RURAL STUDIO
15
Through the research into the class’s diet as well as regional cooking and farming techniques, “We Are What We Eat” was our first step of a much larger project titled The Rural Studio (R)evolution. The (R)evolution was based on the idea of a transition to a “reasonable lifestyle” and the self efficiency of the Studio. To achieve these goals the Rural Studio saw the need for a farm as a means of cultivating not only food but also energy, materials, and ideas. The third year studio was then tasked with the development of a farm masterplan for one of the Rural Studio properties. The Farm was divided into three main zones: Growing, consisting of raised plots, a food forest, and structures to allow vines and other vertical growing plants; Work, parking for trailers and a new workshop; and Recreation / Leisure, student living and open space for games.

Through a critique of the Western diet, which was titled “We Are What We Eat” the third year studio took an in depth look at the production an distribution of food. Through the research to develop “What We Eat” the Studio made the decision to use the Farm as a means to produce 70% of it’s own food intake.
