"Display"
The portico recieves the visitor. Information signs for current and future events are visible from the street. White, smooth surfaces contrast with the industrial character of the heritage site. The structure is visible without nodes.
"Paths"
The visitor platform is developed by presenting the structure of several floors. The memorial is only slightly altered. The ground level is connected to the cafe and pump station for public access. Visitor paths and the blow room are connected by a method of docking to the visitor platform.
"Surfaces"
The large ground floor hall of the water tower will be used as two level visitor's area. The museum shop and the checkout are placed in the hall like boxes. The meeting point over the musuem shop offers a view of the furnaces through the existing windows. On the 2nd floor is the exhibition space of the water tower and the pump station.
