Size of Industrial floor and recycle plant

VW Transparent Factory, Dresden, Germany

The size of my building will need flat plan of 400’ by 400’ to accommodate the industry at the scale of the VW Transparent Factory. It might be a 400’ tall cube. Why it is about 40 stories high is because the cost and the construction method of the 40 stories building are very efficient and easy to this city. This city already has many buildings around 40 stories, and its tallest building is 85 stories built back in 1997. So what I am purposing is an achievable monument. People can feel related to it, as well as eager to think that they can build taller than the factory of my proposal.

There will be some industrial floor that is 4 stories high to allow the industrial installation. To support the heavy duty of the industrial activity, I envision one entire floor dedicated for the structural beam or truss system, which means each floor might be 5 stories high. I envision towers of the server space to support the served space (industrial floor) structurally and mechanically as well as the vertical circulation. Let’s say there will be 100 towers/ columns of factory to support the heavy duty floor slabs. The columns will have either egress, restroom, piping shaft, or elevator. Each might takes 300sf, so multiply 100. I guess 30000sf is for the server, and I will remain flexible with the industrial floors. The laboratory space will be sized according the evolvement. 

Valdemingomez Waste Treatment Centre, Spain

 

The recycle plant will need around the 500000 sqft, based on the plan of the Valdemingomez Waste Treatment Centre in Spain. Valdemingomez Waste Treatment Centre by Abalos and Herreros, is intended to serve as a recycling plant for 25 years, then it will either become other kinds of service or dissembled and reused. According to archidose.org, this design is essentially an industrial container. It will change its use after the initial purpose, and still serve the interest of the region, which is what I envision for the industrial floor.
