Clear Story is currently developing and implementing a lighting strategy for the Carrie Furnaces, a National Historic Landmark that stands as a powerful remnant of Pittsburgh’s industrial past. Our approach focuses on revealing the scale, complexity, and material character of the blast furnaces through carefully integrated illumination that enhances visibility while preserving the site’s authenticity. By balancing subtlety with impact, the lighting brings new life to the structure after dark—supporting public engagement, events, and interpretation—while honoring the historical significance of this iconic riverfront landmark.
