Word Play


These words not only embrace the key design factors of my design for Glencoe Mills, it visually shows the importance of layering within a historic building. When dealing with preservation AND the integrity of a community things are never flat and seperate from one another. They instead react to each other and in good design respond to their needs ( see how retreat is supporting rest or "engaging" bends to "open" and ties into "flow"). In the end the mill village although large in scale is in the back ground of the site, but is something that I would like to bring back to the foreground. The word "river" is on top as it is the connecting factor to the whole mill, its surrounding buildings and the village therefore it is at the top of the page in a vibrant blue.
