Incremental Revitalization: Abandoned Industrial Buildings Vol 2 (original) (raw)

The aim of this paper is to explain the importance of re‐using valuable, un‐used buildings like outdated factories and revitalizing them by bringing them to the 21st century while at the same time, keeping a piece of their memory and their important contribution through their course of "life". The new users of the transformed building or site as well as the wider public will not only see the romantic and nostalgic side of a revitalized industrial building, but also its functional and financial contribution in the modern way of life where through sustainability of re‐use and respecting something old and neglected, can be brought back to life for something new and exciting.
