gah! studio is going QUICK this semester. we are already over halfway done with our third project and we still have so much to do to get this done and at a state that would be ready to possibly present to the lincoln development board and/or city council. plus we still have our final project after this that we'll only get a couple weeks to work on. i originally liked toms plan to move fast and do a variety of projects, but i think 4 full-scale projects is a little too much for one semester. oh well, nothing to do now but get it done and move on.
our latest studio project is a redesign/rethink of the pershing auditorium in lincoln, ne. my group and i have gone about thinking of the building for its available public land that it occupies, as opposed to its current function as a crappy auditorium. our plan right now, is to redevelop the pershing as a business park/showcase center to showcase nebraska and agri-business companies' design in new products, designs, and technology to the general public. office blocks will be added onto the sides of the pershing with the central arena will be opened up and turned into an indoor/outdoor public park/recreation area with the public showrooms of the offices on the other side opening onto the area. right now we are still working on the concrete program and design, as we are trying to create something that is innovative and shows off the high-design look that we are trying to sell, as well as create a interesting and thought-provoking experience for the visitors of the general public. we are hoping for an area of business as well as (in nates words) "party time"
second draft concept sketch
new proposal (third draft, first model)
in this new form of the model i am trying to go for a dynamic form but also
a very machine aesthetic to symbolize the agricultural industry that will
inhabit the buildings.
