Fall 2022

Cultivating Urban Wellness: The Challenge
How do we design urban interior nature-influenced spatial experiences considering culture, values, and resiliency while promoting education, growth, and equitable access to healthy food?

Fostering Biophilic Spaces: Vision and Objectives
The goal of this project is to create a biophilic interior environment through preservation, restoration, and connectivity. This reimagined interior will become a hub for collaboration, exploration, and healthy living. It will promote inclusivity and provide a culturally rich environment with accessibility for all. Community members will be encouraged to participate and explore through various methods and activities related to healthy food.

Restoration and Community Engagement: The Market Framework
The existing building will be restored, serving as the framework for the public market while maintaining the characteristics of the Historic Haymarket in Lincoln, NE. Herbs will be grown year-round in the greenhouse, nourishing the community through the programmatic spaces below. Kiosks will offer short-term rentals for small local businesses, acting as a trial run for a leasing option within the market.
