Amazing projects from Chile, Venezuela, Germany, Turkey, and Italy! It’s Industrial Architecture at it’s best. Check them all after the break.

Aonni Mineral Water Plant / Bebin & Saxton
Chilean Patagonia has a particularity that is distinguished and exclusively of that place: THE DETACHMENT. We can notice disunity, a separation of what was linked before, the surrounding elements live in constant alteration. This detachment produces cracks, isolations, torsions, new tensions.

And finally, at the very top, an elongated floor plan affords a wonderful view of the hills to the east, just beyond the highway (read more…)

This work is a good example for dealing with the complex program of a press industry in an already existing construction mend for another function (read more…)

Water Filtration Plant / C+S Associati
An infrastructure is thought as a landscape design project. Located in the Nortehrn Lagoon Park north of Venice, on the southeastern edge of Sant’Erasmo island, the new water water filtration plant is part of the general urban and environmental upgrading of the island that the Magistrato alle Acque di Venezia is implementing through the Consorzio Venezia Nuova, within the context of a programmatic agreement between the Magistrato alle Acque di Venezia (read more…)
