A symbol of connection: A Greenhouse stands, where farming finds its part.

Fabricated for Ann Diener's exhibit "The Invented Land," MOAH, Pacific Standard Time

The Greenhouse takes its form from agricultural memory: a classical gabled silhouette, eight by fourteen feet and thirteen feet tall, built entirely from marine plywood. The shape is direct and unadorned, drawn straight from the working greenhouses that have shaped agricultural land for generations, a structure built to symbolize the bond between those who work the land and those who build upon it.

Every connection is mortise and tenon, CNC cut and assembled without screws or nails. The joinery itself becomes the architecture, holding old construction logic inside new fabrication method, traditional form realized through contemporary process.

Built for Ann Diener's exhibit "The Invented Land" at MOAH as part of Pacific Standard Time, the piece exists as an artistic representation rather than a working structure, capturing the feeling and form of agricultural architecture rather than its function. Light moves across the timber surfaces throughout the day, the gabled form casting long, familiar shadows.

The Greenhouse will find its permanent home on a coastal bluff in Carpinteria, where it will continue to hold the rhythm of the site, the agricultural land beyond it, and the spirit the exhibit was built to evoke.
