INIK strategy:
The heat supply station should regain consciousness of the inhabitants as a living industrial monument and strengthen the city environment with cultural use. It is important to communicate this object as a whole. The interconnection between the long-term use and admission of alternative temporary uses is of great importance for the revitalization of the quarter and the city of Forst.

Background:
The former heat supply station Avellis is a valuable industrial building. It is situated in the neighborhood of an administrative and education center at the Inselstraße. The localization of the heat supply station evidences not only the urban development of the industrial area at Mühlgraben, but also emphasizes its central function in the urban setting. The Heinrich-Werner-Straße, closed with the imposing façade of the boiler house as „point de vue“, is the direct connection with the city center and the railway station. In the East it is attached to the valuable landscape of the river Neiße.
