What defines the quality of a building? Can certain values or presumed values define the dividing line between demolition and preservation? Every building is a heritage and every building deserves demolition. Perhaps there are no a priori labels or strategies, but a negotiation of values, of parts, of components. Demolishing is the last act, the last possible choice. The exhibition intends to valorise buildings of an industrial nature in their characters and values, whether they are presumed or recognised. The models show the State Of Fact, before a project, becoming an added value (+) for these artefacts. The intention is not to bewitch with suggestive images, but with the qualities that these artefacts possess. Each plastic is made of a poor material, industrial cardboard, to mark its precarious character, but at the same time embellished and enhanced with a colour that enhances its formal qualities. The drawings emphasise these values by showing with yellow the few parts that have been sacrificed in the project for adaptation to new uses. In silent grey, the design strategy is suggested, leaving the focus on the industrial heritage.
