The barn, closely related in nature to silos and sheds, is an essential building typology in rural and agricultural landscapes. Featuring highly simple and functional design solutions, barns serve specifically as storage spaces for large volumes of livestock feed and are commonly characterized by high ceilings, generous spans, and relative spatial flexibility, protecting hay and grain from the sun, rain, moisture, and animals.

Much like silos and raised granaries, the barn is an essential building typology in agricultural storage. Their designs are typically simple and functional. Specifically serving as storage facilities for large volumes of raw materials, they are characterized by high ceilings, wide spans, and relative flexibility, protecting agricultural products—such as cereals, fruits, grains, straw, and hay—from the sun, rain, moisture, and pests.

Architecture can ground both healing and wellness. Whether mitigating and reducing the transmission of disease, or simply providing a tranquil space for solace, the buildings of our daily lives directly shape our experience. In the case of emergency architecture, spaces are built to address issues of health and shelter. As architects continue to rethink designs for housing and basic human needs, they've also extended their focus to mental, physical and spiritual well-being.
