With the success of our self sustaining city, more and more people are  flooding the precinct . Immigrants wanting to live here, will have to go through a initiation and integration process that will slowly teach and integrate them into our society.  Waste management is the answer to this.  Through hard labour, the waste of the city will be collected by the immigrants.  This will give them the opportunity, while they are working for this community, they also get to know it better.  Labour of love - doing something because you love it. In this scenario they are labouring away because the love the city.

​

The social distillery is a architecture that will enable workers to do something good for the community, and also give them public exposure. By turning something bad into a valuable commodity, people will recognise their effort. By collecting and using organic waste, a type of ethanol can be produced and in turn be distilled into a drinkable alcohol.  This is a type of feel good drug.  So by having a social function within this industrial realm,  the exposure the distillation process is increased and in return the gap between working and playing is reduced.  This will have a positive effect on both the working immigrant and the receiving community.

​

The building offers temporary accommodation for the workers, while they are being integrated into society.  The bar will offer more than just working exposure but will also act as surveillance during night times of these immigrants.  The architecture will take the pedestrian or user on a experiential journey, through this rhythmical purification process. Framing and exposing certain details of it and the product.
