La géant de fer - The Iron Giant

The Iron Giant shelters a metal folding factory. 21 metal ribbons direct the project towards the protected natural landscape, summon the stripe of a printed fabric, and draw the graphic movement of a fold on its surface. An optimized, functional, and expressive form. Ivan Mathie photographer A stack of 21 ribbons. The volume of the construction consists of a stack of 21 smooth, light metallic gray ribbons that wrap around the building and only interrupt on the southwest facade in a subtle play of solids and voids.

Homebase Factory

The architecture of most industrial factories is often rigid, monotonous, and designed solely for work, typically lacking in quality by overlooking the living conditions of the personnel. However, since employees spend a significant amount of time in the workspace, it is essential to consider factors that influence their sense of satisfaction and comfort. Studies have shown that the work environment impacts employee satisfaction, attachment to the workplace, performance, efficiency, and ultimately, the productivity of the factory. Therefore, by diagnosing the current conditions, the design goal is "to enhance the quality of the factory space for employees and contribute to increased factory productivity."
