IRONMONGERS ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

by Monica Basta

In this project, I have focused the study on Ironmongers. Ironmongers were a charitable organisation who benefitted the unfortunate through educational purposes over the study of iron. In my project, I have explored and played around with designs made out of iron that could be used and seen in our daily lives. In this case, I created a wagon and a building exhibiting the art of iron work. In my wagon, I have chosen several designs made out of iron material as a facade. While as for the main attraction building, I have included a huge blast furnace where people can create sculptures from scratch and children can discover and learn the facts on iron since it is a rarely used material. I have tried to attract a wide demographic audience so that people at a young age and elderly can benefit from this experience.
