Of brewing and building, from yesterday into tomorrow – the history of the so-called Gösserhalle in Favoriten, Vienna’s 10th district, is a checkered one. Ever since its construction the industrial building, originally built as a workshop premises by the ÖBB before 1900, then converted into a beer warehouse for the famous Gösser company in the middle of the last century and most recently repurposed as an event venue, has, with its distinctive façade with clinker-clad wide arches defined the character of its urban quarter. This identity-forming brickwork structure was now taken into the future.

Venice, the essence of this experience lies in wandering through the streets of Venice. Walking along the streets, entering beautiful shops for shopping, dining in restaurants with delicious aromas, and continuing along the path until encountering St. Marco’s Square—all these pedestrian experiences constitute the experience of the city itself. This holds true for most cities worldwide. A city is its streets, and streets define a city. The late Korean architect, Guyon Chung once said, “To walk this street is to become part of its history.” Walking the streets means becoming part of the city’s history.

The Modular Game – Modules serve as the measurement that guides construction. These numbers vary based on conditions such as the weight of materials, production methods, mobility and quantity considerations, structural limits, and more. Typically, prefabricated materials produced through production lines have specific dimensions, and the dimensions of partitions are determined based on these sizes. Even materials without joints, such as external renders without joints or materials cast or welded, cannot infinitely extend the length or area of materials. In architectural design, the issues of partitioning and joining always arise.

Seongsu Silo: Seoul Urban Manufacturing Hub / Society of Architecture

Since its foundation in 1394, Seoul has transitioned from an agrarian society to a full-fledged industrialized megacity. Within this 600-year transition, it was the 20th century that saw the most drastic urban change due to a process of industrialization. During its colonial period under Japanese imperial rule (1910–45),Yeongdeungpo, southwest of the Han River, was developed with heavy military infrastructure. This laid the groundwork for this area to transform into Seoul’s largest industrial zone after liberation from Japan. Other industrial areas around Seoul followed, yet, as of 2021, only seven major semi-industrial zones in Seoul remain. They account for 3.3 percent of the city’s total area but are essential to its industrial economy.
