Research on industrial legacies has been a productive avenue for architectural historians, providing an opportunity to engage actively with the study and recovery of altered landscapes.

In this event, speakers will present different conceptual and methodological ways to approach the post-industrial landscape, from infrastructural research to social history and memory and the potential of archives.
