This studio investigated and analyzed a new building typology proliferating in the Pearl River Delta Region, China. Cities in the PRD, such as Dong Guan, and Shenzen, are in the process of building nodes of intense building activity, in the form of large scale manufacturing complexes. Consisting of production facilities and residential components; the complex has to accommodate a diverse program (factory, dorms, offices, recreational facilities, etc.)
The Pearl River Delta is rapidly approaching a point where land prices and cost of living are making it inviable as a manufacturing base. However, the infrastructure, and proximity to major trading and shipping means that industry is not likely to move much farther inland for items that require oversight and quick communication. This, combined with a transition from unskilled labor to a growing experienced work force suggest a particular future for PRD factories.

Studio Context Design Proposal
Program:
-er than it entered. The undulating roof catches and filters storm water, reduces urban heat island effect hat occurs with dark rooftops, and pavements; producing a cooling effect when foliage gives off moisture and evapotranspiration; the green covered roof also help as acoustical insulation, and the filtration drainage system is design to absorb water quickly and release it slowly.
TERRANDUSTRIAL critically re-imagines the factory as a site for large scale rapid prototyping - limited runs of experimental assemblies or small products. The infrastructure required of a modern industrial production facility produces enormous amounts of waste in the form of heat and water - climatic elements that can be utilizaed for their uncertainty and stability. Could the waste water be used to feed a landscaped green roof, designed to function as a prototyping ground for future North Face products?
TERRANDUSTRIAL proposes a “thick roof,” holding utilities, waste lines, and heavy traffic; folding to wrap over and around offices, housing, laboratories, manufacturing, canteens, and computer labs. This elevated surface warps in response to needs for entry, drainage, and light, while containing disparate programs. Rain and wastewater are pumped to the surface, and biologically filtered as it drains into the river, leaving it clean-
TERRANDUSTRIAL retools this industrial conveyance into a post-industrial instrument of leisure, design, and production - not as a green valley in an industrial metropolis, but as it’s offspring - aspiring to reveal the potential social and programmatic links between public space and urban ecology - a new form of urbanism with people as the most important creatures in this hyper-urban ecology.

Each climatic/prototype zone contains as many biotopes as possible. Diversity within each system will promote emergent stability and activity within the activities and site/environment.
The Site is divided into climactic zones for prototyping products according to their needed environmental conditions.

Testing Landscape aboveLoading Dock & Access above
The undulating roof landscape allows for vertical circulation to punch through to the surface, while creating actual opportunities for unique landscape moments.
The second floor manufacturing rises above an opening, to create a threshold gateway into the facility. Recieving offices on the first floor coordinate deliveries and shipments

Vertical circulation of both people and equipment and products enables this two-story factory to function. A porous second floor allows for easier placement of utilities through the manufacturing hall.
A lagoon area is used for testing water based products such as rafts and kayaks, as well as wetsuits, and footwear.
Employees and visitors can use strategically placed high-speed elevators to get from the manufacturing floor to the landscaped roof above. Strategic window placement along the facade allows for greater natural light in the manufacturing hall
Raincoats, tents, and hiking boots are tested in the rain forest landscape zone near the river.
An onsite water testing lab is utilized for treatment of wastewater, use for greenhouse production, landscape irrigation, and product testing.
Perforations in the roofs, in addition to natural light, allow for utilities to vent to the outside.
Large, free-way like structure supports the landscape above and allows for wide expanses of open spaces, enabling the reconfiguring of manufacturing equipment to accommodate new product lines.
Some laboratories will require some amount of UV protection, but might still allow for natural light through the use of specially treated screens and coatings on the glass facades.
