SO – IL and FREAKS transformed the historic glass factory by uniting it's disparate structures: the glass museum, the glass workshop, and the multipurpose hall. An undulating poured-in-place concrete surface alludes to glass production as it unites the buildings. The surface functions as roof, ceiling, and wall, connecting the buildings’ ground floors to frame a public plaza. New functions are sensitively introduced under and over this surface.
