Reuse of industrial buildings - The metamorphosis of the Goldberger Textile Factory
What can be done with unused factories today? How can these buildings be reconditioned in a modern way and filled with exciting cultural content? What makes such an industrial space attractive and what are the exciting possibilities for urban citizens and contemporary artists? In my thesis, I seek answers to these questions. I will begin by examining the current position of industrial architecture in the country and the role of industrial buildings in urban regeneration, illustrated by international examples. I will then present the history of the Goldberger Textile Factory, describing the technology of textile production and the story of the Goldberger family from 1785 until the change of regime. Finally, as a case study, I will outline the concept of the Goldberger Design District project for the 2022 Budapest Spring Festival, in the creative design of which I am actively involved.
