THE NEW BRICK FACTORY
FACTORY PROGRAM
When designing we have taken the needs of the users into account. The factory is run by a group of 30 women. Firstly we have the factory workers. To be able to do their work sufficiently we have designed the factory with an open plan with a logistical order of the production process. Materials-sifting-blending-pressing-and-storing. The bricks are manually compressed and then airdried. Compared to an automatically run production process this production is highly dependent on the human workers. We have tried to create a safe working environment for them where they have their own facilities. Where we have provided them with their own bathroom and shaded outdoor patio. The material bays are placed between the road and production area making it possible for trucks to deliver material and keep the easy accessibility for the workers.
