Tractor House (3rd Year)


Project Purpose: design a house winch would serve to store and display an antique tractor.  I chose to design the tractor house in a way that would showcase the tractor rather than simply storing it.

The concept behind the tractor house and the specific tractor displayed (John Greene A) was to take technology and illustrate how the advancement of technology has created bigger and better tractors that have moved man away from the earth.  Elevating the building accomplished this.  Also, the tractor is display hanging from structure well above the earth.  The structure of the building is fully exposed relating to the industrial time when the tractor was used.

As technology has advanced the human element has been taken away from the earth itself providing a new farming experience beginning with the row-crop tractor.
