Cratessemblage was a temporary installation in 1998-99, in Geneva (NY - USA) made up of industrial utility bins, stacked exactly as photographed.  The assemblage was meant to delineate sun shadow angles in the winter months, adjacent to commercial shoppers in a suburban plot.  The focus of this architectural form was to combine agricultural utility within a spatial grid while challenging the preconceptions of rural space influenced by the urban grid.  It also ties in thermal massing within voids of crates, typically filled with a tree-fruit crop from neighboring land. (56) x 3'-8" x 3' x 2'-1" (91.4 cm x 1.1m x 55.9 cm) - approximate dimensions.
