Vertical Urban Factory

The Vertical Urban Factory is an independent project and exhibition curated by architectural historian and critic Nina Rappaport. The exhibition examines the historic and contemporary concepts for the design, structure, mechanization, and economics of multi-storied factories, and their relationship to the urban environment. Ultimately, the project focuses on the impact of global economies on the physical space of industries and aims to stimulate ideas for reintegrating the vertical factory and places of production into the urban fabric both programmatically and economically. Join Sebastian Knorr, of tecARCHITECTURE, for a panel discussion on his industrial projects including the Inotera Factory in Taipei, featured in the exhibition.
