The Grid

A nuclear history museum with an extrapolated circulatory system, inspired by the Inflatable Climbing Frame by Numen / For Use.

Exhibits would suspend from thick cables, while visitors could move in and around them on a thinner wire array. Conventional structures like stairs, elevators, and a bathroom were still necessary, but all other spaces were formed by pulling wires together.

Each large wall had a grid of shelving units, containing thousands of books, documents, film, and records, that visitors could access by simply climbing up to.

The sheer volume of information coupled with visual clutter from the wire array made for an oppressive experience, appropriate for the subject matter.
