TABLE OF CONTENTS
2 | |Kichwa Añangu Community Plan Summer 2010
Ecuador 2010In the summer of 2010, I traveled group of students in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Planning fields to work with Verde Mileneo on a service project within the Amazon Jungle. The project was to help scattered rural villagers create a new community plan. The community needed to bring together jungle residents, set up community gathering areas and educational facilities. The community is located within the Napo Wildlife Center and needed to be conscious of it’s precious surroundings during the planning and construction processes.
Kichwa Añangu Community Plan
3 | |Graduate Portfolio Elizabeth Hawks
The Kichwa Añangu community was involved in the design process regularly. The group would have meetings and present to the community members and they would give feedback as to what they liked or wanted to see change.
After the initial design processes, the design continued to be developed with Kichwa leaders, members of the Verde Mileneo team and UNL students.
The comprehensive plan is currently being constructed by local community members, including the original housing plan developed by my partner and I.

Final Design Layout
5 | | Elizabeth HawksGraduate Portfolio
A parter and I were assigned the housing development of the comprehensive plan. In order to get an idea of daily life for the community and traditional housing construction, we toured some of the rural huts lodges. We were able to see the variety of building styles as well as construction materials and methods. These tours ,as well as interviews with community members, informed most of our design.
Once a the basic unit was laid out (based on the basic need from the homes we toured), we designed the organic community flow. Each unit has access to smaller public areas for families and to the road connecting all of the units. Central to the housing is the traditional gathering space.
During construction, the surrounding jungle will be as protected as possible, creating privacy between most of the units.

6 | | Spring 2010Market Gallery
Market | GalleryAn artist-in-residency program is often in need of a secondary program in order to gain community support and recognition as well as for the artists to be able to support themselves during their stay.
This program, situated on land north of Lincoln, NE, combines the art program with a small CSA farm and market. This program is able to provide work for the artists and invites volunteers from the community to work the land as well.

Activity
The gallery and market are split via an alley through the building. They are seperated but have similar ways to circiulate as well as the way people interact with what is being displayed. Because of the similarities, the circulation is able to continue from one build-ing to the next without a major adjustment for the visitorsv
market
gallery
Visual Blocks
Concrete walls to the north of the building create a neutral fore-ground to help focus the attention through the building towards the sculpture lawn and artist studios.
When inside of the building, open areas and glazed walls facing the south of the site open up the views towards the studio anchor of the site. An open end of the market open up sites towards the farm while walls in the gallery focus attention on the art displayed
Shading
Shading for each section is made to create or block certain lighting for the activity held within. The market structure is shaded to block light from above and evening light. This keeps the interiors cool for the market visitors but allows ample light to come in from the east and flood the open market area.
The gallery space needs a more even, diffuse light for best lighting the artwork. There is a perforated screen to proved some shading and a frosted glass ceiling to further even out the light in the rooms below.
Traffic Drection
The building is shaped to lead traffic through both the farmers marekt and the gallery so visitors get to experience both aspects of the community. It is meant to lead visitors across the opening which directs attention towards the studios which house the heart and life of the site. (the artists)

Studio Placement: based on views from the public zone as well as limited access from the public zone so visitors are not tempted to intrudue on the artists’ privacey
The artists are the anchors of the com-pound. They work the farm, produce art for the galleries and are the thriving factor of the entire place. For that reason the studios become a focal point for the rest of the site. The public is physically separatedfrom the studios by the water on site but from the entrance into the first building, they see down the hill with a direct view of the studios. The artists maintain privacy from intrud-ers but the visitors still get a glimps of what is going on in the background of this site. The artists may also ben-efit from seeing the public in the distance enjoying art created by fellow artists and resident predecessors.

Lines are anchored at the studios and rotated to create organizing lines for the buildings and circulation on site
The guiding lines in the public zone are spread to create an open space, becoming the circulation anddirection for the public zone. The guiding line for the private zone creates a line for the buildings to be placed.

Elizabeth Hawks / Studio: Day / Arch 331 / May 5, 2010
Including a CSA farm, artist-in-residency units and a sculpture lawn and trail system, this program was a group project on a 160-acre site Northwest of Lincoln, Nebraska. My contribution to the project was to design the mixed-use farmers market and art gallery for the site. The building would be a public entrance to the site which would show the food produced becomes a part of the art showing in itself. The building also includes a cafe area with tables and gathering spaces.
The design is based on a zig-zag circulation through the site to give full views of the garden and artist units as well as access to the walking trail.

Urban Growth CentersDistributing Lincoln GrowthLincoln, Nebraska is expecting a significant amount of growth over the next 40 years. The goal for this project was to create a growth plan for the city that would be sustainable and have all environmental factors in mind.
My partner for this project [Ryan G. Hier] and I were given the specific task to consider housing and where the majority of this growth population would be located.

In order to preserve Lincoln and prevent unstable sprawl conditions, we suggested a majority of the growth population should be concentrated within the bedroom communities that surround the capital city. This plan would insure a more dense condition, helping to curb sprawl as well as to keep autonomy for those separate communities.
Looking at the individual communities, the idea is to keep a tight city boundary that would create a dense living condition similar to that within downtown Lincoln.
The growth centers would then be planned so that key areas within the site would act as filtration pools. The ponds would act as recreation sites as well as areas for water to be filtered naturally before entering back into the main water system.
An expansive green space system would encircle the filtration ponds. This would not only serve as further water filtration, but would act as necessary community parks within the new dense housing developments.

Breaking the model of school typologiesStarting with an exploration into the “typical” American school designs and a breakdown of these models, I designed a middle school that would break from traditional designs in order to benefit both students and the residents of surrounding neighborhoods who would be able to utilize more public aspects of the design.

The Current Oil BoomDue to high global oil prices, new methods of oil extractions are becoming viable. Right now, the biggest boom in the country is happening in rural Western North Dakota.
The small towns within this oil boom are benefiting, financially, from the exploding population growth, but are unable to keep up with other aspects of growth. Utilities, infrastructure and community moral are difficult to upkeep and the town fears what may happen when the oil boom is over.

To begin finding the main issue within this extreme condition I looked at environments, social, financial and political aspects of this boom. The main aspect that stuck out of articles and planning issues was that of housing development within the Host city of Williston, ND. Williston is the largest city in the Northwest of North Dakota and the only city with over 2000 permanent residents within 100 miles.
Housing prices are extremely inflated in this boom area and, in order to protect the town from the boom aftermath, the city’s comprehensive plan will only account for 70% of the expected population growth.
My intervention, then is to create a housing development for the outskirts of the host city. This development will create housing for the many support workers the city needs during an oil boom as well as public programming areas to create a community that brings together permanent and transient populations.
The new development will account for 15% of the peak growth within one site and will be located on the edge of the planned growth area. Locating the community on the edge, and in an easily accessible area will make sure the area is useful and, when the time comes to dismantle, it will not create a dead zone within the host city.

Large community programming activities are put into place for both residential and city-wide use.
Post Boom: The units are taken away as needed, leaving a framework and public units for community use.
Parts of the framework are taken away to leave the host city with what is in use. The rest may go back to a natural state.
Residential units are laid into place and stacked around community areas.

Skagway, Alaska Sparrows Point, MarylandThe Klondike gold rush began in 1896 with the discovery of gold along the Klondike River. Skagway, Alaska became a busy port
described as “lawless.” John Muir described the town as, “a nest of ants taken into a strange country and stirred up by a stick.” As the gold mines emptied, the town dwindled. It is now home to 800 year-round residents and has become a popular tourist stop for cruise ships in the summer.
Baltimore, Maryland, in it’s prime, was unmatched in the variety of industries which made the town so successful. The peninsula of Sparrows Point became a ship hard and steel plant for Bethlehem Steel in 1889. The plant was the largest in the world. On the same peninsula, housing was set up for workers at the plant and were separated based on race and type of worker. Row houses were for plant workers while larger individual family homes housed managers and their families. The company town also had
dwindled. The homes began to be demolished in the 1970’s, leaving behind only the industrial buildings which continued work until the early 200’s when Bethlehem Steel went under.
Battlement Mesa, ColoradoOriginally, oil was found in Colorado in the 1970’s by Colony Oil Company. The area was then sold to Exxon Mobile, who immediately began development on a $5 Million company town. In 1982, oil prices dropped steeply and suddenly. Exxon shut
demolition until the area became popular for retirees. It is now a 3200 acre home owners association for mostly retirees. In 2010 the census was recorded at 4,471 people.
Bodie, Californiathe area in 1876 by Standard Co. By 1879, the mining town was home to 5,000 to 7,000 miners and over 2,000 buildings. Gold production in the area brought in nearly $34 million and was shipped to nearby Carson City, Nevada for processing. The main drag was only a mile long, and home to over 65 saloons at on point. By 1913, the gold mine was dry and closed down. The town was emptied shortly thereafter, becoming what it still stands as today, a ghost town. Bodie became a national historic landmark and 170 buildings still remain as an image of what a gold rush town used to be.
