Silo D is a brewpub, regenerated from the dregs of brewing. Currently a derelict grain silo in the post-industrial district of Silvertown, the building is given a new lease of life as a brewery that houses an annual festival as part of the ongoing revitalisation of the Port of London. This process–along with the inevitable gentrification of the area–comes at the expense of its original community and risks leaving behind its industrial heritage; these are both features of the area that this project aims to preserve.

Elements of Silo D are designed to coexist in a continuous cycle. The emphasis on end-of-life sustainability has culminated in the construction of festival pavilions, facilitated by the vertical integration of the production, consumption, and waste processing of beer. Through various events driven by collective participation, the project proposes a methodology that visualises the behaviour of occupants within the building over time. This establishes the communal spaces of the festival pavilions as places where people from all walks of life can congregate, serving as a testament to the interaction between architecture and people.
