The Continuum of Farming, Stewardship, and Spirituality is a sequence of multi-purpose spaces that exist along a 1.5-mile circular path connecting four farms, a monastery, and a community center in the Hudson Valley of New York. Acknowledging the breadth of programs that exist on-site, the project seeks to provide a platform on which the three programs of farming, stewardship, and spirituality can hybridize to bring about a spatial and institutional model that introduces new modes of practice between existing stakeholders. The programmatic hybridity is translated through a combined architectural language of wood, corten steel, and rammed earth along the sequence of spaces.
