BA6: Factory Research

As Steampunk is based on what Victorian predictions of the future I thought it may be interesting to look at more modern factories, even if that is not necessarily how I expected them to look!

Metal pipes and frames give the factory an almost Steampunk feel already, combined with brick and the Victorian architectural style the factory should have the correct design and theme! Large metal cylinders which have slightly rusted also add to the Steampunk genre and will be included if possible.

Overall the research so far has given a general feel and design influence ready to start designing the factory itself. Important features will include:

  • Made of brick
  • Repetitive windows
  • Painted advertisements on walls
  • Tall walls
  • Pipes running along walls
  • Metal frameworks
  • Metal cylinders for storage of liquids
  • Overall run-down feel with rusting and decay
