DesignDesign: Month two…
Our own grid
Designer Alex's firm models the plant room on a grid they made up in 2019. The steel firm uses its own. The pipework firm uses another.

The information · Four firms' models
I'll be drawn by four firms in four offices. Unless everyone agrees where zero is, I'll be four centres in four places.
The wrong way
Put them together
Josh, the model coordinator, puts the models together for the first time.
In a field
The plant room is 300 metres away, in a field. The cow is unimpressed.
Get readyGet ready: The next morning…
Whose zero?
Josh: Where did you put zero?
Alex: Where we always do. Under the coffee machine.
Four weeks
Every model is moved, checked and moved again. Four weeks.
Still there
The plant room ends up where the centre is. The cow stays where it is. It has seen it all before.
Four firms, four zeros, one plant room in a field, and a cow that has seen it all before.
+4 weeks on the back alley's bill: No shared coordinates: four weeks moving every model back to where the centre actually is.
