FACTORIES AS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Today, we at T-COD Architecture want to talk about factory architecture. Let's take a look at how the architecture of these industrial establishments, where many people work together, should be.
HOW SHOULD FACTORY ARCHITECTURE BE?
With the emergence of large businesses, factories, a new type of building with unique spatial characteristics, have developed. In factory buildings, an architectural design and implementation tailored to the needs of the business is of great importance. Because a correct design greatly impacts the quality, efficiency, and competitiveness of the company. A correct layout plan is one of the most important elements in factory designs. The correct positioning of areas such as the administrative section, manufacturing floor, and shipping sections determines the main outlines of the operational plan. Generally, basements are used as manufacturing floors, while upper floors are used for storage and shipping sections. If a factory building is being constructed from scratch, it must be designed considering the possibility of future growth and the need for additional buildings. Floor height is also a very important issue in factory buildings. One of the determining factors for building height is the factory's function. The size of the machinery to be used and the storage requirements are also key factors in determining the height.
COMMON AREAS IN FACTORY ARCHITECTURE
First and foremost, offices should be determined according to the number of employees in factory designs. Creating social areas in these spaces, where employees spend a large part of their day, is also crucial. Canteens, changing rooms, and play areas such as billiards and table tennis should be included in the plan to create social areas suitable for common use. At T-COD Architecture, we bring our designs to life in both architectural and interior design fields with designs and applications that are tailored to the specific needs of the company.
