As the second of three design projects during their first architecture studio at UNL, second-year students were asked to design a private pool. Working through a constrained design process, each student developed a spatial construction based on graphic analysis as a point of departure for their four-week design project. During the development process, students rigorously engaged the complex relationships between the ideas, architectural forms, representation and experiences.

Seed Lottery is an Atlas F Missile Silo renovation project located in Wilbur, NE. This project aims to tell an entire story through one form of representation, the section. The section becomes extremely important when renovating an abandoned Atlas F Missile Silo, because most of the program will be underground. The silo is reimagined through a fantastical narrative and a hybridized drawing technique.

This proposal is for a new Center for Emerging Fabrication Technologies located within Lincoln, Nebraska’s Innovation Campus. The mission for this design proposal is to create a fluid atmosphere of creative collaboration between the various user groups which consist of researchers, students and the general public.

Children occupying space in uncommon ways; attempting to inhabit a space which is atmospherically, tangibly and materialistically different than the everyday norm, a want to occupy the whimsical. The Cloud House investigates the relationship of the mundane and the whimsical in domestic architecture; the reimagined type of domesticity explores a sensual and experience based approach to create an atmospheric, unique space.

This project threads a series of paintball courses through clusters of hotel rooms in a vertical tower. Rather than separating these two contrasting programs, the project embraces the unexpected interactions that might occur between paintball players and hotel visitors throughout the section of the building.

This project reimagines the Big Box typology as a pair of theaters with undulating floors where visitors can spread out on blankets and enjoy film in an informal, social manner. The ceiling is articulated with lights that mimic the night sky and evoke the feeling of a midnight film screening on an outdoor lawn. These theater spaces are flanked by figural pathways that weave through the plan providing access to restrooms, concessions and other back-of-house programs.
