MAKING THE PLUS

Industrial factories are major contributors to air pollution  toxic spills  and the emission of
greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Manufacturing remains critically important to both the
developing and the advanced world  but it must change. Fast. In 2020  the Norwegian design
furniture manufacturer Vestre decided to prove that another future of industrial production is
possible. Together with the Danish architects of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) they worked out
plans for a green factory while preserving the surrounding recreational Norwegian forests: The
Plus. The wooden building has been planned to achieve the world's highest sustainability rating
BREEAM Outstanding  as well as to be a public space  a destination for people to visit and
enjoy. Thus began a challenging yet exciting journey toward building "the world's most
environmentally friendly furniture factory." Making The Plus takes readers through the
construction process of the world's most environmentally friendly furniture factory  documented
from the very beginning by renowned photographer Einar Aslaksen. It also broadens our view on
how architecture  industry  nature  and public space must be completely intertwined in our move
toward a sustainable future. It aims to be a manifesto for the "green shift."  VESTRE is an
Oslo-based urban furniture maker with offices all over the world. For more than 75 years  the
family-owned company has been driven by the mission to create social and caring public meeting
places for millions of people. It is committed to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
