VOLCAN
SPERM BANK
Imagine being given the freedom to reimagine the iconic Cooling Tower IM in Charleroi, a structure steeped in history and architectural intrigue. What could be a more bold and daring use for this towering industrial relic than... a sperm bank?
IMAGINE
The iconic Cooling Tower IM in Charleroi has stood as a monumental symbol of industrial power. Its dramatic, volcano-like form has long captured the imagination. Now, imagine transforming this iconic structure into a cutting-edge sperm bank, where its historic role evolves into a new mission. This new purpose breathes the essence of creation itself.
IDENTITY
The design elements echo the geometric patterns of the cooling tower, integrating them into a modern and striking visual identity. This approach not only honors the building’s past but also emphasizes its new role in a fresh, innovative way.
The name "Volcan" is a deliberate nod to the Cooling Tower's volcano-like shape. This choice also playfully hints at the resemblance between the eruption of a volcano and the act of ejaculation, all connecting the building’s form with its innovative role as a sperm bank.
