Factory Buildings : Architecture
Key Production Buildings + Industrial Developments around the World
Architecture of FactoriesWe've selected what we feel are the key examples of Factory Architecture. We aim to include Factory buildings / projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.We cover completed Factory Buildings, new building designs and architectural exhibitions on factories. The focus is on contemporary buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome. Factory Building - Latest DesignsArchitecture News - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically:Persian Factory, Iran Design: Hooba Design Group  image from architect Factory Building Iran - 8 Apr 2013 In order to achieve the goal the volume design concept, including all components of the factory such as the enclosure wall, the security building, the official building, the presentation part, the manufacture building and the landscape of the project. In order to achieve an integrated organization, we used a spatial diagram, which defined both the inside and outside of the project simultaneously. This diagram is influenced by the building’s site, and also the existing status of building and additional sections. PJ Carroll’s Factory Dundalk, Ireland Design: Scott Tallon Walker Architects  photo : Paul Tierney PJ Carroll’s Factory Building - 2 Jul 2012 RIBA Award Winner 2012 It is not often that a firm gets a chance do a makeover of one of their masterpieces. This is a project that has rescued an important example of mid-century modernism and answers questions about how best and most economically we can re-use under-performing and outmoded structures, rather than building from scratch. Nestle Factory, Brazil Design: METRO Arquitetos  photo : Leonardo Finotti Nestle Factory Building The main intention of the design for Nestle factory building visiting areas was to create a landmark in the generic landscape of the highway that connects São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, revealing the existence of a public and accessible space. Software & Biotechnology Plant, Spain 2009 COLL-BARREU ARQUITECTOS  photo : Aleix Bagué Software & Biotechnology Plant, Bilbao New building, Software and Biotechnology plant in Parque Tecnológico of Derio, Bilbao, Spain. This is an industrial complex, close to Bilbao, done as a result of two idea competitions. The Technology Park is a center of high technology industries turns 25 in 2010. For guidelines last phase of industrial growth decided to build two new buildings for research and production, respectively, computing and biotechnology. Both of them should work in complete independence, although the plan was considered in a unified way. The model submitted to the competition proposed -with cedar, ebony and lemongrass- two soft insertions, no rough edges, lacking rotunda geometry -they are not circles or ellipses, or ovals-, whose perimeters should not be crossed even for access. Ipekyol Textile Factory, Edirne, Turkey 2008 Emre Arolat Architects  picture from architect Turkish Textile Factory Building Shortlisted in 2010 Aga Khan Awards for Architecture. For the design of the this textile factory building, effective inputs were the technical descriptions of the cyclic relations of these types of productions, the limited size of the area, and the constraints of service and main road connection possibilities and those of the local production techniques. The administrative section, which commonly is visually detached from the production building through the use of different surface languages, due to the conventional approach to such facilities, was more directly associated with production in this project and thus, instead of different buildings a large mass took shape. Poruwadanda Wooden Toy Factory, Sri Lanka Architects: Chinthaka Wickramage Associates  photograph : Waruna Gomis Wooden Toy Factory Building The project was to build a Wooden Toy Factory on an abandoned Rubber estate, by a joint venture between a Norwegian investor and a Sri Lankan partner, with the toy products expected to be exported to the Nordic and Scandinavian Countries. Norwegian client was to close down his wooden toy manufacturing facility in Czechoslovakia due to high labor cost in Europe and relocate the machinery and equipment to Sri Lanka, taking advantage of the tax concessions and investment incentives provided by the Sri Lankan Board of Investment, and Sri Lankan competitive labor market. RPL Factory - Canteen Recreaton and Rest Room Building, Sri Lanka Architects: Chinthaka Wickramage Associates  photograph : Waruna Gomis RPL Factory Building This project was to design a Canteen, Recreation and Restroom building for Royal Porcelain Factory in Horana in a newly acquired six (06) perch block of land adjoining the Factory Premises. The Building was designed capturing the architectural idiom of the Factory building itself with a monitor roof in the centre. Due to space constraints the building was to be two leveled. The resultant section designed with a monitor roof in the centre enabled the restrooms and recreation room to be located in the mezzanine level overlooking partly double height canteen area.
