Abstract
This project is about developing and testing a method of how old places can be given new purpose and use through architectural transformation.
There are plenty of abandoned factories spread around the country, often in small towns and villages in the countryside. Finding a way to reuse old industrial buildings is a key to further sustainable development. The history and identity of existing buildings make them strong, rich and interesting.
Mapping and value assessment are integral parts of the method as they help create an understanding for the place and locate hidden potential. These tools helped develop keywords and strategies for the process, to support decisions and build a narrative.

This project is about developing and testing a method of how old places can be given new purpose and use through architectural transformation.
There are plenty of abandoned factories spread around the country, often in small towns and villages in the countryside. Finding a way to reuse old industrial buildings is a key to further sustainable development. The history and identity of existing buildings make them strong, rich and interesting.
Mapping and value assessment are integral parts of the method as they help create an understanding for the place and locate hidden potential. These tools helped develop keywords and strategies for the process, to support decisions and build a narrative.
Kulturbageriet tells the story of how a forgotten bakery, in the outskirts of a small former industrial town, can be given new life through transformation.
With strategic subtraction and addition the site is opened up and given a fresh start, while still respecting the identity of the place. A new program is thoughtfully developed to answer the question of how to bring new people to the site and turn it into a place where people want to be.
The proposed design looks back to the existing structure, qualities and history of the place, identifying key features to continue on and strengthen. The collage plays a big role throughout the project and is suitable as the process of transforming is in itself creating a collage. The tool is a great way to find the unexpected and explore how new and old can blend to grow. The result is a dynamic space where the experience is led by curiosity to explore the traces of time.
