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.
