The Kiewit Luminarium, a beacon on Omaha’s revitalized riverfront, is a testament to the fusion of science, art, and human perception. This innovative community space invites exploration through interactive displays and engaging exhibits. Its aluminum façade illuminates the riverfront at night, while its warm, inviting interior fosters a sense of community among diverse audiences. The building’s form and materials speak to the natural oxidation process and reference agricultural buildings in the region. The design team’s commitment to creating an inclusive, hands-on learning environment has resulted in a space that not only inspires a lifelong interest in STEM but also serves as a vital cultural amenity for Omaha, demonstrating the power of design to shape educational spaces and revitalize urban landscapes.
