The program is designed as an artist-in-residency (AIR) program, with monetary support from community-support agriculture (CSA) produced by the residents. Previous residents from past AIR programs were interviewed to determine common experiences between urban emigrant residents. Collectively, residents agreed the most influential benefits from living in a rural environment were proximity to nature, time, and serenity. Isolation from urban-environment dynamics was key to all of these benefits, so isolation was chosen as the central concept. Isolation precedents were researched to determine segregation's psychological effect on humans; research material ranged from literature on Siddhartha and writings by Thoreau, to first-hand accounts by astronauts and explorers. Voluntary isolation was found to greatly improve creativity and concentration. It was concluded that residents should have isolated safe havens in which they cultivate their art, but also interact and consult with other artists in residence. Because alcohol consumption serves to remove inhibitions and increase social interaction, hops were chosen as the staple crop and a brewery was added to the program. Hop growth, weather patterns, arable land, and upkeep were analyzed to establish the number of artists in residence at twelve.The brewery/gallery was designed after studying local breweries and galleries to determine programmatic requirements. Galleries offered more flexibility, while breweries required efficiency and fixed spaces. Therefore, the brewery was linearly programmed to maximize efficiency. The gallery parallels the brewery to integrate agricultural production with art. The gallery then diverges into four distinct corridors, each with a view towards one of the four outdoor exhibition spaces; peaceful gallery wings act as an interstitial between the dedicated social spaces of the restaurant and brewery and the isolation of the artists in residence. Interior space creates a path of light for visitors to follow and experience the galleries based on degree of isolation. Agoge provides artists with isolation to focus and evolve their creativity, while providing the community with direct access to art and local agricultural products.
