- industrial architecture
- What is industrial architecture? It is just an industrial plant or something else? In Montreal we have very good examples of industrial architecture dating back to the second half of 19th century. But how industrial plants work is not clear. What is a flow chart? How has the product influenced the design of the building? How does the personal taste of the owner affect the physical appearance of the factory? What is the contribution of the architect and the engineer ? Because industrial architecture is always in research of new ways of building it is less conservative than vernacular architecture. So, many contemporary key architects are borrowing from industrial building to create their projects. Iron, steel, glass, concrete were practically always used first on industrial building. Those buildings became test grounds for new architectural technology.
