MIES - Junk


This is a design for a metal-recycling plant by Dekleva Gregoric Arhitekti, a Slovenian design firm. The site features two rectangular buildings, one concrete and the other a steel structure, perched on a concrete wall that surrounds the site. The office is clad in steel mesh and forms a sort of control deck to oversee processing in the yard below, also providing car parking space underneath.



The project consists of an immense production plateau and two small buildings on the edge of it. The generic base, flexible are clearly divided for multiple-use and the very specific, non-flexible, therefore ephemeral and recycle friendly by its activity. In these terms the huge concrete plateau with a definition wall and attached concrete service building define the core of the current production, however they easily allow for change of program within the industrial zone.
