One up, one down: architecture, plants, and animals

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The exploration of two buildings for the use by plants and animals incorporating similar structuring and checking devices. A vertical field for the cultivation of crops and a fiberglass "Barn" for livestock confinement are discussed in terms of each other, in terms of farms and farming historically, and in terms of farms and their relationship to the development of the church cloister. Each of the discussion categories function as checking and direction devices to support the projects development. A selection of drawings, investigation papers and photographs visualizing the two projects are also included.
