The thesis is an inquiry into architecture as a by-product of commodities and socio-economic cultural factors. Post Industrial Revolution with the advent of mass production, manufacturing units outside the city seemed extremely isolated with internalized programs. The economic activity in the future may depend on a system that reverses the principles of mass production to make semi-customized products. The landscape might change and we might find that this new industry of prototype production becomes the ‘new mass production’. The sharing economy model provides a platform that would benefit society by making this kind of information more accessible at the neighborhood level.
The insert tries to bridge the image-content gap by proposing an incubator typology. It aims to integrate the process involved to create a new ecosystem of production and consumption within the city along with the jetty to form an informative public space.
