Industrial Spaces

Summary/Abstract: Industrial buildings, factory buildings, production complexes ... all these facilities are most often associated negatively, еspecially in our country. These terms have a similar or identical meaning, and for a large part of the society, including a certain part of the architectural community, they are bound mainly by the complicated, even ‘scaring’ image of the production process, the huge machines and facilities, and the large, rough buildings that shelter them. Particularly strong emotions (negative or positive) cause the deserted buildings arisen as a reflection of the Industrial Revolution onto Bulgaria dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. For some people – a small community with a strange interest in abandoned buildings called ‘urban explorers’ – these empty buildings are causing the thrill of an extreme experience, for other people – a perfect action movies setting... But for the guardians of our cultural heritage and for those who are addicted to the beauty of industrial architecture these buildings are giving rise to fascination and excitement of the spaces that these large industrial shelters reveal. At the same time their pitiful state is causing anxiety.
