Re:Industrial City will interrogate the post-industrial condition and subsequent design strategies of preservation or demolition, which invariably transform sites of production into sites of leisure or consumption. The panel will discuss how the process and imagery of industrial ruination frames our relation to these sites and their potentials, and how new modes of urbanism might support alternate outcomes.
