Remanufactory - the typological inheritance of industrial architecture in the age of digital consumption

The dissertation investigates the design of an electronic-waste material recovery facility in the north western precinct of the inner city of Tshwane. It aims to explore the re-configuration of the industrial typology within a contemporary network society, and make apparent it’s changing role and form, influenced by a globalized industrial paradigm that is increasingly decentralized, immaterial and knowledge intensive. It suggests a hybridity of type and process, where value in terms of the local and the material is investigated as an expression of the new industrial ethos of innovation, information access, collaboration and transparency. / Dissertation MArch(Prof)--University of Pretoria 2013 / Architecture / MArch(Prof) / Unrestricted
