The presented project approaches the area sitauated on the northwestern part of the Bivje industrial zone. The presence of a traffic specific strategic node, historically significant archaeological remains, and a locale with a desire for advancement, is considered concrete potential for the development of a new business, storage, and cultural centre. This would connect residents of the surrounding villages as well as external visitors connected to business and harbor related activities.
The collection of storage structures in the Bivje industrial zone is mostly of a uniform character, despite the historical heterogeneity and current development indicators. The space is characterized by an absence of expansiveness. However, the existing state of the program should not mean that the activity is doomed to uniformity. A hitherto introverted area has the opportunity to become expansive and create an intertwining of the local and the global. Empirical analysis identifies the defined problems of the area and the potential for future development.
The fundamental concept follows the redefinition of the warehouse as we know it, into a broader and more programmatically flexible system. As with the beginning of civilization, humans have a habit of stockpiling surplus goods, information, and principles for mass, long-term use. As a result, the world is interspersed with a network of diverse storage spaces as media for learning about the environment, analyzing recognized data and striving for progress based on new information.
The buildings under consideration are a spatially coherent materialization of the essential principles recognized from the empirical analysis. Simultaneous contrasts in architecture establish a series of levels of communication with the surroundings. The imposing scale of the XL buildings is defined as a response to the presence of the viaduct. The different storeys of the pairs of buildings and then the broken course of the XS buildings create a gradation of defiance, or adaptations to the terraces. In this way, the dominant highway establishes communication with the structures in question and continues along towards the natural and built landscape of the Bivje industrial area.
