The College of Architecture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and the Southeast Nebraska Development District (SENDD) are partnering with local community members on a downtown revitalization plan for David City. As part of the planning process, students traveled to David City for a community meeting and toured the area. David City community members were asked to take a survey to help UNL students better understand the needs of the downtown area and community concerns.

For the Arch210’s final studio project, “Center for Architectural Volumes,” students were asked to build upon previous work to create a space in Downtown Lincoln that could exhibit famous architectural volumes. In the first few weeks of the semester, students studied voids within their everyday surroundings and created abstract volumes, free of program and scale.

The 210 studio is structured with three primary projects. These images feature the studios second project: Interrogating Interiors; is a precedent study that asks students to “see,” reveal and learn about how to synthesize compositional and interior spatial systems into comprehensive interior environments with a “point of view.”

Representing our capacity to maintain archaic infrastructure in an overwhelming environment overflowing with waste, occupied by a population complacent to unrest, this project is as complex as the topics it alludes to.

This project critiques the haphazard mismanagement of reusable commodities of varying scales ranging from abandoned infrastructure to recyclable materials.

The municipality of Chongqing, China, is the most significant urban growth center in Western China. This trend is projected to continue for decades to come. As a mountain landscape, the city possesses a difficult topography making settlement strategies challenging. The city is also located at the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze Rivers making the management of water another important challenge to development in the city.
