The Waste Water Treatment Building stands as a sculptural masterpiece at the entrance of the factory, embodying sustainability and innovation in its design. This unique structure seamlessly combines aesthetic appeal with functionality, utilizing low-cost materials such as glass blocks and ventilation bricks to create a visually striking and environmentally conscious entrance.
The façade of the building is constructed primarily with glass blocks, arranged in a mosaic pattern that captures and reflects the changing light throughout the day. This not only imparts a sense of transparency, symbolizing the openness of the factory to sustainable practices, but also contributes to energy efficiency by maximizing natural light within the interior spaces.
Ventilation bricks, strategically interspersed with the glass blocks, create an intriguing play of texture on the exterior. These bricks, made from cost-effective and locally sourced materials, serve a dual purpose of allowing for passive ventilation and acting as a symbolic representation of the building’s commitment to air and water quality. Their perforated design hints at the importance of air circulation in the waste water treatment process.
As visitors approach the entrance, they are greeted by an abstract sculpture that serves as both a focal point and an educational element. The sculpture, made from recycled materials sourced from the factory, represents the cyclical nature of waste water treatment and the regeneration of resources. It serves as a reminder of the factory’s commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental stewardship
