Tryon Farm Institute 
looks very interesting. i would love to come photograph it and incorporate it into a few paintings. very organic, but minimal.
It is truly gorgeous. Come on over! Constructed from on-site locust and willow, bent and bound by baling wire. John is an architecture student at Illinois Institute of Technology. It’s located on the island in the West Pond — near red diamond #4 on the Tryon map: http://tryonfarm.com/build/map.html
