The next phase of our project is to draw inspiration and create images and models representing it. We posted all the pictures that were taken at the mill and created an "inspiration wall" to pull from.
A lot of the images are really neat, and I tried to sketch some ideas from my favorite ones. I wasnt very sucessful, and I wasnt really feeling as inspired as I should be for this phase. After meeting with the Chart Masters, we decided that pulling from images that really had nothing to do with the history of the mill..or even the mill itself, was silly. We decided on a different approach. We would use mechanical drawings of cotton looms (which is what the mill was all about) as inspiration. We would also use parts of the looms in new ways to create an industrial, yet fun invironment. Here are some photos that I found as inspiration:
