Located in the heart of the black hills, the Cirlce-Z Ranch serves a variety of groups. The Hearth is a collection of a kitchen, gathering space and a woodpile- serving as a base camp to the 1000+ acres. The buildings focus on providing open spaces, which allow users to connect with the surrounding land while providing shelter from the elements. The project was completely designed, engineered, and built in 2 weeks. RAW participants also camped adjacent to the site for the entirety of the workshop requiring full immersion and understanding of the site. Using sustainable building methods, the project fostered an understanding of design innovation as it relates to the natural environment, design in-tuition as informed by construction and material knowledge, and design process in a collaborative work environment.

Project: Installation competition, Spring 2012Location: downtown Lincoln, NebraskaProject Collaborators: Brad Howe and Morgan Cox

PARK(ing) Day is an annual worldwide event where artists, designers and citizens transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks. The mission is to call attention to urban land use, to generate critical debate around how public space is created and allocated, and to improve the quality of urban human habitat. The UNL College of Architecture hosted a campus wide competition to finance the fabrication of 5 design winners. The goal of our PARK(ing) Day stall is to develop a space that invites the pedestrian from the sidewalk to engage the space. Using reclaimed material, an interactive bench was designed and built for the purpose of exploration, sitting, lounging, and interacting. Our PARK(ing) stall was active for an entire 8 hour work day and garnered much use from the downtown shoppers, UNL students, and curious passersby.

(PARK)ing DAY: User-Generated Urbanism

The goal of the design is to develop a space that INVITES the pedestrian from the sidewalk to ENGAGE the space. The group developed four actions as drivers for the design.

(1). EXPLORE: Constantly shifting, the structure moves through the parking stall creating new spaces for the user to explore.

(2) SIT: The structure defines seating areas, allowing the user to enter the space and experience a different urban environment.

(3) LOUNGE: The structure provides a relaxing setting to take a break and enjoy the surroundings.

(4) INTERACT: Creating unique spaces within the stall will invite users into the space and promote conversation and interaction.

The stall is not intended to be a scultpural piece of work, but rather a space that PROMOTES USE.

The structure will consist of recycled materials (both found and purchased) and feature a modular construction method.

PROPOSAL FOR INFILL

With a ten year population decrease and a lack of economic advancement, the town of Crete, Nebraska requested our classs professional services to help revitalize the quality of life issues in the small rural town. Together, our team led a grassroots initiative that resulted in a plan to impact change in Crete and the county. Throughout a semesters worth of work, our class composed a thorough inventory and analysis report identifying Cretes strengths, weaknesses, and potential regarding physical, social, and environmental issues; applied community planning and design principles in the establishment of a framework plan for development; developed alternative development strategies based on research and community input; and implemented an inclusive public process that began to build community capacity to sustain Crete over time.

Project: Landform Progression, Fall 2011Location: Nebraska Machinery Company testing site, Omaha, NEProject Collaborators: Rachel Plessing, Scott Bishop (STOSS LU)

Landforms are changed in size and shape by construction equipment and contemporary technologies just as they are by ecological and programmatic considerations. The introduction in recent years of large scale, efficient machinery capable of moving large quantities of material with comparative ease has opened up the possibilities for major civil engineering works and construction programs. A positive approach of the design of landform can thus be adopted, making use of these modern facilities. The Nebraska Machinery Company sponsored a 1/2 acre of ground to build a designed landscape with machinery using GIS technology. Looking at how sand spots and ripples are per-formatively altered over time, we designed a landscape pattern that would be strategically altered over 18 months.

A bulldozer is typically a tractor-like machine having a blade mounted on a frame that extends forward of the tractor body of the bulldozer. the blade is used to push dirt or other objects that need to be moved. The blade can be moved up and down slightly relative ot the body to compensate for slopes and other irregularities in the ground. However, a bulldozer is limited to pushing dirt or the like along the ground.

Backhoes are used in many roles, not only in construction, but anywhere digging is required. The exibility of backhoes is staggering, with dif-ferent types of attachments numbering in the hundreds.

The XT870 Backhoe Loader is a kind of the multi-functional engineering machinery incorporating excavating and loading into an organic whole. It adopts the advanced static hydraulic transmission and popular integral structure overseas with the following advantages the complete ma-chine is rationally distributed and compact. It is widely used in municipal administration, the construction of projects such as the building, the oil eld, water conservancy, the forest farm, the military project and so on. It also can be used in excavating, carrying and leveling and carry on the exible and swift homework to scrap heap and waste residue of the large and medium-sized enterprise. It is the ideal model of realizing a machine with multi-functions.The stability of performance and traveling has been improved by means of the highest speed, the small turning radius and adoption of integral frame. In addition, single pump supports oil and the hydraulic steering system make the system artic pressure reach 21 Mpa, which has im

-proved the performance ability of the complete machine. The highest speed reaches 40.2km/h, which has improved the production efciency of the complete machine.

The Council Bluffs Riverfront Project explores the current applications for the preservation, design and management of both natural and constructed landscapes within an 85-acre flood site along the Missouri Rivers edge of Council Bluffs, Iowa. By expanding a running bond pattern, allocating a 6 acre green space, planning a resilient vegetation system, incorporating hiking and biking trails, opening aquatic and beach access, and fostering a mutual relationship between building and site ecology, the sites capacity for resilience lies in the strategic design of its organizational systems and logics that enable it to absorb and facilitate change yet maintain its design sensibility. On site, the American Land Museum is a 13,000sf major built component that creates a dynamic contemporary portrait composed of the national land-scape itself. The Riverfront project amalgamates the relationship between site and building design and ecological and cultural systems.

1. Site BalanceThe proposed location of the American Land Museum serves as a medium between the sites north and south ends, between land and water, and ultimately between Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska.

2. Stimulating River ViewsDue to previous deforesting, the center of our site is the least dense. This pro-vides us with an opportunity to utilize the views this open space enhances: to the north and south of the site as well as to the river. The American Land Museum ultimately wants to educate citizens on the ecology of the Missouri River; and with a perfect view, this will make their task much easier.

3. Forefronting the River DynamicsThe 100 year flood plane will seep directly in our proposed plot for the ALM, however without flooding the actual muse-um. The location of the ALM is at a high point over the open space, but it still embraces the dynamics of the flooding.

10 MINUTE WALKING RADIUSThere are 5 immediate higher learning facilities within a 10-mile walking radius from the site

COLLEGE/UNIVERSITIES WITHIN A 10 MINUTE WALKING RADIUSChicago houses over 80 college and universities in the downtown region. Affordable and conve-nient student housing is much needed.

PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION TO AND FROM SITEThe proposed site is located in the heart of downtown Chicago, making it an easy walk from nearly every amenity.

5 MINUTE WALKING RADIUSAccess to the riverfront usage is provided, yet the existing site neglects this connection.

VEHICULAR CIRCULATION TO AND FROM SITEThe opportunity to have easty access to a vehicle in a bustling city is typically rare. However, easy and convenient Chicago roadways allow for a painless drive to the proposed site.

RAILWAY CIRCULATIONChicagos public transit system is highly efficient and affordable, making it appealing to students. Public transit and railway connect the city from every direction. The El and the public bus stations are less tan one block away from the site.

The Chicago Convergence Student Hostel will create a new community at the gateway to the

Chicago River. The mixed-use scheme is intended to regenerate the site with a sustainable, high

density development for affordable student living; while connecting the riverfront to the city

scape . The scheme brings together a youth hostel and suite style student apartments, as well as

shops and cafes at the base.

10 MINUTE WALKING RADIUSThere are 5 immediate higher learning facilities within a 10-mile walking radius from the site

COLLEGE/UNIVERSITIES WITHIN A 10 MINUTE WALKING RADIUSChicago houses over 80 college and universities in the downtown region. Affordable and conve-nient student housing is much needed.

PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION TO AND FROM SITEThe proposed site is located in the heart of downtown Chicago, making it an easy walk from nearly every amenity.

5 MINUTE WALKING RADIUSAccess to the riverfront usage is provided, yet the existing site neglects this connection.

VEHICULAR CIRCULATION TO AND FROM SITEThe opportunity to have easty access to a vehicle in a bustling city is typically rare. However, easy and convenient Chicago roadways allow for a painless drive to the proposed site.

RAILWAY CIRCULATIONChicagos public transit system is highly efficient and affordable, making it appealing to students. Public transit and railway connect the city from every direction. The El and the public bus stations are less tan one block away from the site.

Capturing and using water that naturally falls on the site is one step closer to a system that mimics nature, which recycles water within local systems many times before it runs back to the river.

Toilet-flushing is one of the most water-intensive activities in the modern home which is why using rainwater for this purpose can have a dramatic effect on reducing the demand for municipally supplied drinking water.

Tower Cores / Circulation The concrete cores serve as major supports for the towers. They are the only constant vertical force which in turn makes every floor plan unique.

Floor PlatesThe floor area at the top of the tower is less than half the size of the ground floor space. The buildings taperd form guarantees structural stability and efficient use of space.Total Area = 145,011 square feet

Mullion System Double Pane, Low E Glazed Glass Windows StructureDiagonal bracing runs through the floor slabs to create an extremely simple and structurally efficient system.

Human beings have a history of landscape alteration. The natural world is transformed by industry, particularly those that extract raw materials and resources from the land. The Lyceum Competition asked participating schools to question what happens when industry leaves substantial marks on the earth. The SPLIT project was a building complex for the institution devoted primarily to visual, literary, landscape and performing artists; engaging the site in a significant way. The program was separated, pulled, lifted, isolated, and taken (SPLIT) from one another, symbolizing the separation of the granite from the quarry. The project does not seek to bury itself in the environment, but rests as an ephemeral onlooker. A further tectonic review of the building illuminated the building envelope, structural system, code system, and HVAC system design.

Cornerstone Chapel was built in 1961. After 47 years of occupancy, the building became unoccupied in 2008. The Cornerstone Church building will play a central role in the Newman Center- St. Thomas Aquinas Churchs broader campus ministry expan-sion plans. The site will serve as a temporary relocation facility for the Newman Centers staff and missionaries. Cornerstone Church is highly inefficient and costly to operate. Collaborating with construction management majors, our team proposed a renovation plan to meet the desire of the client, Father Matya, and the community that will inhabit it. The primary goal of this renovation was to dramatically enhance the efficiency of the Cornerstone Chapel through careful analysis of the existing build-ing envelope as well as the heating and ventilation system. It was determined that these components could be renovated and/or replaced to produce a highly efficient, LEED applicable building.

S T U D Y A B R O A D An old Greek legend says that when God created the world, he sifted all the soil onto the earth through a strain-er. After every country had good soil, he tossed the stones left in the strainer over his shoulder and created Greece. Now continuously inhabited for over 7,000 years, Greece is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, political science, Western literature, historiography, major mathematical principles, and Westen theories of tragedy and comedy. It is also home to some of the worlds most prolific sculpture and architecture- much of which sits in ruins. My time immersed in the Greek culture offered me a life changing opportunity to explore preservation at its highest importance and the opportunity to first hand engage in Greek architecture, both past and present

The studio art minor provides students with visual means of creative expression to expand, enhance and refine the skills and knowledge essential to develop the powers of critical analysis. I pursued an art history minor to enhance my visual skills even further. It has been debated that architecture is progressing toward solely computer modeling. However, hand drawing and painting is a raw passion that helps me sketch early design ideas, that gained me my first commission, that drove me to study abroad in Greece to study the ancient art and architecture, and that I hope will only benefit my future career as a designer. In the fall of 2012 I was hired as a teaching assistant for speculative drawing, furthering not only my passion for art; but also giving me the opportunity to help first year students realize the importance that hand craft will have in their careers as designers.

Organization: MBH Architecture, Restaurant StudioLocation: Alameda, CAYear: Summer 2012

Last summer, I had the privilege of interning at MBH Architecture, a 200 person firm outside of San Franciso, California. I spent three months interning in the Restaurant Studio, working with the project manager on multiple Yard House Restaurants and a Patxis Pizza Restaurant. My tasks varied from writing response letters, collating and shipping permit submittals, red lining construction documents, preparing material boards for clients, making site visits, or modeling in Revit or AutoCad. Outside of the office, I really enjoyed taking part in MBHs community involvement projects, such as the San Francisco Aids Walk and Habitat for Humanity.
