How to deal with the abundance of abandoned mega-structures in a city and where do these structures fit in modern society? Rather than repelling or demolishing, this project deals with the structure of the abandoned factory of Belgrade by redefining its relationship to the human scale. The use of the age-old approach of roman and medieval village structures serves as the main strategy to allow for change and resilience. With the tools of excavation and fragmentation, the former Cotton Factory is transformed into a village community along with parameters to allow the 'anonymous' users to develop a variety of functions.
