The pavilion-eque office enclosure-within-an-enclosure walks a fine line between jarring juxtaposition and seamless integration. Floating within the vaulted industrial void, the modernist box offers a cozy setting for desks and conference tables. And yet, full-height glass panels bring in heaps of natural light. Overall, the clever design intervention managed to transform a heavy industrial setting [...]Read More... from Architecture firm AMAA embraces industrial decay with the design of its own factory-squatted office

Sustainability in business is the concept of conducting business in a way that doesn’t harm the environment, society, or future generations, involving a fine balancing act between economic, environmental, and social factors in decision-making and operations.

Though a lot of ruins leave us with the shivers, there’s a good reason to fear these abandoned power stations. They’re full of dangerous substances and deadly gadgets. Plus, how can you really be sure they’ve been entirely shut down? You could be in for the shock of your life. Powerplant IM, Belgium (viaTelefunker/Flickr and Danny Barter/HDROne) The Yonkers (or Glenwood) Power Station, New York City It was completed in 1906 to make the electrification of the New York Central Railroad possible, but from 1936 the public transport company purchased its electricity instead of generating its own. The station is abandoned since 1968. (via abandonednyc and Flickr/Pro-Zak) Cherokee Nuclear Power Plant, near Gaffney, South Carolina One reactor was only partially completed between the early 1970s and 1982, when the work was halted due to economic problems. Five years later it was a filming location for James Cameron’s sci-fi thriller The Abyss, made this place to the largest underwater movie set in the world. (via OpenBuildings) Westport Power Plant, Baltimore, Maryland At the time of its construction, in 1906, it was the world’s largest reinforced concrete power plant. (via Abandoned History, sublimeobserver/Flickr and opacity) A power plant in Västerås, central Sweden It was built between 1915 and 1917 with ten small boilers and a 7 MW turbine. Later it was improved with giant vertical boilers, the largest ones in Europe. The plant was closed in 1992, but it’s almost intact. (via pbase/Jakob Ehrensvärd, John Eklund and Björn Sahlberg/Flickr) Port Richmond (or Eagle River) Generating Station, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The Neo-classical style building, designed for the Philadelphia Electric Company by John Windrim and engineer William C. L. Eglin, was built between 1919 and 1925. It housed the world’s largest Westinghouse-system turbo-generator. The power station operated for six decades before it was closed in 1985. (via Shadowsandrust) Centrale Thermique Terres Rouges, Luxembourg Built in 1951 to convert furnace gases (which are released by the melting of the steel) to electricity. (via Telefunker/Flickr) Thorpe Marsh Power Station, Doncaster, United Kingdom The prototype for all British modern power stations, the Thrope Marsh was a 1 Gigawatt coal-fired power station, operated between the early 1960s and 1994. The station was demolished in the 2000s, and the original six cooling towers were pulled down in 2012. (via 28dayslater and Wikimedia Commons) Toronto Power Company Generating Station, Niagara Falls, Canada It went online in November 1906 with eleven turbines, and worked for almost even decades. It was shut down February 15 1974. Thanks to the Beaux-Arts architecture now it’s like a steampunk haunted mansion. (via Opacity.us) “Franklin Power Plant”, somewhere in the USA (via Opacity.us)
Rotting hulks of metal, homeless boys living in silos and forgotten space tech that still watches us … artists and photographers show our out-of-control industrial land- and spacescape
Photographer Michael Schwan travels across Europe, visiting castles, villas, theaters, hotels, and universities that have been deserted and left behind.
View Large on Black The decommissioned Mare Island Naval Shipyard is a fantastic decaying industrial setting, a wonderful place to spend an evening. This was my first real attempt at night photography with a tripod. While processing this image, I noticed that a couple of my classmates were visible at the left corner of the Quonset hut. © All rights reserved
Variegated decay and abandonment are the protagonists of Trojnarski’s work – dissolving dwellings and orphaned amusement parks, rusted ship hulls and the rickety edifices of a civilization desperately denying its own condition and fate. Focusing on the architectural remains and industrial excess of an economic fall-out, Trojnarski examines how humanity’s true strengths can be dwarfed by the greed and myopia of a dominant few, leaving those affected clinging to their residual past and wondering what went wrong. In this investigation, Trojnarski creates a certain Baudelairean beauty; fractured planes propel outward, sustained by unfaltering scaffolds and solid foundations, all brilliantly illuminated under awash of radiant light. A heroic optimism motivates the apparent wreckage, demonstrating the vast potentiality for change and regrowth. She explains, ‘This exhibition is a dichotomy of attraction and rejection, temptation and redemption.’ These ‘seductive still lifes of destruction,’ caught in arrested motion like a neglected construction site, hauntingly bear witness to the traumas within our collective memory. Like skeletons of their former selves, the images seem to lament an irrevocable loss while implicitly calling for an effort to move forward and rebuild the twisted spine of social conscience.
Since 2011, Hungarian photographer Tamas Dezso has been photographing the industrial decay of Romania, capturing forgotten factories, villages and people.
