ABOUT
S3D is a 3D printing label, which stands for passion, reliability and precision. The focus lies on high resolution 3D prints achieved with the newest stereolithography (SLA) technology. Having gained experience studying architecture at the Technical University of Innsbruck and at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, S3D is concentrating mainly on 3D prints for architecture models without blench working on new frontiers.

The global information society is growing at a great speed. More and faster networks, and new applications and services delivered at increasingly high speeds, have brought new opportunities to many people, particularly in the areas of health, education, government, entertainment and commerce. At the same time, higher levels of disposable income, urbanization, and industrialization in many developing countries are leading to growing amounts of electrical and electronic equipment, and consequently to e-waste.E-waste contains precious metals including gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium, but it also contains valuable materials such as iron and aluminium, along with plastics that can be recycled. Proper management systems of e-waste need to be established to allow for the recovery of the impressive value of precious and valuable materials contained in discarded equipment.
a grid hybrid
THE urbanistic strategy
The main strategy for the industrial park was to derive the masterplan from an analysis of different city grids. Therefore, the street orientation of 16 iconic cities where analysed. Since the goal was the creation of a hybrid between a regular and irregular grid, 8 of each entity were used. The regular city grid typifies efficiency and the irregular grid leisure. Both fundamental properties for the industrial park. The main focus point was resolving the area where these two entities convert and interact with each other. The grid next to the harbour and the recycling facility is rigid, next the natural park or residence it is more flexible and irregular. Along the industrial area our park helps to lure people into the recycling facility. These recycling processes are quite a spectacle especially when automated and on a large scale. Making those processes accessible are highly important to push the awareness for these issues in an educative and entertaining way. So, the building as well as the Industrial park is simultaneously a edutainment building. Naturally, the park does also help for a recreational purpose.

"An industrial park is an area zoned and planned for the purpose of industrial development. An industrial park can be thought of as a more „heavyweight“ version of a business park or office park. Industrial park as usually located on the edge of, outside the main residential area of a city, and provided with good transportation access, including road ,rail and port."
CONCEPT
Dope City addresses the illegal UEEE (used electrical electronic equipment) export as well as the inefficient way of reprocessing it. An efficient system combined with a modified economic model could open up the possibility of extracting all the contained economic, and societal values of e-waste. E-waste would shift from being a burden to something worth importing. The used electronics could be imported overseas where a harbour works as interface between the ship and the recycling / extracting facility. The new extracted raw materials then get processed in a factory which will enables public access.

Up to 60 elements from the periodic table can be found in complex electronics, and many of them are technically recoverable, though there are economic limits set by the market. E-waste contains precious metals including gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium, but it also contains valuable materials such as iron and aluminum, along with plastics that can be recycled. Proper management systems of e-waste need to be established to allow for the recovery of the impressive value of precious and valuable materials contained in discarded equipment.

The sorting and recycling procedures are a spectacle. All the different technologies and systems playing together create a choreography which has also a educative purpose. The main facility is made out of 10 main chunks. Each part embeds an essential moment in the E-waste recycling process. The elements which can not be recycled will be burned in an incinerator in order to retrieve energy which then will drive partially our facility.
MATERIALITY & CIRCULATION
The materiality of the building helps to improve the experience for the visitor without influencing the efficiency of the facility. The main structural system is a plated structure made out of steel. The machine spaces are marked off by different translucent materials. Next to the ECS Unit, the crossflow shredder and other dangerous machines bullet proof glass will make the space for the visitor safe. Polycarbonate Elements will let daylight seek into the building. That helps to reduce the need of artificial light, and therefore improve also the efficiency of the building. In addition to that natural lighting will improve the special qualities and the feel of security for the visitor.
