    Project entry 2014 Africa Middle East – Machinarium: Regenerative urban catalyst and textile production, Pretoria, South Africa

    Plan-to-section illustrating the industrial journey: Urban to natural condition.

The proposed scheme redefines understandings of industry, proposing a new system of resource exchange between specific production processes. The design explores synergies between a textile manufacturing facility, agricultural fields, and a sewage treatment plant to create a “Machinarium” of mutually-interrelated systems and subsystems, all working together in a sustainable environment – exploring new architectural typologies which may transform the future of cities.
