ABSTRACT This article summarises the assessment of industrial heritage in Greece and revisits the remains of Glavanis Ironworks in Volos, shedding new light on the significance of this remarkable industrial building. It employs a value-based approach as a methodology, involving the documentation of surviving industrial buildings as well as the analysis of unpublished archival data. The detailed examination of Glavanis Ironworks illustrates how under-represented, derelict and at-risk industrial structures can provide evidence for overlooked industrial heritage values.

ABSTRACT This piece problematises Daniel Headrick’s 1981 work on 19th-century telegraphy: Tools of Empire. Instead of viewing the telegraph as a neat Imperial tool, this piece deconstructs the cables into its messy constituent parts, teasing out the international landscapes of people and materials linked by them. We move from the colonial copper-smelters in Chile to the indigenous gutta-percha collectors of Sarawak; from the peasant tar-burners of rural Sweden to the turpentine workers trapped in camps in the postbellum American south; from the partying jute-growers of Bangladesh to the roaming cable engineers on the Indian Ocean. This piece uncovers the people, the struggles, the indigenous knowledge and the hidden work that went into a key piece of 19th-century technology.

ABSTRACT The architects Stott & Sons were responsible for the works of the Linotype Company at Broadheath near Altrincham, Cheshire, in 1896–9. A housing estate was developed in association with the works from 1897. This was laid out on the lines of later garden suburb planning with curving roads and short terraces, providing superior housing for the workforce. The houses, in four types of varying size and rental value, are of picturesque cottage style of somewhat eccentric appearance. Census records show that occupancy of the types of houses depended more on family size and the number of wage earners rather than place in the works’ hierarchy. There was mildly paternalistic thinking behind the estate, but provision was also influenced by commercial motives and a lack of existing housing. A second stage of housing was designed by the company's own drawing office following disagreements with Stott & Sons. The estate was never completed to its originally intended size, although it survives largely intact and is now a conservation area.

past. In the last chapter the authors deal with a larger scale issue — the relationship between the adaptive reuse of factories and urban regeneration of districts and cities. For this purpose, former industrial zones in Turin, Milan, Venice and Rome were examined. Again, readers may see some of the previously described industrial sites, this time shown from a different angle. There is no typical concluding chapter. However, this gap is filled by an epilogue (or afterword) by Giovanni Luigi Fontana — a former president of AIPAI, a professor of architecture, and an outstanding specialist in the field of industrial heritage protection. What is more, the lack of a traditional summary opens an opportunity for readers to draw their own conclusions, as Eduardo Curra indicated in his foreword. Regarding the structure of the book, a comparison of a particular building ‘as it was’ and ‘as it is’ might be problematic and demanding for readers, who have to look back and forth through the content of two chapters. It would be much easier to follow if some guidance or index was provided. The book is fully bilingual (in English and Italian), and richly illustrated. The authors tried to find a balance between the visually appealing photographs and plans as well as diagrams. It is always a difficult task, to make content interesting for different circles of readership. In this case, not only images but also the text seem to be successful in this respect. The book is a valuable supplement to the literature on adaptive reuse, which— at least in Europe— is becoming a leading trend in architectural activity, and in view of the need to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry, its importance can only increase. At the same time, technological progress means that subsequent industrial buildings will lose their original purpose, so the reviewed publication is not only an excellent summary of Italian achievements but also a reference material for researchers and a source of inspiration for designers preparing further projects to adapt factories.
过去。在最后一章中,作者讨论了一个更大范围的问题——工厂的适应性再利用与地区和城市的城市更新之间的关系。为此目的,对都灵、米兰、威尼斯和罗马的前工业区进行了审查。同样,读者可能会看到前面描述的一些工业场所,这一次从不同的角度展示。没有典型的结束语。然而,这一空白被Giovanni Luigi Fontana——AIPAI的前主席、建筑学教授、工业遗产保护领域的杰出专家——的后篇(或后篇)所填补。更重要的是,缺乏传统的总结为读者提供了一个得出自己结论的机会,正如Eduardo Curra在他的前言中指出的那样。关于这本书的结构,比较一座特定的建筑“过去的样子”和“现在的样子”可能会有问题,对读者来说也很吃力,因为他们必须在两章的内容中来回看。如果提供一些指导或指数,就会容易得多。这本书是完全双语的(英语和意大利语),插图丰富。作者试图在视觉上吸引人的照片和平面图以及图表之间找到平衡。如何让内容对不同的读者群产生兴趣,始终是一项艰巨的任务。在这种情况下,不仅图像,而且文本似乎在这方面是成功的。这本书是对适应性再利用文献的宝贵补充,至少在欧洲,适应性再利用正在成为建筑活动的主要趋势,鉴于需要减少建筑行业的碳足迹,它的重要性只会增加。与此同时,技术进步意味着随后的工业建筑将失去其原有的目的,因此,审查出版物不仅是意大利成就的优秀总结,也是研究人员的参考材料,也是设计师准备进一步改造工厂项目的灵感来源。

ABSTRACT A survey of millstone and grindstone production sites in the western Pennines of north-west England has identified 54 sites. Combining archival research with field survey, the production of millstone roughouts was identified at varying scales at each site, with evidence for the production of grindstones and edge runners apparent at several of the sites. Very few of these production sites have received attention from past researchers and some were previously unrecorded. The survey has enabled a detailed picture to be compiled of production methods, sales and transportation of roughouts from the medieval period to the early 20th century. Various case studies are used to illustrate the nature of this lost rural industry.

ABSTRACT The architects Stott & Sons of Manchester are chiefly known for their work in designing cotton mills, but in 1896–9 they were responsible for the works and adjoining housing estate of the Linotype Company at Broadheath near Altrincham, Cheshire. This early example of an electrically powered factory, located on an early example of an industrial park, was built for the manufacture of the Linotype hot-metal typesetting machines that had been developed in America. It used mainly American machinery and can be seen as illustrating the loss of British technological supremacy. The main part of the works was of a single storey, built on the weaving shed principle, and fronted by an elaborate office building. Electrical power was generated on site in a large power house containing reciprocating steam engines driving DC generators. The works has now been largely demolished, although the office building has been converted for residential use and a few other features have been retained in the modern redevelopment.
