From Quarry to Canvas: Mapping, Modeling, and Applied Observation

This post shows how abandoned quarry landscapes can be read as structured evidence of past decisions and operational logic rather than just physical remnants. By mapping, modeling, and documenting extraction patterns, infrastructure traces, and spatial organization, the work reveals how human coordination, risk management, and material priorities are embedded in the terrain itself. The article then connects these methods to broader practices of organizational analysis, demonstrating how disciplined observation turns tacit knowledge into visible structure without imposing premature interpretation.
