This semester the Architecture Program is celebrating the second year of Design Research and Fabrication grants. The grants program supports faculty design and fabrication interests to create, develop and communicate their research that will contribute to the academic and professional discourse. This initiative enables faculty to engage in architectural research and creative projects predicated on research and fabrication. Since the program's inception, four faculty have received funding which has supported five courses and numerous student learning opportunities.
Timberlyne Group - Sand Creek Post & Beam, Design Research and Fabrication grant
- Jeffrey L. Day, “Solar Mass Timber Bus Shelters & Bike Sheds for the UNL & Beyond”
- Jason Griffiths, “CURVED CLT-BLIND”
- Michael Harpster and Sarah Karle, “Rural Possibilities for Mass Timber Design: A Collaborative Design Research Partnership"
Nebraska Masonry Alliance, Design Research and Fabrication grant
- David Newton, “Sustainability in Robotic Masonry Construction”
I encourage you to talk with the faculty and students enrolled in these courses about their experiences.
Have a great week! -David Karle

Forty years ago, the art historian Albert Elsen asked, "Why do we teach our students the engineering and iconography of Gothic cathedrals, but not why they should be preserved?"[1] This spring, I am teaching a seminar class addressing Elsen's provocative question by informing students of the ongoing efforts to protect cultural heritage. Building upon the Smarthistory At-risk Cultural Heritage Education Series, the course explores threats to tangible and intangible heritage around the globe.[2] Protecting endangered heritage is an interdisciplinary concern. This professional practice seminar course also incorporates expert views from design, planning, archeology, art history, political science, law and not-for-profits working to preserve evidence of human creativity. For example, students in the course will visit the National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center to meet with archeologists working across our state. To learn more about protecting cultural heritage, please visit the Smarthistory ARCHES resource!
