Industrial Heritage

Modernisme? No. Noucentisme? No. Rationalism? The avant-garde? None of these would exist. None of the ideas or approaches that have shaped the city over the past two centuries would make sense without its working-class roots. Today, former industrial spaces have become centres of cultural and creative activity, both locally and internationally.
