The Breathing Factory

University/SchoolEwha Womans University
Lead ArchitectSiyoung Park

This project envisions a “carbon circulation machine” as an architectural prototype that responds to the pressing challenge of climate change. At the same time, by integrating the factory into the urban fabric, it suggests a new coexistence between industry and city, technology and people. Its roof structure is designed to be flexibly adapted to other urban contexts, demonstrating how a factory can be reimagined as a new architectural typology with a public role. This building captures carbon, produces fuel, and becomes a “Breathing Factory” where human and machine coexist in a shared rhythm.
