All too often, the design of contemporary industrial structures is just a variation on the big-box format, which can only, to a limited extent, respond to context and the needs of human users. In light of the current changes in the production sector, where sustainable approaches in everything from energy supply, material procurement, and waste management challenge and redefine the very essence of the industrial sector, a similar new approach to industrial architectural design is a chance to reinvent the way industry and environment can interact in a positive way. The chance to reinvent the way industry and environment can interact in a positive way.
