State [Fair] Park: Nebraska Vernacular, Andrew Charles Peterson
State [Fair] Park: Nebraska Vernacular, Andrew Charles Peterson
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
Each year the Nebraska State Fair comes and goes; however, the abandoned fairgrounds remain causing a void in Lincoln’s urban fabric. This project proposes a remedy to the fairground’s wavering between programmatic solidity and impermanence by redeveloping and renaming the site. The new State [Fair] Park will function as a park for 51 weeks out of the year and a fair for one. The result is a recreational nucleus for the city of Lincoln showcasing Nebraska’s historically agricultural economy and character. State [Fair] Park is designed according to “a single, unifying ideal”—to showcase Nebraska’s farmland vernacular.1 Utilizing this principle during …
Interpreting A Divide: Developing An Interpretative Center Along The Continental Divide, Kurt Cisar
Interpreting A Divide: Developing An Interpretative Center Along The Continental Divide, Kurt Cisar
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
The design project entails the integration of the arts and sciences to create an educational center for the public to learn about the Continental Divide and the surrounding ecosystem. The intention is to design a building that exhibits an expression of its adaptability to climactic conditions and plays an interactive role in how one perceives the surrounding environment. The mixing of both art and science will allow for the building to become a viewing device that will adapt to the site’s multiple elements in a manner that can induce a clear educational environment. Both disciplines will converge on a common …
Camp Cedars Discovery Center, Boy Scouts Of America, Robert A. Soukup
Camp Cedars Discovery Center, Boy Scouts Of America, Robert A. Soukup
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
I am proposing to design a learning/activities center for the Boy Scouts of America. In Nebraska, one of the major BSA campgrounds is Camp Cedars, located approximately three miles northeast of Cedar Bluffs. Every year scout troops from all over Nebraska meet at Camp Cedars to participate in one of six weekly sessions during the months of June and July. The facilities are used by Cub Scouts, ages 7-11 years, as well as by Boy Scouts, ages 11-17. The current facilities within the camp include: manager offices, a quartermaster’s barn, a swimming pool, a cafeteria hall, an archery range, a …
Digital / Physical Consumption: A Mixed-Use Prescription For An Innovative Urban Mall, David Warner
Digital / Physical Consumption: A Mixed-Use Prescription For An Innovative Urban Mall, David Warner
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
A key component missing from many urban cores is an established retail hub. This displacement of retail, shadowing the economic tendency towards sprawl, has robbed the downtown of its vitality. In order to reinstall the appeal that downtowns once possessed, my objective as both an optimist and realist is to suggest the reestablishment of downtown as a place for diverse interaction. In accordance, I am proposing a mixed-use retail mall for the urban domain. I intend to define and design a mixed-use project on a block in downtown Omaha. The project location, in proximity to the new convention center, will …
Multi-Generational Housing: A New Model For Residential Design In The 21st Century, Cory Naegele
Multi-Generational Housing: A New Model For Residential Design In The 21st Century, Cory Naegele
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
The project suggests a new typology for the family home and neighborhood, one flexible enough to adapt to the variety of needs a family will encounter. The home should be able to transform alongside the transformations in the family structure. The idea is to design a single-family home constructed of mobile, interlocking and interchangeable “kit-of-parts.” These parts would have the ability to be easily assembled, rearranged, or sold to a neighbor. Development is intended for a site in the Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. The townhouse design uses prefabricated exterior walls, based on a 4’ grid system, which can …
The Everyday: Chicago River Transit Station, Ryan Watson
The Everyday: Chicago River Transit Station, Ryan Watson
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
There are over 150 miles of Chicago River system connecting North Shore suburbs to south side Calumet. This project focuses on a prototypical initial site for an expanding network of water taxi stations reaching to the city’s edges and beyond. The selected site for the proposed water taxi station lies south of Wolf Point, the confluence of the north and south branches of the Chicago River. The proposal considers the site as part of a single approach to reactivation, redevelopment, and remediation. The system will serve riders from the Loop to as far as Joliet, Illinois. The program will adapt …

This project, ag80, is meant to revive the heritage and promote awareness of the importance of agriculture within the state. The lack of awareness is especially widespread in urban areas, where people may have never seen or experienced a farm. Targeting the urban areas and their lack of awareness will begin to spread the knowledge and understanding of the importance of agriculture to the state. Two of the largest urban centers in Nebraska, Omaha and Lincoln, are located approximately 60 miles apart on Interstate-80. This serves as an appropriate location to promote and highlight some of Nebraska’s agriculture. The goal …
Ragged Point Sky City, Matthew J. Glawatz
Ragged Point Sky City, Matthew J. Glawatz
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
The project proposes a design for an ecologically conceived high-rise superstructure to house 100,000 residents on the California coastline along Highway 1, approximately 110 miles southwest of Fresno. It is presented as an example of Archology, a fusion of architecture and ecology aimed at achieving a completely sustainable built environment that will benefit both mankind and nature. The project will utilize residential, commercial, utilitarian, service, municipal, and entertainment components in a self-sustaining and environmentally beneficial manner. Mentor: Ted A. Ertl

Memorial Stadium: Expansion, Renovation, Addition, Aaron Terpening
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
The Memorial Stadium project will investigate the current conditions of facilities, study existing programs with regard to renovation and modification, and establish capacities for expansion. The project necessitates knowledge of sports facilities and the specific needs of the football program. This may involve research into the need of individuals ranging from the players themselves to the coaches, and ultimately the fans as well. The result will lead to a program which provides excellent solutions to the found needs. It is assumed that these needs will include updated training, locker room, and medical facilities for the athletes. Other programs include offices …

Canteen Cultural Event Center, North Platte, Nebraska , Stephen P. Granger
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
The project consists of designing a cultural event center to be located in the original Historic District of downtown North Platte, Nebraska. The project will be a redevelopment of a previous redevelopment project completed in the 70’s. The event center will be designed around the existing Canteen Monument. It is this location that over six million service men and women were greeted and served free coffee, milk, cigarettes, candy bars and several other items as well. The cultural events center will house offices to fulfill economic development and tourism for the city of North Platte. The cultural events center must …

Field City Vs. Flexibuild, Benjamin R. Brabec
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
The project proposes a flexible module design for downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. It seeks to fill in urban gaps and reactivate a downtown area, dominated by wide streets, open lots, and and 2 to 3 story buildings. There is an abundance of open gray space used mainly for parking (22,600 stalls). Modular construction systems, common in exhibition and fair designs, are employed; these can be altered and arranged to accommodate changing situations. The base module is 9 x 18 feet, based on the size of a parking stall. It can be subdivided and equipped with glass, solid infill, shading, seating, boxes, …
