Prospect Farm Murton York: Level 2 Buildings Recording
A small development has been granted planning permission at the site of Prospect Farm, Murton Way, Murton, York, and shall comprise of the conversion and extension of redundant agricultural buildings to form two dwellings. The site lies within the Conservation Area of Murton and is situated west of the village centre, set back from Murton Way behind Prospect Farmhouse. As the conversion development will permanently alter the original farm buildings, a Level 2 Building Recording was requested prior to works commencing. This report contains the results of the Level 2 Buildings Recording. The survey identified that the agricultural buildings associated with Prospect Farmhouse included the following: a Combination Barn, Multi Bay Shelter Shed, Loosebox and a Milking Parlour. Other periphery buildings, not subject to a recording, were briefly evaluated to help identify the historical development of the farmhouse and yard. This primarily includes the presence of a Rubbing House, associated with racehorse training. Other temporary structures noted around the farm were a range of pole barns, lean-to' and a BC railway container.
Buildings Archaeology Report, Kirkland's Cottage, Woodside, NZ.

Kirkland's Cottage was a mid-1860s clay brick one-and-a-half storey farm cottage at Woodside on the Taieri Plain near Dunedin, New Zealand. In 2021 the cottage was demolished and replaced by a new farmhouse, but prior to and during demolition the old house was recorded in detail. It was a well-made structure, with triple-brick unfired clay brick walls, which were securely braced by the floor joists, upper floor and roof structure. Of note is that it had no below-ground foundations: it simply sat on a cleared solid clay platform, with a stone damp-proof course built in to the lower wall. Overall it was an excellent example of an early farmhouse built using techniques that, while not used now, proved to be very effective in this case.

Research model for farm building design: General structure and physiognomic characterization phase
The design of contemporary farm buildings often subordinates architectural quality and aesthetic features to economic aspects, thus leading to poor landscape consistency and compatibility. The research presented in this paper is based on the theoretical principle that historic rural buildings, being expression of an accumulation of empirical knowledge broadly associated with high architectural quality, have remarkable potentials to contribute with useful elements to the design of contemporary buildings, and on the awareness that the design process is also necessarily and substantially determined by technological, economic and functional variables. The paper presents the FarmBuiLD model (Farm Building Landscape Design), a research model proposed by the authors as a tool for the analysis of the architectural characteristics of both historical and contemporary rural buildings, as well as the meta-design of new construction and transformation of contemporary rural buildings. In particular, the work focuses on the general structure of this model and a synthesis of the main results of the critical analysis of the scientific literature aimed at identifying a set of synthetic architectural parameters suitable for its implementation, through the interpretation of the main physiognomical characteristics of rural buildings. These parameters are not meant as a tool to obtain quantitative data to be translated into design constraints automatically; on the contrary, they are mainly considered as an interpretive-analytical tool, part of a broader knowledge framework aimed at supporting, stimulating and suggesting the design choices.
