NEW EDGE STUDIO
BACKGROUND PROJECT Humankind fabricates infrastructure to fulfill its diverse needs. They have been a tangible part of the human lifestyle for a very long time. All infrastructure has a useful life and this cycle must be reinvented at the end of this life. Humans use huge equipment for storage in several industries. The infrastructure employed for such purposes is built to survive for a very long time. But with the technology constantly evolving, newly efficient and more sustainable types of equipment are being made available,which are rendering the old storage solutions useless. Naturally, they end up in junkyards which are increasing waste production each day. Barren lands are converted into landfills to hold staggering heaps of waste material. Not only does the land get polluted as the junk remains there for an endless amount of time, but the quality of the surrounding environment also depreciates. In the present circumstances of huge food storage demands, these grain bins are losing their relevance of use since they were not designed originally for such capacities. This provides an opportunity to reinvent the way we use grain bins. Repurposing of infrastructure into livable spaces is an ongoing trend. Since these grain bins have stood the test of time for the last 100 years, they can survive for a century more. How can we give these large pieces of equipment a new life?

OBJECTIVE Space Utilisation
Sustainable
Grain bins are huge entities built crudely and the redesignmsut use the bin space efficietly.The compact space can beserv iced with modular elements.
The reuse project must bedesigned with minimal resources and waste to achiece functional output
