Open House is our largest event of the year, we invite prospective students and their family members to learn more about disciplines in the College of Architecture. This year's event brought over 70 high school students plus parents to better understand the education and day-to-day life in the design fields. Thank you everyone who had a role in making this event such a success!

This week I hope your schedule allows you to attend the second of a series of Material Lab lunch & learn events. Molly Green will be presenting information on
Sensitile products and educate us on light-manipulating materials. Bring your lunch, and we will provide a popcorn bar for you to create your own mix to enjoy. The presentation will be online so we will have a live stream feed and will be meeting in the gallery. This event does count for CEU credits so we welcome professionals and faculty to join. A big “thank you” to Stacy Spale for planning the event.

Students who do not have a pre-architecture degree, such as the BSD, can still pursue a professional degree in architecture at the graduate level. In three years, these students learn all about architecture and the profession in a highly condensed curriculum. The project displayed here is from David Karle’s Arch500, the first core studio of the three-year Master in Architecture Program.
As David describes:
“With a multiplicity of references, the course title ‘project’ may refer to fundamental modes of architectural representation, the mapping of the subject in the larger objective context or a conceptual foray into territory unknown.

Rethinking the familiar is an interesting and important activity. Having just returned from a three week trip to China with students, I have been interested in the students’ conversation about how they had gotten used to doing some simple things differently while on the trip. Some students, once back, embraced certain aspects of what was familiar, having now gained an appreciation for what they may have taken for granted in the past. Other students were expressing a sense of loss at no longer having something familiar that they had come to enjoy and appreciate. It is interesting that I most often hear that from students who went with me to China in the previous years.

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING

Dr. Zhenghong Tang, associate professor of Community and Regional Planning, wrapped-up his current Omaha project “Improving Omaha’s Green Infrastructure Training for Workforces, Students and Residents” this past month. The project was funded by a $67,330 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Urban Waters Program. During the past two years, 2016 to 2018, the project provided an educational component to Omaha’s efforts to improve future management of urban storm water.
