" I seek to humanize modernity" Frank O. Gehry

MISSION
The project is located near to the sea. The building is an old fermenting block that was built in the fifties 50's. The brewery is characterized by simplification of form, a plain geometric forms and creation of ornament from the structure. It is a pure sample of ciam's architecture. This infrastructure is  just a sort of leftover, it is actually created to move goods up and down, production and services. It works beautifully, but as soon as the trade left it, they end up empty with no purpose. The idea is to take those infrastructures and turn them into something that really improve the quality of our cities and  citizens life. The project is a place where people can take a rest, play, discuss, gather and escape from our busy city life. It is a new heart for the city where you can actually now engage with arts, culture, sports, history, memorial and leisure.​​​​​​​
CONCEPT
Space is one of our most precious resources. Without it where would we live? But we also define ourselves by exploring space, buying and selling space, decorating space and rearranging space to fit our needs. But does space also have a non-utilitarian function in our lives? The artist Richard Serra has spent most of his career examining the subject of  humanity’s metaphysical bond with physical space. Richard Serra’s sculptural oeuvre that has redefined humanity’s relationship with its surroundings. A welder since childhood, Serra mostly works in steel, creating monumental, site-specific works that don’t simply occupy space, but radically seek to discover its essence. Inspired by Richard serra philosophy, I want  to challenge the viewers’ perception of their bodies. I will humanize the modern architecture with Serra's fluid spaces. ​​​​​​​
