During the Covid 19 lockdown, Charlotte Skene Catling and Adam Lowe bought Alvar Aalto’s Silo at auction. Together, through Lowe’s Factum Foundation, they launched a programme to turn Aalto’s first industrial building into a creative research centre that will digitise and communicate the industrial architecture of the arctic north, as well as the impact these industries have had on the environment. Initiatives will focus on recording and digitising both man-made and natural environments. The project will restore Aalto’s 1931 concrete Silo as a ‘cabinet of curiosities’ and an exploration in the preservation and reuse of industrial heritage. It will construct a new research centre using radically ecological construction methods based on research currently being carried out with Nordic collaborators. Local partners include Oulu University, Stora Enso, the Aalto Foundation, the Aalto University and the Oslo Centre for Critical Architectural Studies. The podcast will trace their thoughts to date, the multiple complex subjects that have coalesced around the Silo and the next steps in the project.
