This outdoor bakery boasts an interesting and active design. Created by London-based firm Studio Micat, the structure needs exercise to operate.
The premise behind the project is to showcase "how distanced people have become from the physical effort required to make food." In order for the outdoor bakery to function and bread to be produced, one needs to use a bicycle to grind the flour. The structure is situated in a forest in New England and is a part of Beam Camp. Dubbed 'Brawn & Bread,' Studio Micat's outdoor bakery bears educational value. Not only does it provide the children with a form of exercise, but it also educates them about physical work ethic — a quality that is at times neglected in the evolving digital environment of contemporary society.
