Social Factory
Abstract
The word industrial can be used to describe things that are cold, mass produced, fabricated, and repeated, but can industrial terminologies be used to reflect architecture that is as refined as the industrial process? The goal is to design a social factory that manufactures moments of interaction between people of different backgrounds within an industrial context. Detroit, a city founded on the great American dream and blue-collar workforce, now just a shell of its former glory it finds itself on the cusp of a revitalization movement. A city of industrial ruins searching to become a great American city once again, but lacking many of the infrastructure that can provide spaces for people to foster their curiosity and creativity.
