2013: Summer Studio Open Call. The project for this year’s weeklong intensive design and construction workshop is to build a cabin for the Hunter and the Artist. During the week participants are introduced to emerging design processes through hands-on construction. Away from the confines of an insular indoor studio practice, the team of participants and craftsmen will be able to engage architecture directly, both theoretically and physically on site. This year, the goal of the studio is to explore the programmatic relationship between a Hunter + Artist, and build a cabin for both users on the Five Sisters Farm in Perrysburg, NY.

Perrysburg, NY. FARM Summer Studio.

Seven applicants selected from an open call will work closely with local craftsmen and practicing professionals on site, developing practical, technological, and presentational skills. They will work together as a team to cultivate ideas critical to the overall form of the project. As a part of the entire design and build process, participants will learn how to build a structure from ground up and partake in collaborative design. Consideration of the rural location of the Five Sisters Farm and negotiation with the real world complexities of this site are crucial to the realization of each participant’s design ideas. The team will present their ideas to a local public audience, develop the design content, and engage in all aspects of the construction.
