Industribønne Part 2 Project 2024 Laura Hastings Birmingham City University | UK Norwegians are the second highest coffee consumer in Europe, drinking approximately 9.9kg per capita annually. Could spent coffee grounds as waste, be the answer to a more sustainable beverage and less carbon intensive construction?Industribønne proposes the adaptive reuse of an existing coffee factory, located on the historically industrial site of Filipstad, Oslo, through retention of the existing structural frame to support proposed coffee-base infill elements. Architecturally the interrogation of retrofit explores the inhabitation of several wall-like conditions; the existing building interpreted as a monumental architectural wall and the boundaries to Oslofjord and urban edges. Material exploration and circular processes are a focus of this thesis, heavily informing the spatial arrangement and proposed programme from cultivation to manufacture. The development of the main Kaffe Hus acts as a vessel for social consumption, intangible exchange as a direct transition from the tangible exchange of goods through historic port activity; the Herb Garden intends to reconnect with the site’s original function as the home of an apothecary, enabling locally grown produce to be prepared and consumed; and the proposed redevelopment of the existing landmark tower to dry spent coffee grounds before manufacture, all honour the historical functions of the existing coffee factory.
