The distinctive feature of Poe mill was that it had 2 power plants and therefore 2 smoke stacks. The Poe Mill burned down in 2003 and only the smokestacks survived. Nearby residents took the initiative to create a skate park on the old factory foundation, but the site had to be closed after an EPA study found high levels of contaminants.
There is a plan to convert the entire factory site into a neighborhood park, and revitalize the surrounding community. Funding has been established for site cleanup, which is the first step in the process.
A tree is growing on top of one of the smokestacks. I hope that the smokestacks can be preserved, along with this tree. In the contest of tree VS smokestack, I'd bet on the tree winning - so it may be necessary to substitute an artificial tree to avoid structural damage.

The sculpture above is the end result of my A Level Textiles exam and is still one of my favourite pieces of work due to the range of techniques / processes used, as well as the impact added to the work through its photography. I learnt so much from this project in regards to fabric manipulation, which I enjoy exploring within my Fashion Design work. Subsequently, a lot of the techniques that I explored within this project, I expanded on and pushed further within my design orientated Final Major Project Gothic Forms.

The Coptic Museum was founded in 1908 and is the World's most extensive collection of Egyptian Christian art.
Housed in a purpose built gallery on two floors (with architectural embellishments such as ceilings and glass that are rewarding in themselves) the exhibits span the centuries, telling the story of Coptic Orthodox Christianity in Egypt, one of the oldest Christian communities in the World which today comprises approximately ten percent of the country's population.
The display begins with architectural sculpture from the late Roman period onwards through to frescoes from churches along with items in all media, including an especially fine collection of paintings and icons upstairs.
It is one of the most important museums in Cairo and an essential place to visit in order to gain an understanding of Egypt's Christian past.
