For this field-trip and maybe project 2, I’m interested in looking at the dark historical past of the site, defaced by Bernard Tschumi’s modern architecture.
In my research, I found the old map of the slaugherhouse, and I am curious to compare it to the map of today in terms of spatial planning and system.
I also looked into some facts and numbers, including how many animals were butchered and slaughtered everyday.
Here are some links:
