Description
Industrial Ruins: A Study of Space, Aesthetics and Materiality
Tim Edensor explores the often-overlooked sites of industrial ruins in Western cities, which offer a unique aesthetic that contrasts with the manicured landscapes of urban development.
The book reveals how these fragmented spaces evoke an aesthetics of disorder, surprise, and sensuality, blurring boundaries between past and present, rural and urban, and memory, desire, and place. With stunning illustrations throughout, it celebrates industrial ruins as a source of insight into our relationship with space and materiality.
