hay house

researching urban agriculture I came across an article discussing the storage of hay within a number of homes throughout the city. I was very interested in the shift in program and how in a certain sense it referenced the "urban camouflage" that matt and I had spoke about earlier. Its new program, storage, results from a basic availability and meets the needs of whatever is being stored, in this case the necessity of keeping the hay dry. With new objects come new configurations and also tools. I am also exploring the possibility for an architecture that could precipitate new growth such as a structure consisting of garden hoses. such a project could situate itself somewhere in between the suburban and agrarian.
