PRINCIPLE OF EXPANSION The structure follows the principles of simple expansion and contraction, much like the proposed natural environment of the site. The sawmill’s function, for example, is to cut the trees to size as they mature and monitor progress of remediation through biological analysis. This would be expected to expand while trees grow, and contract when its function is obsolete.
TEMPORAL STRUCTURES Material choice reflects upon this expansion and contraction, to allow structures to expand with ease, in the same manner as the portal frame of the steel mill allowed for this constant expansion.

Left Concept Perspective Developed to examine use of material around the site, as well as to examine the philosophy of the site and its structure Right Concept Mapping These diagramatic maps deal with linearity of the site’s former building patterns; proposed layout of the ribbon structures along the site with planting, as well as boreholes. Below Early Section This takes a topographic view of the site, through the layers of build up along the site culminating in its 1815 reclamation and development. This also highlights the substructures still intact on-site.
