A proposal for the Franklin Carmichael Art Gallery served as the agent for material reinterpretation. The high density of slag provides effective counterweights to support dynamic steel truss cantilevers while the weaving pattern of blocks ensures lateral stability for this compression structures. These renders illustrate the textural and monolithic qualities of the material. Diffuse and direct light is spatially contrasted to reserve the heightened perception of colour intensity for the art work being exhibited. People navigate parallel routes while light is permitted to pass perpendicularly throughout the woven mass. This tension is meant to incite the spatial qualities of the local mining culture.
