Recognizing Newark's industrial heritage and new design concepts by studentsInitiated in Nina Rappaport's classes in the School of Public Architecture, at Kean University this collaborative study documents the rich industrial heritage of Newark, New Jersey, and its industrial palimpsest: it is a record of many of the thousands of factories that are still extant as well as others that are in ruin or have been demolished. The research along with proposed design interventions highlight Newark's current industrial potential and ways to make industry visible. Recognizing the labor and entrepreneurship of workers past and present, from the invention of M&M's and push pins to a center of leather and jewelry production through expansion at each World Wars, Newark's significant past can inspire a new industrial paradigm. Illustrated with numerous historic and contemporary images the book highlights the intensive activity in our formerly industrial cities.

"What can the hybrid building and urbanism do to help support and shape the future of flexible, innovative cities? How can hybrid models change with new technologies, sustainable manufacturing, and advanced production systems? How do we break the planning and land-use patterns of segregated zoning by class and function and encourage mixed-use zoning? These questions and more are addressed in Hybrid Factory / Hybrid City, through a collection of essays by participants in the eponymous symposium organized by Nina Rappaport at the Future Urban Legacy Lab of the Politecnico di Torino. Divided into two sections that mirror the chief conference topics, the collected essays describe projects and research by the contributors, each according to their area of expertise, regarding factory buildings, logistical centers, their potential for mixed use and reuse to support social and economic equity. The essays conclude with a roundtable discussion between the authors that reflects on urban production during COVID-19."--Back cover.
