Presentation of the book edited by Nina Rappaport

Now that industry is often clean, green, small, and quiet it can be integrated at the city and building scale with other uses. How can hybrid models change with new technologies, sustainable manufacturing, and advanced production systems to create new open city?
Hybrid Factory / Hybrid City book answers to different questions about the integration between production, architecture, and city through a collection of essays by participants in the eponymous symposium organized by Nina Rappaport at the Future Urban Legacy Lab of the Politecnico di Torino. Divided into two sections, the essays describes projects and research by architects and urbanists regarding the aura of industry, its place in relationship to the body, building structures, logistics centers, reused factory buildings, and their current and future potential for mixed-use. Social and economic equity can be integrated through light manufacturing jobs, community uses, and affordable housing.
