Narrative

The working mode of factories in the 19th century continues to the present days, and this Heritage space retains the working mode at that time, which is mechanized, single-flow and repetitive. This kind of space symbolizes the state of labour life. My proposal is to break the original streamlined workspace so that worker can feel the joy of work and realize their sense of self-identity easily in the renewal of heritage.

Future Heritage

From my perspective, the preservation of heritage is mainly because people have consumed a lot of time and energy in building and using it, which endows it with historical and humanistic characteristics. Therefore, it is endowed with the symbolism and value of the times and retained.

But on the other hand, how to make the heritage be a sustainable building and retain the historical value?

The spatial content contains spatial spirit and behaviour.

To retain the previous spatial spirit. Let the role of heritage development from object to subject.

Make it be an "alive heritage" after it becomes a new building. It can spontaneously bring value to people and allow people to consume it.

The process of building a heritage likes give it vitality and a soul. The rebuilding process is like retaining the old soul into the reborn body. Let it be a sustainable heritage that develops continuously ......

Manifesto

Retain Spatial Spirit

Factory - Working & Manufacturing Space

Makerspace - Making & Creative producing Space

Therefore, to update Weston Milling, I think that the type of previous space spirit—working and manufacturing may be carried in the new space. On the contrary, change it from object to subject, develop its spirit of working into making, and exploring its spirit of manufacturing into creative producing. And develop space spirit and make it sustainable. In the future, it will become an alive heritage, and it will retain continuously again ......

From the investigation, it founds that the age of people in this area is mainly from 20 to 35, including most of the 80% technicians and professionals and a large number of students.

And this environment provides the conditions for working space because It could have a co-working space for a creative making startup business at the site.

Perimeter Zone Land Use The right map shows the surrounding area are mainly residential areas and some commercial areas. There are seven retail furniture companies and design companies in the business district. Therefore, considering that there is an excellent demand for household items in this area. Thus, the object of making space mainly focuses on household items such as furniture and kit.

At the same time, with the development of the postcovid-19 period, people begin to work at home and have more opportunities for study and activities at home.

Therefore, people began to pay more attention to the home environment. The use of household items is more frequent, providing the conditions for furniture collection and secondhand sales or recycling in this area.

According to the investigation, we can know that the comparison of mechanical process in Weston Milling factory from 19th century to 21st century is mainly mechanical renewal. However, the whole process is still a streamlined operation mode.

My concept is to break the space of streamline mode, make the two buildings combine into a complete structure, and achieve an area of cooperative working mode.

2. Try to make the two building be bidirectionally connected

3. Adding New Blocks to make them integrate a complete building

4. To be a Mutual Association Mechanism with adding space
