Overlooking the East River, very close to Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn shows its new landmark. An
\nindustrial building built in 1898 was restored by the office of New York ODA which fully cut out the
\nfa\u00e7ade made of bricks overlooking the waterfront and replaced it with one made of glass and steel
\ncharacterised by its multifaced geometries.
\nWhereas ODA did not intervene on the interiors of this ten-storey block and decided to leave them
\nin their raw state waiting for the colonization by the local community.
\nAs a consequence of the change of the USA economy \u2013 and in general of the western one \u2013 the old
\nsugar factory was converted into an incubator of creative energies. The contemporary
\nintervention, however, does not delete the industrial essence of this building which, like the whole
\nBrooklyn district, proudly keeps its productive and labouring character.<\/p>\n
