What Should a Farm Look Like?
Where Form Follows Thermal Comfort
What should a farm look like? Is the permanence of form a way to move forward? As the farmer responds to the rhythm of the seasons, the architect needs to respond to climate and temperature alike. The farm is an inspiration for architects interested in thermal comfort. As an ecological object, a small scale farm depends on participation with the local environment to survive. But at the same time it needs to be quite autonomous. Hopefully new adaptable spaces can shed new light on our thermal comfort and help the existing knowledge sharing activities of the farm. As an architect I won‘t try to solve these issues with technological advancement but with experimental thermal investigation on forms and typologies. So the previously stagnant spaces can inspire a new form of life.
Come here
check it out
the wind has stretched me to a sail
and so I froze,
greeting your garden
with a slow wave
like a checkered curtain that slipped through a window in paris
slowly swimming in the wind.
a statue
a ladder
a place to think
a sceleton
a chewing jaw
a place to wonder
piece by piece you fall apart.
A rail hanging from the ceiling?
A thermal gradient?
A functional wall?
configuration of the house for an artist.
Is it the greenhouse plastic
can you still breathe?
An insulation
or a greenhouse glass?
Is it an opening
or an added layer to the maze
a grid of a obscure feeling.
