This mobile AR project showcases the economic, social, and cultural influences of Sulaimani City’s first factory, the former Cigarette Factory, now known as the Culture Factory. By integrating location-based storytelling with witness testimonies, the interactive tour engages users with the factory’s transformative impact on the city and its people. It also unveils unheard-of or little-heard stories and encourages reflections on how industrial rise and fall can create and transform a vibrant economic and social center into an abandoned ghost complex, and how such neglected spaces can be repurposed into a creative hub.
