The Crib at Strathmore - an Enviresponsible Shelter June 30, 2012

Broadhurst Architects has designed this prototype building with sustainable and recyclable materials that can be fabricated off site then transported and quickly assembled where desired. This new building, The Crib, takes its basic form from traditional American corn cribs, which were common farm buildings that served to store and dry corn. However, here the form is realized as a more sophisticated kit of parts. In addition, Strathmore's current Fine Artists in Residence will use the space as a visual arts studio to create new work, a lab to demonstrate their medium for visitors, and a gallery to display finished pieces.
