Limeworks - Recovering a Material History

This diploma is an exploration of the field of industrial building heritage and re-use through the case of Siporexhallen, an obsolete remains of a former cement factory located in the northeastern part of Gotland, Sweden. The project aims to shed light on how we relate to what Jane Hutton calls reciprocal landscapes and material origin through recovery of local material history. Extending local cultural tradition and engaging contemporary debates around the unsustainability of cement production, the diploma proposes acupunctural interventions to the former factory through reuse of mass produced materials left on site.
