Avant-garde Metropolis · Extension in an Abandoned Factory

An old red brick factory building, its roof and one side wall pierced by an inclined weathering steel and glass volume. The new volume extends diagonally outwards from within the factory, cantilevered over the open space in front. The old factory's chimney and sawtooth roof are preserved, and the cut-out at the junction of old and new is clearly visible. The surroundings are a newly developed urban area. Avoid: demolishing the entire old factory, hiding the new volume inside the factory so it's not visible, having the new volume imitate the old factory's sawtooth roof and red bricks, and smoothing over the junction with transitional materials.

一座老舊的紅磚廠房,屋頂與一側牆面被一個傾斜的耐候鋼與玻璃量體刺穿,新量體從廠房內部往外斜出,懸挑在前方的空地上。老廠房的煙囪與鋸齒屋頂保留,新舊交接處的切口清楚可見。周圍是城市的新開發區。避免:把老廠房整個拆除、讓新量體藏在廠房內部看不出來、新量體模仿老廠房的鋸齒屋頂與紅磚、交接處用過渡材料抹平。
