FARM HOUSE

Second Year - Studio - Clark Thenhaus

All three projects “Farm House”, “Beach House” and “Desert House” are part of a series that shares a commentary on the relationship between Architecture and Nature.

The Farm House is a reflection on when nature takes over architecture. Here, a parasite has infected the natural landscape and the environment has chosen to fight back by breaking down the structure's typology. With our constantly changing environment architecture will either succumb to nature or fight back through reflection.

This project began with an ordinary depiction of a farmhouse and an unknown created object. Through intersection the two objects battle for dominance.

Architecture at its core has two simple purposes. One is to create a visual landscape that sparks wonder inside the viewer, while the other is to respect and provide benefits to the ecosystem where it is built.

I graduated from California College of the Arts studying architecture. I am highly interested in material science, chemical engineering and the manipulation of existing materials through innovative fabrication processes. The future I see is not only formally and functionally beautiful but sustainable, efficient and accessible. We must challenge the possibilities of "now".
