In addition to the investigation of program and form, the Landform Workshop project also represents an examination of pattern, computational tools, and the role of each within the design process. In designing the landscape, students were required to use a geometric pattern as a generative tool and to produce a final design using computational methods such as parametric modeling or scripting to manipulate the site.

FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team, a student design-build workshop), in collaboration with Min | Day, is designing and building a series of single-family houses for the non-profit community development agency Neighborworks Lincoln. The homes will utilize repurposed shipping containers as a primary structural and spatial component.

As a multifunctional work of architecture, the exhibition function of this project is emphasized. Visitors are able to experience a series of exhibition from inside to outside, and this one-way circulation leads them out of the building. However, staff circulation is a simple straight line from the entrance to a backyard of the research field. The Green Gallery is a bridge that strides over the swamp, and the swamp becomes a natural protection of privacy.

This project generates an alternative model of high-density development for emerging metropolitan areas that increases the intensity of use and overall density of a site while simultaneously producing new types of public open space. The example chosen here is Lincoln, NE.

FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team, a student design-build workshop), in collaboration with Min | Day, is designing and building a series of single-family houses for the non-profit community development agency Neighborworks Lincoln. The homes will utilize repurposed shipping containers as a primary structural and spatial component. The goal of the studio is to find ways to use the containers efficiently and honestly, taking advantage of inherent structural properties.
