Our world opens more and more to adaptability and interchange, be it on a social level, in architecture or in terms of lifestyle. Plug-industrial offers the potential of transforming the city by envisioning change with the focus on this problematic. As life quality decreases in the city life and collaboration between the inner city and the outskirts of its realms hardly is possible from an architectural and urban point of view, an infrastructure of escape seeks to create opportunities and possibilities of joy for each user of the city.
With the help of landscape culture as valuable design instrument, Plug-industrial can contribute to a shift in the attitude of accepting and imagining the city.
An attitude of accepting neglectfulness and play along with it in our job as professionals would contribute to the ideal of increasing life quality into the cities. Tabula plena as way to go will produce growth, contrasting tabula rasa as radical gesture of responding needs of a city.

The ‘industrialscape’ is wide spread on the periphery of the central city but is in itself devoid of centrality. Joining the “scattered” analogically refers to the principle of the attraction field.

connective smooth space design beginning inside each industrial core and continuing at their exterior. Smooth space can ideally unify residual space in the broader urban scheme.
