NARRATIVES ON INDUSTRY AND CITIES
Industrial heritage probably reflects the most coherent discourse of continuity between past, present, and future. Industrial sites also encapsulate dichotomic connotations, from places of the avant-garde to derelict spaces, from strong images of empowerment, emancipation, and even propaganda to areas of decay, of marginalized societies. However, as they once were triggers of modernization, industrial sites can be today powerful vectors of change, real engines for social and economic community regeneration.
We address industrial artifacts, but also less-discussed areas of industrial heritage: the positive or negative inheritance, identity of industrial civilization, archive / documentation and reuse – future development.
