The factory’s value lies in its striking concrete volumes and unique architectural spaces. This intervention seeks to restore the factory’s full spatial potential, ensuring it
serves both the surrounding community and its owner. To achieve this, the factory's functionality must be restored—not only by repairing essential systems like electrical and plumbing, but also
by anticipating potential uses for the space and preparing accordingly. For example, envisioning
how many people may visit at once and improving vertical circulation, fire escapes, separate
entrances, and possibly installing industrial elevators to accommodate a variety of activities.
Bourj Hammoud is known for its local craftsmen and artisans, and one idea is to open up this
complex to artists, providing them with studios and housing to work on their personal projects
while benefiting from the resources and craftsmanship that the neighborhood offers. This would
turn the project into a mutually beneficial endeavor, enriching the artists’ knowledge while
engaging the local community.
