Practicalities

After meeting with the site managers, I finally have rough measurements of the window cleaning equipment and lift which is used to clean the glass.  The lines will need to be positioned to allow the equipment to operate. 

Furthermore, after consideration of the scale issue I'm leaning towards having more of the garments than originally planned and giving the installation the appearance of a 'scattering' rather than obvious lines. However, this will need to be achieved by careful positioning of them along the lines as the lines themselves do need to be regimented to allow for this equipment and to line up with fixing points.

Working with the elevations of the existing buildings, I'm also looking at the height of potential fixing points and trying to achieve a gradual overall decline in the height of the lines as one walks towards the centre of the site.  I feel this would encourage movement through the site, with the garments becoming more understandable as they become closer.

Plan in progress:
