Description

Factory Design tellingly shows in what creative and surprising ways architects around the world approach factory design. When architectural stars like Bernard Tschumi and Foster + Partners, or Barkow Leibinger Architects, declared specialists in the field, go to work, the factory becomes an aesthetic object and the calling card of any company.

The buildings featured here are factories that easily transcend their functional shells. Factory Design documents this typology as a treatise of great architects and subtle means, which reveals high quality in the planning and realisation of architectural concepts.
