Set in a valley in the Black Forest, this farming commune shares a deep routed obsession with the moon and the continuous geometry of circles, fundamental to mechanistic pathways. Premised on the relationship between man and mechanism, the building is a collection of anthropomorphic machines which are maintained, expanded and worshipped by its inhabitants, a mix of ‘romantic’ minds (concerned with aesthetic and overall form) and ‘classical’ minds (concerned with the function of individual parts composing the whole). Towering mirror machines target circular moonlight towards the site, controlling work and play on the farm.

Inspired by the motion and form of agricultural machinery and our growing dependence on it, the components lurch, swing and rotate through a series of interconnected mechanical pathways.
