Aaron Jones, an affiliate faculty member of the Gibbs College of Architecture, recently received funding for the collaborative architecture project “Deep Space Maine.” They were awarded the SPACE: American Rescue Plan – Maine Project Grant. SPACE is a nonprofit organization based in Maine that supports contemporary arts projects, champions artists, and encourages an open exchange of ideas. The organization was selected by the National Endowment of the Arts to redistribute project funding from the American Rescue Plan.
In collaboration with artist and scholar Cary Adams, Aaron Jones will design and build a small off-grid writer’s cabin in Maine. The cabin will be for the creation of anthropocentric themed fiction. The project borrows construction methods from vernacular architectures that resemble space stations. The cabin’s alien appearance will connect an anthropocentric environment to other-worldliness. Writers at the cabin will tap into the planetary estrangement of the scenario created by this unique setting for their own creative work.
