The Seneca Army Depot in upstate New York utilized a railway system to move goods and materials across its 10,587 acre site. Now that it is decommissioned, the transportation system provides an opportunity to connect the local network of farms to a centralized distribution marketplace while minimizing vehicle use in the area by providing the transportation of goods. The studio further explored tourist experiences and architecture as a medium or interface between humans and production processes. In addition to the marketplace housed in an existing storage building along the railway-turned-road, a brewery is added to the site operating by exchanging grains for biological waste with the participating farms.
