The re-development of the MMC site is focused on improving the urban situation for the local residents, both functional and spatial. Many of them belong to the category disadventaged people in terms of education and employment. The new pedestrian lane through the middle of the site, bridges the two local village centres and gives the opportunity to grow one stronger center, with a functional division of a commercial, educational and flexible zone. The industrial site is spatially manipulated, to make pedestrian routing both fluent and tactile. Therefor, interiors of factories are used to create more intimate urban space, so that a network of spatial sequences arises. In these urban interiors, industrial materialization and structures are emphasized with green, light and shadows, creating interesting entrance zones and short-cuts where people become more aware of the historical time-layers and values, generating inspiring learning environments. The Grillas Warehouse is the main building of the New Opportunity Education Centre, which is also further elaborated. As the new function of the warehouse will be an educational institution, the warehouse needs to be transformed in order to get sufficient daylight and to become more environmental friendly. Besides, different educational program needs to be added like an auditorium theatre, workshops and a reception space. A clear new building layer is added to generate a more coherent townscape and to strengten the identity of the existing buildings. The new layer follows the volumes of the old, but with the locally produced terra cotta earth bricks, the new additions experiment with different stacking patterns, sizes, openings and aggregates of shredded waste.
