Mechology

Mechology, designed as an expansion to the Yale farm, explores the intersection between futurism and ecology; two forces which once were opposites, but are now interwoven. The spiraling gesture of the mass blends ecological sensitivity and mechanical tempo, reflecting the farm’s potential mechanized future.
