The Paper of Knowledge approaches the SEKA Paper Factory as a complex industrial heritage site whose value lies not only in its physical structures, but in the production systems, spatial hierarchies, and social relations embedded within them. Rather than isolating SEKA as a frozen object of preservation, the proposal adopts a grafting architecture approach, in which new educational and cultural programs are carefully inserted into the existing industrial fabric. These grafts do not replace or conceal the historic structures; instead, they grow from them, creating a reciprocal relationship between past and present.
