Cabook Teb Factory began at a point where industrial performance and production processes evolved into a concept for architectural design. The client is a manufacturer of 200 specialized modules for medical equipment, ultimately assembled into a unified final product. This progression—from part to whole—naturally inspired the design approach. Here, architecture was not merely a container for function; instead, much like the process of assembly itself, it emerged through the combination of independent and seemingly disparate elements into an integrated spatial organism.
The architecture of this project is more than the mere juxtaposition of components—it is the result of synergy, tension, and the interplay between those elements.
The overall form of the building is composed of several primary sectors, each not just a spatial subdivision but a “functional unit” with a defined role in the larger system. These segments, like the organs of a body, are independently operative yet interdependent, connected by a network of spatial and functional relationships.
The main structural system is based on peripheral shear walls. These walls are organized around the sectors to provide structural strength and coherence, while simultaneously creating a framework for the spatial modules.
Between these walls, deliberate openings were introduced—“intermediate spaces” that bring in light and views. These voids create a spatial rhythm: at times compressed and focused, at others open and expansive. Here, emptiness is not a lack, but an active, positive quality—an element that gives meaning to the mass. The rhythm of these walls—derived from their angles and dimensions—responds to the geometry of the site, as well as to zoning constraints like density and coverage. This geometry also generates varied visual perspectives of the building from its surroundings.
The intersection of structure, site geometry, and spatial-functional requirements gave rise to triangular incisions within the form, segmenting it. This project is essentially the result of the collision of forces, events, and spaces. In Cabook Teb Factory, this intersection occurs at the convergence of structure and light, mass and void, constraint and freedom. Here, the structure is not merely an engineering framework—it becomes a spatial expression.
The final architecture, much like the client’s end product, is the result of a precise, purposeful, and calculated assembly of components. Each part holds its own meaning, but only together do they form a complete and living whole.
Cabook Teb Factory is an exploration in transforming an industrial process into a spatial narrative—a narrative in which architecture seeks not to imitate industry, but to interpret and reimagine it. This project strives to demonstrate how the precise logic of production and assembly can give rise to a human and poetic language—a language in which light and shadow, solid and void, all come together in a unified spatial composition.
