Sinopsis, this book explores recent trends in the planning of industrial
buildings, represented by a carefully selected series of
projects illustrated by working drawings, plans, photographs
and other constructive details that display the key aspects
of the design. It shows how far contemporary industrial
environments have moved away from those laconic edifi
cations that colonized our urban outskirts with bland hulks
of masonry and concrete. At the present time, this type of
construction is thought of as something more than the depositary
of progress and of dated industrial endeavors. We
are witnessing the development of more amiable spaces,
conceived for the wellbeing of their occupants, better
related to the environment, more aware of the ecological
repercussions their presence entails, yet maintaining
aesthetic links with the factories and industrial buildings of
former times. The works that feature in this book embody
the latest in productive workspaces, the realization of which
has become one of the most exciting creative challenges for
architects and designers.
