In a comprehensive study of D.I.R.T Studio’s URBN Headquarters in the South Philly Navy Yard, I conducted site surveys in order to draw the site in axon and plan. Part of the study was a comic that found humor in the irony of the site: Julie Bargmann’s plan used a lot of recycled material, and URBN produces even more waste from fast fashion. Lastly, I made diagrams to understand enclosure, composition, material, as well as the passage of time as understood by the site.
