Industrial facilities have been dispersed across the American and European landscapes since the early Nineteenth century. Also, their activity encouraged the growth of a vast global network of logistical, mining, and agricultural infrastructures. Yet, since the late 1960s, a significant number of productive sectors have been gradually dismantled as a result of technical advancement, obsolescence, and changes in industrial regulations. The repurposing of “brownfields”, as abandoned industrial sites have been dubbed, became a topic of discussion in the architectural community. In the 1980s, this circumstance presented an amazing opportunity to modernise the layout of Western cities. Yet, contemporary critical views on the nature and effects of industrialism, societal transformations, and awareness of the environmental crisis at the turn of the Twentieth century call for refocusing the architectural discussion regarding brownfields. In this essay, case studies are examined and set against the backdrop of an expanding conversation in architecture regarding sustainability.

后期制作。建筑设计与去工业化景观

自十九世纪初以来，工业设施就分散在美国和欧洲各地。此外，他们的活动还促进了庞大的全球物流、采矿和农业基础设施网络的发展。然而，自 20 世纪 60 年代末以来，由于技术进步、陈旧和工业法规的变化，大量生产部门逐渐被拆除。“棕地”（废弃的工业场地被称为“棕地”）的重新利用成为建筑界讨论的话题。20世纪80年代，这种情况为西方城市布局现代化提供了绝佳的机遇。然而，当代对工业主义、社会变革的本质和影响的批判观点，二十世纪之交对环境危机的认识要求重新关注有关棕地的建筑讨论。在这篇文章中，案例研究是在建筑界关于可持续性的不断扩大的对话的背景下进行审查和设置的。
