[Rebirth of an old factory just before demolition, Cosmo 40]
⠀
Located in Seo-gu, Incheon.
⠀
As the Cosmo Chemical plant moves to Ulsan, the Incheon site is on the verge of being demolished. With the will and execution power of some with capital, an old factory that will soon disappear is reborn as a cultural space representing the region, entering its second heyday.
⠀
Since the Cosmo 40 was a factory, it still overwhelms the first impression with its scale. High ceilings and an open floor plan are a different experience in themselves for modern people who spend most of their time in apartments and office buildings. It also reveals a space design with a lot of care, which would be impossible if it were simply to reduce the weight of the existing industrial site and decorate it with chairs and tables. The physical independence maintained as the new building surrounds and penetrates the existing building avoids the erasure of identity when it meets the current law on regenerative architecture. Thanks to this, while preserving the taste of the old, it did not lose the sense of the new that the times demanded.
⠀
If you visit various places in Korea called complex cultural spaces, most of them are filled with justifications. There are many keywords such as public space, event hall, store, and exhibition space, but in reality, it is correct to call it a cafe. Cosmo 40 is also making various attempts not to be dismissed as a large cafe, but the vitality lies in the cafe. Now, it is my wish that a complex cultural space with a broader concept and dimension appears rather than simply a 'space of rest and paying a price'.
