Course Description:
Industrial Heritage landscapes have only recently been recognized as containing and representing significant legacies for local, regional, and global histories and identities. But the milestones of industrialization that often speak to a history of progress - a heritage of innovation (science & technology), infrastructure, and extraction live on in a variety of modern industrial sites, buildings and architecture, plants, machinery and equipment, as well as housing, industrial settlements, industrial landscapes, products and processes. These remnants of industrial societies are the legacies of processes of modernization, which have left an indelible mark on urban and rural landscapes across the world. This course offers a detailed examination of such legacies in a comparative approach, offering in-campus preparatory seminars on the positive and negative associations and management strategies of different industrial legacies in New Jersey, complemented with a comparative view of the industrial history, heritage and futures of a South American city (for 2025 Arica, Chile). Why and how are these landscapes incorporated into heritage languages and plans? What are the methodologies through which the experience of ‘the industrial’ can be documented and represented?
