Industrial heritage and art. Contemporary adaptations of post-industrial architecture in the selected areas of Upper Silesia and Dąbrowa Coal Basin

Original language description

The primary scope of this study is concerned with architectural achievements related to the adaptation and redevelopment design of post-industrial heritage in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. In an era of concern for natural resources, shrinking land reserves in the urban structure and increasing social awareness, decisions are being taken more and more often to adapt buildings for the benefit of preserving cultural heritage. This encourages the rescue of single elements perpetuating cultural identity at the local level such as places associated with tradition and the history of material culture, &quot;witnesses to history&quot;, nomenclature, etc. There is an apparent drive to preserve historic buildings, complexes of buildings or landscape elements, especially post-industrial ones. This is the result of a consensus between the managers of the historic fabric and the heritage conservation community. Understood as a cultural asset, post-industrial sites can be preserved for future generations when they are safeguarded, adapted and their functional programmes and links to their surroundings reintegrate them into the life of the city.The arts are integrated into the museum and temporary art activities. The universal language of the message is a tool to focus public interest, encourage visits to the revitalised buildings and create a brand and prestige for the place. These efforts require a personalised approach, without compromising the authenticity and perception of the historic fabric. Since the preparation of the exhibition by the Capitoline Museums in the Centrale Montemartini (the first public power station) in via Ostiense in Rome (1997 - the first Machine and Gods exhibition, since 2005 a permanent exhibition [1]), the marriage of art and industry has contributed to a new exhibition canon. The contrasting juxtaposition of so-called high art and the aesthetics of technical equipment within a single exhibition broadened the audience. Since then, the heritage of the industrial era has increasingly become the backdrop for artistic and exhibition activities, creating a synergy of art, especially contemporary art and industrial legacy. These processes can be seen in the case of the adaptation of post-industrial heritage in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin.The aim of this article is to show, using selected examples, the ways in which adaptations of post-industrial buildings for exhibition purposes are carried out. The summary alsohighlights similarities and differences in the approach to the revitalisation of such facilities on post-mining sites in today&apos;s southern Poland and eastern Czech Republic.
