My graduation project focuses on the rebirth of a still-used paper factory in Maastricht, witnessing Maastricht's transformation from a former industrial city to an intelligent city. Since the Sappi paper factory is still in operation, large amounts of paper cellulose, machines, left-over spaces, and even manufacturing knowledge can be gleaned. I position it as a smart paper factory, not in a traditional spatial strategy, but through gleaning paper cellulose as a catalyst, which will link the industrial manufacturing, paper performance research, paper product design and interactive participation to establish this city creative hub.
