The industrial structures of the platform, whether industrial buildings or technological elements that were used as infrastructure in the operation of the platform, have undergone historical development in various stages that testify to Romania’s industrial and technological evolution. They currently form an anthropic environment where the built and naturally developed environments coexist in a certain symbiosis.
The atmosphere, charged with historical industrial testimonies, is a distinctive feature of the area, and our proposal seeks to capture it by integrating everything that is unique and valuable. The proposed overall design does not import foreign elements but rather uncovers the involuntary relationships generated by the area’s industrial historical evolution.The functioning system of the platform is reflected in the built structure and can be valorised by highlighting the infrastructure system that powered the entire complex. The preserved artifacts (precast concrete pillars) are emphasized by marking them as part of a path representing the “cardiovascular system” of the arrangement.
The entire industrial platform is designed to contribute significantly to the integrated system of interconnected green spaces in the area. Thus, the existing and proposed green spaces will connect to the watercourse corridor (Timiș River), providing their own ecological benefits and contributions: a source and destination for various species of plants and animals, shaping specific habitats to increase biodiversity in the area.
