Here's another architectural blog from Tom:
Red Barn Gallery
Red Barn Gallery
How about a change?
Rather than bashing architects and complaining about all of the bad
architecture out there, how about featuring one that is positive and good? This one, in my humble opinion, fits the bill
– the Red Barn Gallery located in Marquette, Nebraska.
Part of a 40-acre arts district, the Red Barn Gallery will
serve as the public entry point and interpretive center for an Art Farm – an
artist residency program that provides studio space in exchange for labor on an
ongoing project on the farm. The barn has
been salvaged and moved to its new site.
The project is still in the fund raising stage of the project, and has
been since 2005. But the end goal is to
masterfully restore and repurposed the barn for its new use. Construction will be a collaborative effort
of the architects, resident artists, and the Art Farm staff. Here are some great pictures of the project that
I cribbed from both the architect’s and Art Farm’s websites.
