In meeting the changing needs of production space, with each phase of industrialisation, the architecture of the production facility is designed for future change. One idea is that of an elevated structure which can be developed in a transverse or longitudinal axis over existing buildings. This land intensification strategy has added advantages of providing new opportunities for mixed used developments with new urban linkages to existing urban networks. The increase in connectivity also allows the addition of new shaded sky terraces at interfacing zones above the road level. The effect of the new buildings in reducing overall solar gains to the site and in enhancing urban wind flow is a further advantage in mitigating the urban heat island effect in industrial estates.
