This project of an architectural translation will try to convey the spatial and programmatic desires of the electronics industry, a Upenn research facility and various natural forces/actors within the Greys Ferry South Bank in Philadelphia. Through the establishment of elevated pathways that are organized along a Multi-functional Space Frame we can raise multiple ground datums so as to make them act as generators of interest and activity. This activated datum, when viewed from the vantage point up above, can provide a meaningful collaborative experience in which both the experimental products produced by the Industry and the Findings done by the Academia can be in a constant state of exposure and dialogue, within themselves and towards the immediate community.
