They Came, We made, All enjoyed
When we think of a factory we think of it as one big building with a feeling that its big compared to us. We wanted to downsize that feeling, make it more humane. Our concept was to recycle unused military trucks and turn it into small industrial units for small scale industries where they can be added up with flexibility regarding various needs of production line.
Another thing was they will be colorful yet will not be conspicuous. When we see a set of military trucks we see a sign of negative situation but in this case this will serve as hope, enjoyment and happiness associated with making something.
The making units will move towards areas where people need work, will serve them using their skills then move on. So the units will be the economic migrants in a sense not people. It will be a positive force in keeping social and family bonds intact in an indirect way.
The units will act as makers that move, serve and knit bonds with and with a community!
