The Nebraska Lecture, scheduled for April 14, will feature Jeffrey L. Day, FAIA, Professor of Architecture. Day’s lecture, “House-ing,” will be provided in-person at the Nebraska Union, Swanson Auditorium, at 3:30 p.m., followed by a live moderated Q&A. Reception in Regency Suite to follow lecture.
The house has long been the site for testing new architectural ideas and ways of living, but it is also a contested realm intersecting social conflict, access and financial inequity. This lecture explores the house as a site for experimentation and crisis and focuses on potential opportunities and solutions.
Featuring specific houses from refined custom homes to affordable housing prototypes, the talk considers the house not only as a private realm but also as the foundation for community. The visually engaging presentation, geared toward a broad audience, showcases projects designed by the speaker’s award-winning practice Actual Architecture Company as well as his UNL student workshop FACT including the NEw Attainable House, the Core ADU, the Wanaka Wedge House and
others in U.S. and abroad. The talk concludes with OurStory, a project that asks, “how do we want to live as we age?” and offers one of a set of potential solutions for the housing crisis.
The Nebraska Lectures: Chancellor’s Distinguished Lecture Series features presentations by distinguished university faculty. In collaboration with the Office of Research and Innovation, the Research Council established this lecture series in 2003.
