Abstract
Constructed in April 2026, the CASA Student Farm rain structure, known as Water-Den, offers individuals on the farm protection from both sun and rain. It fufills the farm's need for a weather protected third space on the farm. The structure itself resembles a dug-out style structure with a slanted roof, three walls, and an open front. Alternative to other dug-outs, the Water-Den has half walls of canvas and recycled pallet boards for air flow. Inside, farm workers and students have space to work, learn, and store needed materials on the farm. Guests will also have the space to socialize and admire student artwork.
