The project envisions the Sümerbank Factory Campus as a dynamic center for community innovation and textile exchange, honoring its industrial heritage while reimagining its spaces for contemporary use. The production and support structures will be transformed into creative workspaces, workshops, and ateliers, within the configuration of the mat-building (matrix-building).
Former factory units will be repurposed for cultural exchange, textile workshops, and artist residencies. Outdoor areas are revitalized to accommodate exhibitions, events, and gatherings. Overall, the project aims to create a sustainable environment that preserves the historic fabric of the Sümerbank Campus while embracing the site’s future potential for creative collaboration.
