COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
|
The devastating Nebraska floods of mid-March 2019 ravaged a wide swaths of land along rivers in eastern Nebraska. In the aftermath of this disastrous flooding, residents in numerous communities and farmers in rural areas are faced with difficult decisions about their future. Among the hardest-hit communities is the village of Winslow, located a short distance north of Fremont and about a mile south of the Elkhorn River, which dramatically overflowed. After the flood, Winslow leaders reached out to UNL’s Community and Regional Planning Program and UNL Extension for assistance.
Students and faculty in two Community and Regional Planning Program courses this semester — “Planning Studio,” taught by Professor Gordon Scholz, and “Hazard Mitigation Planning,” taught by Professor Zhenghong Tang and Lecturer Jeff Henson — are focusing on the difficult situation faced by Winslow residents as they consider their future. The faculty and students recognize that recovery from this disaster will be a long-term process, but they are intent on providing early-stage planning assistance that will be helpful at this time.

Our BSD in Architecture is a pre-professional degree program that prepares students for our two-year, first-professional Masters of Architecture, which is required to become a licensed architect. In the pre-professional program in architecture, students learn how to integrate a variety of skills and knowledges in a design project, beginning with ARCH 210, where students learn how to make new architecture out of architecture. What I mean by this is simply that one learns how to make arguments about the space we live in through the language of architecture. One starts by learning the lexicon of architectural principles undergirding those spatial arguments – visual axis, promenade, figure-ground, shape, scale, character and so on – as well as experimental techniques to execute those principles- boolean split, loft, rotate, mirror, extrude, intersect, fillet, copy, etc.

Zachary Tate Porter’s digital model "Topographic Survey of Two Sidewalk Holes" will be included in the upcoming exhibition "Drawing Attention: The Digital Culture of Contemporary Architectural Drawings" at the Roca Gallery in London. The exhibition, curated by Jeremey Ficca, Amy Kulper and Grace La, opens September 18th and will remain on view until January 2020. According to the curators, the exhibition examines "the state of contemporary architectural drawing, revealing its potential to describe so much more than simply the detailing of a building’s construction." More information about the exhibition can be found
