The renovation does not aim to smooth things over or polish them away, but rather to preserve what has developed historically as a vessel for future cultural practices. Demolition is not an option—the architects are taking what is already there and trying to preserve, as best they can, what has shaped this place over the past decades. The historic industrial halls remain the unshakable foundation, and the green space will also remain untouched, as not a single tree will be cut down to make way for the renovation plans. Not a single square meter will be paved over; instead, an open space will be created as a green oasis for the neighborhood and as a place for people to gather. Hall K1 will be restored to its original factory dimensions to allow visitors to experience the space in a completely new and non-hierarchical way.
