ARCHITECTURAL STRATEGIES:

I based my strategies on the theoretical work OMA developed for the Seattle library.  

 

Each use of the program was organized into dedicated, specifically equipped spatial compartments.  These are flexible and dynamic within, but without the threat of one program interfering with another one. Instead, these masses are strategically connected with areas that convey an urban continuum, that can, in the future, host uses we can not yet predict. In the meantime they work as an overlap of complementary uses, work stations, common areas, drone passage and leisure. This design allows an efficient and flexible workflow in the factory and allows spaces to evolve through time.

 

Also, in order to portray the high tech image of the factory, a motherboard appearance was applied in my architectural approach.
