The Protofactory redefines the factory typology. Based on a flow of knowledge and information, The Protofactory harbors a lateral organization of labor and enhanced feedback of research development and innovation processes supported by local and international education.

While the disposition of spaces and boundaries propagate intermediate ‘soft spaces’ that are occupied by program and appropriated as infrastructural systems.
