The project is rooted in an empathetic and logical approach that derives from my initial impression of the site: so much to uncover, but so difficult to reach. By venturing off of sanctioned routes, I was able to experience the ruins in a much more intimate way. The design aims at enhancing visitor access and their rich interactions with the ruins through strategic accessible solutions, daring form-making, and excavation into forgotten ruins. Further, as a response to Mill City’s complex infrastructural history, the project aims to enhance the visitors holistic engagement of the site through the dichotomy of ‘sanctioned’ and ‘unsanctioned’ routes.
