Theme: waste recycling factory

The project of the Gloria waste recycling plant complex is based on the idea of an optical illusion, when reality turns out to be different than at first glance. Similar to the plot from the fairy tale ‘The Little Prince’, when everyone thought it was a hat, but it turned out that it was a boa that swallowed an elephant. And what we see from the outside is a shell that hides all the content and functions inside. A monolithic shell envelops the entire complex, hiding from view all technical processes, as well as the central social core. Only the entering way makes it possible to pass through the outer shell, look and participate in what is happening inside.
