☉ Tobacco Factory is a proposal by Microba & Associati developed in 2016. It is located in Bari Italy in an urban setting. Its scale is large. Key material is wood.
The project aims at the renovation of the ex tobacco factory in Bari. Originally intended for tobacco processing, the factory now includes a market, bar & bistro, kindergarten and offices & laboratories for CNR. The buildings, in their architectural form, create three large courtyards. The concept is born from the idea of overlapping two layers: building and green.Therefore, the full of the built knows the emptiness of the courtyards, where green is developing, which gradually intensifies from the outside to the interior.
