    About the Book

    Edit

    Black’s Heritage Farm is a fifth generation farm located south of Ames, Iowa. The farm was once an active seed drying facility integrated into Iowa’s inherited landscape. Inspired by the regional configuration, the reoccupation of the space studies atmospheric logic and the past character of the farm. The specific spatial conditions in which the work is situated offers a site of unprecedented visual and physical experience. When entering, the distinctive spatial qualities allow individual senses to be heightened and perceptions challenged. The study considers the impact of consumerism and the consequences that the demands for food have had on the farm operations in rural Iowa. Human temptation to over consume has caused the industrialization of farming, resulting in the collapse of many small farms. The consumer demands created the need to preserve foods for longer periods of time. Food has become genetically modified to assist in the preservation to fulfill the needs of consumers. This farm’s heritage has left a desire to study spatial phenomenon to represent the understanding of the farm through the act of making.
