PlusFarm Summer Studio (2013)
Perrysburg, NY
A seven-day immersive summer studio to design and build an architectural installation to serve the local community of farmers in Perrysburg, Upstate New York. The idea was to create a contemplative object that would bring man and nature together in a farm estate.
Twelve participants were selected worldwide through portfolio and letter of intent submission. Anchored in design driven digital tools and framework, the group performed site analysis, produced sketches and built several models, ultimately leading to the construction of a wood pavilion operating as a viewpoint and shelter on top of a hill.
