store acts as a means of revenue and refugee employment, the second floor is office space, and the third floor houses temporary residences for refugees. An illuminated, semi-transparent abstracted tent form is present in the center of each level, slowly unfolding as the space vertically morphs from public to private. Elyssa Yoneda

Key destinations in Crete proved to be the the schools, downtown, and the park system. Through the walkability audit, a clear analysis showed the condition of the sidewalks and streets used to connect these destinations. Showing the walkable distance within a quarter mile radius, it is clear that many of the destinations in Crete are a “walkable” distance from one another. However, the analysis of the condition of these connection paths - including tree density, lighting, street surface condition, sidewalk condition, and on street parking - shows very poor walkability ratings on many of these streets. A good place to start improving walkability may be by first fixing the areas that are used the most.

Population growth in rural America reflects a balancing act between natural increase (births minus deaths) and net migration (in-migrants minus out-migrants). Both play an important role in rural population chane, but the influence varies across time and location.
The population change of the City of Crete as a whole covered up the great gap between the Non-Hispanic and Hispanic individual population change.
The median age for the City of Crete is much lower then Saline county or the State. The States median age is 43.7 years of age. The largest age group of the City of Crete is 20-24 year olds could this be cuased by the college population.

Understanding population size, distribution, composition and the processes driving the stability or change in population is crucial in the development and implementation of programs that serve the local community. Demographic analysis is a prerequisite to all parts of the planning process. Information concerning the structure and dynamics of local populations is key to identifying and anticipating problems and community needs, establishing short- and long-range program goals, developing action plans, identifying fiscal and human resources and evaluating the impact of the given effort.
Educational attainment is a powerful predictor of well-being. Young adults who have completed higher levels of education are more likely to achieve economic success than those who have not.
The percentage of the education level below high school diploma of the Non-Hispanics and Hispanics over 25 years of age and how that effects their earning potential.
Median income is the amount which divides the income distribution into two equal groups, half having income above that amount, and half having income below that amount. Mean income (average) is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate income of a group by the number of units in that group.
Household median income for non-hispanic and hispanic households in the city of Crete. Non-hispanic inocome is around $2,500 less than the Nebraska median household income and around $9,000 more than the City of Crete’s Hispanic median household income.
The commute time to work was heaviest in the 5 to 9 minute range with 72.3 percent of the workers traveling to work in less than 20 minutes. The workers travel time data was marginally at best due to the margins of error being high,

THE IMPORTANCE OF HOME OWNERSHIP
Housing tenure refers to the financial arrangements under which someone has the right to live in a house or apartment. The most frequent forms are tenancy, in which rent is paid to a landlord, and owner occupancy. Mixed forms of tenure are also possible.
Tenure for Non-Hispanic and HIspanic population is shown as a total of tenure for the City of Crete and shown as a percentage of individual racial group.
Vacancy rates are statistics kept on vacancies in rental properties, homes for sale, and hotels. High vacancy rates are usually viewed as a sign that the market is struggling, while low rates are desirable, because they indicate that property is a hot commodity and that vacancies rarely remain unfilled.
Vacancy rates in the City of Crete increased by 72.7 percent with vacant housing units going from 110 to 190. Housing units increased by 9.2% with housing units in 2000 being 2,188 to 2,389 in 2010 and occupied housing units increasing by 5.2 percent.
Home ownership is defned by the proportion of households that are owner occupied is termed the homeownership rate. It is computed by dividing the number of households that are owned by the total number of occupied households. Vacancy and home ownership data are used extensively by public and private sector organizations to evaluate the need for new housing programs and initiatives. House loans take into account the owner occupancy of an area when reviewing loan papers since owner occupancy is seen as a strength in neighborhood.

HOUSEHOLD & FAMILY SIZE 2010
JOBS TO HOUSING RATIO
Household size is an important factor becuase it determines poverety level. For example, the median income for a household of one will be lower than for a family of six. The bigger your household size, the higher your income can be and still be below the state median income.
Household consist of all people occupying in a housing unit and Family consist of a group of two people or more (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together as one family.
This is a ratio used to see if there is a balance between housing units and jobs in the city. The ratio below indicates that there are a few more housing units then jobs. The ratio show that there are 1.22 jobs for every housing unit.

Housing is a fundamental component of quality of life. Without appropriate shelter, people cannot meet their basic needs and participate adequately in society. Housing issues can have flow-on effects for health, education and community wellbeing. The changing demand for housing and supply constraints can put pressure on an urban area’s natural and social environment and affect a city’s ability to provide suitable infrastructure and services.

Notable elements of Crete ‘s Housing can be broken down into two parts, Decreasing Homeownership and the Shortage of housing units. Home ownership in Crete is down by 3.3% since 2000. Crete’s home ownership is 52.6%, which is lower than Saline County’s or the State’s by over 8%. Home ownership is important to both individuals and their community. Individually home ownership reinforces family stability, responsibility, asset building, and self-esteem.
210 Incomes
200
253 Incomes

Communities benefit from home ownership by increased tax revenue, greater private investment, and stronger & safer neighborhoods with increased social capital. To see these benefits Crete should work on increasing home ownership and maintaining at level’s equal to the County’s and State’s rates.
450 Incomes
500 600
When comparing total household incomes to total properties available the result shows a shortage of just 19 housing units. However there is a shortage in properties above the $150,000 point of 424 housing units if those household incomes wanted to purchase a property in the corresponding price range. On the other hand, properties in the under $150,000 price range there is surplus of 443 properties with 237 of those properties falling in the $10,000-$50,000 range.
650 Incomes
HOUSING UNITS

HOUSEHOLD INCOMES
The information that we collected leads us to believe Crete needs more middle to upper income housing units and the surplus to lower income housing units and vacant units need to be addressed. In the future if city reaches a population of 8,500 people. The city will need an additional of 479 housing units.
