OpenFactory explores how architecture can contribute to climate-sensitive urban living through design, construction, and reuse. By enabling collaboration between researchers, students, and civil society, the SubLab explores simple and robust structures, resource-efficient materials, and alternative approaches to building practices. It critically questions prevailing norms of comfort and “completion,” and develops architectural strategies for adaptive, low-carbon futures. As a research environment, OpenFactory fosters transdisciplinary dialogue and hands-on experimentation in support of sustainable urban transformation. Its activities will be spatially anchored in the LivingLab Factory which will serve as a workshop, meeting space, and experimental platform for architectural prototyping and public engagement.
