架构师提供的文本描述。该工厂位于孟买郊区一家物流仓储设施的一块地皮上。与该地区大多数工业仓库的典型情况一样，大多数建筑物的默认建筑材料是波纹金属护套，而普遍存在的建筑形式是不透明的，没有视觉或物理上与周围环境的联系，从而将该区域变成一个连续的硬边。

Text description provided by the architects. The factory is located on a plot in a logistical warehousing facility on the outskirts of Mumbai. As is typical of most industrial warehouses in the area, the default construction material for most buildings is corrugated metal sheathing and the general prevalent built form is opaque without visual or physical connection to the immediate environment, thus turning the precinct into a continuous hard edge.

我们的第一本能是把这个项目定位为从现有的不受影响的地区群众的经验中解脱出来。在我们站点的西北角，有一部分容易发生季节性洪水，我们巩固了一个低洼地带，因为这是一个全年波动的水体，允许水根据周围的水位进入和排水。尽管这座建筑的沉重表现令人感兴趣，但该项目的核心是中央空旷的天井，工厂大楼的生产楼层围绕着这个庭院组织起来。这些相对较薄的地板确保了照明良好的工作空间。中央向天空开放的庭院在视觉上与大楼外的公共空间相连，通过50英尺悬挑地板下的空隙连接在季节性水体上，作为雇员的遮阳突破空间。

Our first instinct was to position the project as relief from the experience of this existing impervious precinct mass. On the North-West corner of our site, a portion prone to seasonal flooding we consolidated a low lying, as a water body that fluctuates through the year allowing for water to enter and drain the site based on surrounding water levels. While the expression of the building’s heaviness was of interest, the heart of the project is the void of the central open to sky courtyard around which the factory’s building’s production floors are organized. These relatively thin floorplates ensured well-lit work spaces. The central open to sky courtyard is visually connected to the common spaces of the precinctoutside the building through the void under a 50 foot cantilevered floor over the seasonal water body doubling as a shaded breakout space for the employees.

现浇重混凝土重要性“多孔”砌块与周围建筑的轻质但不透明的钢护套形成鲜明的对比。

The cast-in-place heavy concrete materiality of the ‘porous’ block is in sharp contrast to lightweight but opaque steel sheathing of the buildings around.

连接到中央空隙庭院的拐角空隙创造了外向的工厂类型，视觉上连接到远离现场的进入道路，以及从不可渗透的相邻建筑质量中提供浮雕。

The corner void connecting to the central void courtyard creates an extroverted factory type, visually linking to the access road beyond the site as well as offering relief from the impenetrable adjoining building masses.
