The idea for the use of the existing site and structure of the Omaha silos is to transform it into a vital mixed use facility. The facility will integrate the current rock climbing center with retail and offices and an apartment tower. The focus of my work this semester will concentrate on the apartments.

This week I have created a series of diagrams about the site and structure. I will include a diagram of the uses of the building structure, highlighting the separation of the rock climbing, retail, and apartments.

This blog will be a place where I can share my design ideas with others. I'm hoping to update this on a weekly basis to update people who may be interested in potential uses for the enormous grain elevator in Omaha.
