Facing a decline in industrial production and potential vacancy in the north of Maastricht, the ‘Readymades’ by French artist Marcel Duchamp were investigated as an approach to reuse of industrial architecture. With the artworks being mundane, ordinary objects that were only slightly modified, their placements in unusual contexts like art galleries manages to create new associations in an exciting contrast to what the objects originally were. At the core of this graduation project stands the question of how this approach to art can be transferred to an architectural scale, giving the opportunity to revive leftover structures without disguising their history.
