A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This thesis is an exploration of adaptive reuse, manifested in re-inhabiting an empty industrial building with public artisan ateliers. Old and new material is poured in with the new purpose. The project is a deliberate act of preservation and innovation, seeking to honor the site’s historical legacy while responding to the evolving interests in contemporary arts and crafts. By re-defining what production and industry is today as a point departure in defining the architectural design, the project aims to integrate history and modernity. The project explores partially how to make use of existing buildings as well as how to make use of an intangible heritage and soul of a site. The old will be re-invigorated with five programs, all with an aim of small scale production; Woodwork, metalwork, textile, ceramics and glass. These ateliers will serve as a contemporary homage to industrial craftsmanship, bridging the gap between analog and machine-driven production methods. The envisioned program transcends mere workspace; it is designed to foster collaboration and interdisciplinary exchange. The ateliers not only provide functional workspaces but also serve as platforms for collaboration within themselves as well as external associations. The historical precedent of adapting to changing needs is mirrored in my design approach, allowing for future modifications.
