dc.description.abstract | Today, barns and farmsteads are rapidly disappearing from the Midwest due to neglect, new development, weathering, and lack of practical purpose. This project is a future vision for the adaptive reuse of the two barns and the Matteson Farm located on the Matthaei Botanical Garden’s property. The approach this project takes to addressing the cultural significance of the Matteson farm is characterized by the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation and preservation. The project includes the following deliverables: site plan, phasing schedule, planting recommendations, guidelines for the treatment of a cultural landscape, and suggestions for interpretation and educational programming. The project followed a traditional approach to site planning including: a site inventory, site analysis, program design, schematic design, and final design. A stakeholder focus group, case studies, and interviews all helped inform the overall site design and circulation network. The plans and vision for the adaptive reuse of the barns and Matteson farm present Matthaei Botanical Gardens with a sustainable plan for the future development and maintenance of the property. The creation of a ceremony garden, event center, and agricultural space allows MBGNA to extend its mission by promoting environmental enjoyment, stewardship, and sustainability through education, research, and interaction with the natural world. | en |
