ACSA Competition Entry: Delivering Second Chances 5

Located at 21st and N streets in Lincoln, Nebraska, this project addresses the lack of homeless family housing. This site currently belongs to Lincoln City Missions distribution center where homeless and working poor come to gather items of need (like food, clothing, etc.) for free. The design incorporates both functions as a mixed-use building with the equivalent of retail and community space on the ground floor and residential above.

Main Corridor with Undulating Mailbox Wall Looking East

Community Gathering Space

In partnership with Peoples City Mission, this project examines the re-design of the current Distribution Center as well as the addition of housing for Homeless Families. The Ground Floor consists of Administrative spaces where the Distribution Center users must check-in, the Shopping Center where the homeless and work-ing poor may collect free items ranging from food to fur-niture and clothing, and the Sorting and Storage Area where donations are left and sorted through. In the main corridor for the Distribution Center are 300 mail-boxes that serve as the provision of a permanent ad-dress for the homeless. This allows for the collection of basic American priveleges that become a challenge without an address (like collection of social security or opening a back account). The top four floors contain 72 apartments for homeless families. Each family housing floor includes two community gathering areas and four community laundry rooms. This project fills the need for family housing. It also redevelops the Distribution Center (which is currently housed in an old car dealership). The Distribution Center creates a bright, warm, safe place for homeless and working poor to gather. The Family Apartments fill a gap in homeless housing. They provide an indepen-dent style living situation needed to learn the responsi-blities for society re-entrance, but within a supportive highly interactive and helpful community setting.

Children learn through observation and interaction, which is why the atrium is ringed by a continuous ramp with community nodes with an atrium open to below. The shipping containers provide a cost effective and environmental answer to a quick construction variable living space condition. The entire building is designed around the concept of passive heating/cooling to help the building operate at low cost.

Saving EnergyNo Second Chances for the Environment Unlike the second chances for the homeless and the steel, our environment gets only one chance. Once lost the envi-ronment will be lost forever. That is why this building uses passive solar heatig and cooling in its public and open spaces (like the atrium and sun room). It is an energy efficient and environmentally responsible way to heat and cool the bui-dling. This project concerns itself with both the homeless people of Lincoln, NE and their environment. It is our responsi-bility to take care of both.

Lyceum Fellowship Competition Entry 7

The Lyceum Fellowship Competition is a yearly invitation only competition for a traveling scholarship. This year the site is the decommissioned Wells-Lamson Granite Quarry in Barre, Vermont. The requested program consisted of twelve artists residences for the disciplines of landscape, visual, performing, and literary artists as well as studio spaces. An education pavilion and memorial were also incorporated.

1. Textile Pre-Filter : eliminates sediment 2. Polyester Filter : eliminates bacteria3. Iodine Coated Beads : kills parasites and 99.3% of all bacteria and virus4. Carbon Filter : kills remaining parasites and pathogens, improves taste

Passive Water Filtration

1. Cold water is introduced at the bottom of the solar heating tube.2. Solar rays warm the water and convection pulls the water to the top of the unit.3. Hot water is then either piped out for direct application 4. or stored in a tank.

Note: This water can be used for applications of direct use and bodily consumption (showering, cooking, drinking, etc.) as well as in a Water Source Heat Pump HVAC system.

Community Infrastructure: Preserving Agriculture and CommunityKittys Community Farm : ARCH211 with Professor Tim Hemsath and

Ra Seung of Oklahoma State University

Kittys Farm is a response to the urban expansion of Omaha, Nebraska. The project began with a week long BigXII Fellowship project focused on process through moments. The concept explored a singular site observation, abstraction, and spatial solution. The explored moments were the variety of doors on the barns and their movement. The process progressed from figure ground abstractions to three dimensional objects, and ended with a spatial addition to the barn.

The barn becomes a community garden and education center preserving rural identity in the midst of urban expansion. The final design contains a community kitchen, gathering area, and space for educational uses which encourage and preserve the traditional values and agricultural way of Nebraska life.

Material Identity: Concrete Pedestal16ARCH410 with Professor Chris Ford

The introduction to the 410 Tectonic Studio considered an in depth study of the identity of concrete. The pedestal had to be 40 in height and incorporate concrete in a stereotomic, atetctonic, or tectonic way. My atectonic design considered concrete as a light, feminine material that carries the ability to act both in compression and tension. The pedestal was completed in a single pour based upon hand sketches.

*Resulted in a 2012 NCAA Scholarship

A one week mini probe is an in depth exploration of a concept that manifests itself in a designed object to aid architectural investiga-tion. My study of the concept of layering with specific attention to grain and strata culminated in the creation of a small wooden sculpture.

Mini-Probe: Identity, Dialogue, and Layers 17ARCH410 with Professor Chris Ford

Layer : Something that can be examined alone but belongs to a larger whole. Each individual Layer can be examined alone, and data can be extracted from it, but it is not until the layer is placed as part of the whole and begins to have a dialogue of information with other layers and the observer. It is then that we understand the layer fully.
