Thoughts_3D Grid

Here are some quick studies developed using a three dimensional grid; one axis corresponds to the sharp edges of the historical buildings (x-axis), another begins straight, but molds itself to the curved bank of the river (y-axis), and the last responds both to the monumental scale of the Carrie Furnace buildings and to the scale of a human body (z-axis). The x and y axis are tubular interlocking splines and z axis is a series of rectangular planes engulfing the entire historical Carrie Furnace site. The study may lead to some architectural elements as it is further refined, but for now, the scale of the grid overpowers the program intensely.
