Architecture of Industrial Heritage

Study of material remains and other architectural heritage from the industrial past. The study of industrial archeology in the context of the modern understanding of heritage from earlier historical periods, which previously had a function in infrastructure, industry, railways, the army, mining, shipbuilding and other similar branches of human activity. Developing the ability of analytical work and documentation of objects and complexes of industrial archaeology. Recognizing the possibility of development of objects of industrial archeology and their second life.

Students gain knowledge about the scope and concept of industrial archeology in the modern context of researching material and immaterial remains from earlier historical eras. Knowledge is gained on a universal approach to problems, generic analysis of examples, and application of methodology to selected examples from the environment. Approaches to architectural units - remnants of industrial units - are studied as potential places for new functions and use in a modern context.
