All previous three industrial revolutions shaped the site of the Opel factory in Bochum, Germany through great spatial, economical and social impacts. Once a symbol of prosperous growth and structural change, this monument of mass-manufacturing is now closed and being demolished. On the remaining Ruins of Capitalism this project proposes a new direction for another fourth industrial revolution. Building up on the old industry, the last remaining hall of the factory will be transformed to an Incubator of a Revolution that is collaborative and open in nature and will give growth to a commons-based local industry. Ultimately it forms a Foundation for Transportation that allows the emergence of a new planning paradigm evolving out of the open-source culture and utilizing new technologies in the most reasonable and trustworthy way.
