From the Rust Belt to Silicon Valley, the intersection between
architecture and industry has provided a rich and evolving source
for historians of architecture. In a historical context, industrial
architecture evokes the smoking factories of the nineteenth century
or Fordist production complexes of the twentieth century. This book
documents the changing nature of industrial building and planning
from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the
twenty-first century. Drawing on research from the United States,
Europe and Australia, this collection of essays highlights key
moments in industrial architecture and planning representative of
the wider paradigms in the field. Areas of analysis include
industrial production, factories, hydroelectricity, aerospace,
logistics, finance, scientific research and mining. The selected
case studies serve to highlight architectural and planning
innovations in industry and their contributions to wider cultural
and societal currents. This richly illustrated collection will be
of interest for a wide range of built environment studies,
incorporating findings from both historical and theoretical
scholarship and design research.
