Nebraska Masonry Alliance Presents Excellence in Masonry Design Award
The Nebraska Masonry Alliance, in conjunction with AJA Nebraska, presented the Don Littler Excellence in Masonry Design Award to The Clark Enersen Partners of Uncoln for their project, Farm Credit Services of America Corporate Office Building 2 in Omaha, Neb. This project stood out among the entries for its technical design elements and skilled craftsmanship.
The entry description clearly articulates the design intent: "The west fagade is an abstract representation of wind blowing through a wheat field depicted through brick pattern. Two brick colors set at varying depths and orientation achieve this effect. The different depths of brick provide an ever-changing pattern of shadows throughout the day, superimposed over an aerial view of the Midwest topography.
"At times, the shadows create large circular forms, referencing the tracks left by irrigation systems in the agricultural landscape. To create the superimposed circular shadow lines, the fagade is separated into three fields, each with their own unique combination of brick pattern relief. The fagade's angular form further emphasizes the movement of the brick pattern, and also alludes to the shape of a nearby creek. The solidity of brick conveys a sense of permanence and stability that is characteristic of the client's agricultural heritage."
The Nebraska Masonry Alliance would like to thank and congratulate all of the design team at The Clark Enersen Partners for their exceptional work on this project. IMAS
