RENOVATION OF A BICYCLE FACTORY
ROG
The main topic of this project was to renovate the Rog factory. The factory Rog, despite belonging to the industrial heritage, is as an object already in decay. Due to its location, architecture and history, it would be irresponsible to condemned it to failure. My intention was to renew the factory to keep its industrial architecture and update it.
Although the building is in state od degredation, its interior still helds various cultural, artistic, musical and sporting programs run by the local current residents. As part of the renovation, I kept some of the current program and added some new ones.
However, since the current residents of the factory are already considereing it to be their home, the building would include a new living space for existing and new residents. The factory Rog would also obtain the renewal of its original grandeur of the building and would be a good example of maintaining industrial architecture. Residents and others who are currently working in the factory, would despite the renovation keep or even improved their living quarters and program.
