Description
USA 9: Detail (b) Highlights Relevant to Sustainable Design:
Sustainable homesteads speak to American self-reliance and reduce outside energy consumption.
This sketch illustrates a farm complex in Massachusetts. Like the Amish farms, the adjacency of the buildings is critical to the success of the operation. The cupola with the horse weathervane serves the purpose of ventilating the barn, indicating the direction of the wind, and decorating the structure. America was built on self-reliance, and I love staying at properties like this one that embody today the same sense of a work ethic that has made this country so strong.
Author and illustrator: Charlie Szoradi is an architect, inventor, and the CEO of Independence LED Lighting. He writes about many other topics related to cupola design through his extensive travels around the world.
