FACT partnered with History Nebraska and 6 community development organizations to design and promote new approaches to the affordable home for communities in Nebraska. The project is inspired by Evicted, a traveling exhibition highlighting the eviction crisis across America. To accompany the national narrative, Nebraska’s Housing Stories was created to highlight statewide, historic housing issues that often become less visible factors contributing to the eviction crisis.

Bus shelters and bike sheds occupy an awkward position in the design universe – they are neither small buildings nor large site furniture – yet they form an important part of the urban landscape, and in particular, the built environment of the university campus. This project will develop and realize a new prototype for such structures that re-envisions the type for a post carbon future.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Phyto provides a minimally invasive long-term solution to the city of Omaha, Nebraska’s lead pollution problem. Omaha is home to the largest residential EPA Superfund site in the country, due to the pollution created by multiple lead smelting and manufacturing plants that left behind over 100 years worth of lead contamination across Omaha, which disproportionately and severely affect the health and wellbeing of vulnerable populations today.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
As stewards of the built and natural environment, it is our responsibility to design for all: regardless of race, gender, sexuality, financial status, or ability. The Green New Deal serves as a legislative reminder of the systemic injustices, exacerbated by climate change, which disproportionately affect frontline and vulnerable communities.
