This article proposes to discuss artistic practices, especially theatrical ones, which have been appropriated from industrial, port, agricultural, and railway structures, starting from occupations ...with different spatial possibilities in deactivated indus-trial warehouses with heritage value. Such occupations seek to ensure a participatory relationship between stage and audience and establish a relevant role in the enjoy-ment between body and space outside the specific theatre building. On the grounds of the theoretical basis selected among An-glo-Saxon researchers who elaborate con-cepts on the topic, such as Marvin Carl-son, Juliet Rufford, and Andrew Filmer, the argumentative question of this re-search section was to investigate how in-dustrial structures have been appropriated in the Brazilian scene as performance spaces of different configurations.
O artigo propõe discutir práticas artís-ticas, em especial as teatrais, que têm se apropriado de estruturas industri-ais, portuárias, agrícolas e ferroviárias, partindo de ocupações de diferentes possibilidades espaciais em galpões industriais desativados de valor patri-monial. Tais ocupações buscam asse-gurar uma relação participativa entre palco e plateia e estabelecem papel re-levante na fruição entre o corpo e o es-paço, fora do edifício teatral especí-fico. À luz da fundamentação teórica selecionada entre pesquisadores an-glo-saxões que elaboram conceitos so-bre o tema, tais como Marvin Carlson, Juliet Rufford e Andrew Filmer, a questão argumentativa deste recorte da pesquisa foi investigar como estru-turas industriais vêm sendo apropria-das na cena brasileira como espaços de performance de distintas configurações.
Territory branding is a significant tool for promoting and increasing the tourist attractiveness of a region. An illustrative example is the “UNESCO World Heritage Site” brand, but this brand is not ...equally effective for every type of site, especially in industrialized regions. The solution to the problem of promoting such territories as tourist attractions can be the development of a generalizing brand of industrial cities, considering their specifics, demonstrating both the local identity and the global significance of industrial regions. The presence of such a brand will make it possible to include a greater number of industrial cities and monotowns in various tourist routes, as well as to dispel several stereotypes that negatively affect the perception of industrial cities. On the example of various forms of industrial tourism, the tourist potential of industrial cities is demonstrated, which, in turn, confirms the need for an integrated approach to promoting this type of tourism.
Faced with the controversies surrounding the Olympic Games (OG), they are moving towards a greater integration of local challenges – economic, social and environmental. Associating the hosting of ...such event with the urban regeneration policies appears to be a way to include them in longer planning periods, as well as ensure they are remembered. Presented as engines of transformations, they contribute to promotion of requalified and re-invested spaces that correspond better with the image of a competitive global city. The development of tourism strategies stems from this land promotion and appears as one of the economic outlets of the post-industrial transition. On the other hand, the reuse of industrial buildings helps build a positive image and a lasting legacy for the OG, as catalysts for regeneration of brownfields in crisis – as can be seen in the official Olympic narrative. Through the analysis of three case studies, this article aims to identify how does tourism development fit into these strategies that link industrial and Olympic heritage.
Industrial heritage buildings and sites are seen as an important part of urban regeneration and sustainable development strategies over the last two decades for a number of reasons. Of particular ...note is the genius loci that accompanies them, but also the potential to attract artists and creative industries. In this sense, factory chimneys are a strong visual element and also an important symbol. At the same time, thanks to their distinctive proportions, they have also become an unmissable part of the urban structure of cities, in which they can assume a compositional and orienting role (a landmark), comparable with church spires or belfries with all due respect. In order to design adaptive reuse of the chimney, it is therefore necessary to place it in a context that is not only spatial but also symbolic, both in relation to its immediate surroundings and in a wider context. Often, however, the subject of the new use of the chimney is only raised when at least the material context of the chimney was irreversibly altered; in extreme situations, the chimney is the only surviving element of the original structure. However, the lost authenticity – the originality of the preserved building structure or technological flow – also opens up new meanings and other possibilities for the use of a solitary chimney in a transformed environment. The contribution introduces adaptive reuse possibilities of the industrial chimneys within the sustainable urban development, considering both industrial heritage values and specific chimney construction limits.
Buildings of an industrial nature dated from the 1950s through '80s are often quite interesting from the standpoint of typology, architecture and technology, and correspond to the development of ...technological industrial efforts of that era. Still, they sit on the periphery of professional interest, in both the Czech Republic and abroad. The topic of industrial architecture which existed by the 1950s is already positioned in the professional spheres on the research and protection of industrial heritage, as well as the methodological development of industrial heritage. Industrial archaeology usually deals only with the industrialization period, and at the same time is difficult for contemporary researchers to postpone the debate forward. Our contemporary research thus plays very important role in evaluation of a typical and atypical examples of industrial buildings of that time. We continually lose many iconic buildings as well as a strata of historical culture as efforts are ongoing to determine both the ways we can protect this portion of industrial heritage and detail the problems that emerge in efforts to reuse it.

El paisatge industrial configura actualment un fenomen d'extraordinària complexitat i diversitat l'estudi del qual ha estat abordat tardanament per l'activitat científica en general. Aquest article ...té com a objectiu aprofundir en el coneixement d’aquests paisatges i avançar en el disseny d’una sèrie de directrius que serveixin de base metodològica per al seu estudi, posada en valor i intervenció des de la seva consideració patrimonial i cultural. El mètode emprat es basa en el coneixement previ d’aquests paisatges i de les tendències metodològiques més rellevants aplicades a l’estudi del paisatge des de la segona meitat del segle XX fins a l’actualitat en un àmbit de reflexió internacional i de caràcter interdisciplinari. Posteriorment, es procedeix a analitzar en quina mesura el conjunt d'enfocaments metodològics estudiats prèviament permeten donar resposta a les necessitats específiques dels paisatges generats per la decadència industrial. D'aquest estudi es conclou que actualment ens trobem amb una situació a nivell conceptual i metodològic insuficient per abordar en profunditat l'estudi i la intervenció d'aquests paisatges. Això confirma la necessitat d'avançar en l'aportació de millores i innovacions que condueixin al disseny d'una metodologia pròpia per a aquests paisatges que contempli, entre d'altres, qüestions com l'especificitat i la identitat pròpia, la complexitat, la diversitat d'escales de les quals participen, el seu caràcter dinàmic i altament antropitzat, etc. a través d'un mètode que abordi des del seu estudi fins a la gestió, integrant un enfocament interdisciplinari i incorporant l'ús d'eines digitals.
The industrial landscape currently configures a phenomenon of extraordinary complexity and diversity whose study has been belatedly approached by scientific activity in general. This article aims to deepen the knowledge of these landscapes and advance in the design of a series of guidelines that serve as a methodological basis for their study, enhancement and intervention from their heritage and cultural consideration. The method used is based on prior knowledge of these landscapes and the most relevant methodological trends applied to the study of the landscape from the second half of the 20th century to the present in an international and interdisciplinary field of reflection. Subsequently, we proceed to analyze to what extent the set of methodological approaches previously studied allow us to respond to the specific needs of those landscapes generated by industrial decline. From this study it is concluded that at present we find ourselves in a situation at a conceptual and methodological level that is insufficient to address in depth the study and intervention of these landscapes. This confirms the need to advance in the contribution of improvements and innovations that lead to the design of a methodology for these landscapes that considers, among others, issues such as their specificity and identity, their complexity, the diversity of scales in which they participate, its dynamic and highly anthropized character, etc. through a method that approaches from its study to its management, integrating an interdisciplinary approach and incorporating the use of digital tools.

This article discusses an oral history project that examines homer production at the Högfors Ironworks in Karkkila. This was a cooperative project of the University of Helsinki, the Finnish Labour ...Archives and the Finnish Foundry Museum in Karkkila. A “homer” (firabeli in Finnish) is an object made for one’s own benefit by a worker using his or her factory’s equipment and materials. The article focuses on ethical and methodological issues affecting the study of industrial oral history during the COVID-19 pandemic. What kind of practical and ethical challenges were faced, how could they be solved and how did they affect a project? These issues are reflected in relation to recent academic discussions on conducting oral history interviews during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the process in numerous ways. The conducting of interviews required a unique solution based on the local services of Karkkila. The risks for interviewers and interviewees were minimized. However, the downside was that a video interview during the long pandemic period might have been a psychologically stressing experience for some interviewees. The interviewees’ ideas about homer practices were similar to those of the previous oral history collections. The major distinction between the Karkkila collection and the previous collections lies in the foundry industry itself.
Global warming has increased the cooling energy consumption for the operation of built heritages, especially for industrial heritage which suffers from thermal performance deficiencies and are facing ...the dilemma of functional conversion. In order to satisfy the thermal comfort of users while preserving the value of the heritage, it is necessary to monitor the indoor environment and to analyze its impacts on thermal comfort of human beings. In present study, a cotton textile factory heritage located in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China, was selected, where a long-term investigation of indoor environmental conditions as well as thermal comfort were conducted over a period of 78 days. What's more, the temperature distribution in space field was analyzed by applying CFD simulation. The obtained results show that: i) the indoor temperature fluctuates greatly and the relative humidity as well as CO2 concentration maintain at a high level, failing to provide a satisfactory indoor environment; ii) For most of the time, users report complaints about thermal discomfort, with the hottest mean thermal sensation vote (TSV) being close to warm (1.76) and the worst mean thermal comfort vote (TCV) reaching uncomfortable (−1.60); iii) The deviation between PMV and TSV demonstrates the limitations of the Fanger's model when applied in industrial heritage, and the thermal comfort perception of users are influenced by indoor humidity, CO2 concentration and outdoor temperature. The performed analyses suggest that the indoor thermal environment of industrial heritage fails to keep pace with the transformation of its nature and function. These findings will provide basic research for the retrofitting of industrial heritage.

The urban fabric of cities is in constant flux. This paper is focused on two areas of former “Fotokemika” industrial complexes for production of photographic materials, located in Zagreb and Samobor. ...Complexes are analyzed based on previous studies, archive material and field research. The results compare their urban transformations in contemporary urban context with new uses. The aim is to detect urban, micro-urban and architectural characteristics in order to understand how they change through time within each city by comparing the initial contexts in the first half of the 20th century and contemporary situations followed in the period between 2020 and 2024.
