PROPOSAL

The Reimagined Beckett Paper Mill proposal aims to give the site back to the City of Hamilton with programs geared towards the culture of the community and encourage social interaction while still maintaining the industrial history through provoking imagery, maintained original materiality, and abstract symbolism. 55% of the existing mill will be dedicated to a local market to provide for the surrounding neighborhoods and support the community’s small businesses, 25% will be dedicated to an art gallery for local artists to display their work, and 20% will be dedicated to a coworking space for the community to utilize. A large ceiling structure symbolizes the abstract merge of a paper floating throughout time and the reflections of the nearby Great Miami River.
