ABSTRACT

The remnants of the industrial era exist in the margins of our cities. This article explores the ruins of a once ‘iconic’ building and the forms of graffiti which were found there, revealing insights into relationships to the built environment, memory, the fragility of capitalism and the transient forms of expression which are found in these abandoned spaces communicating an imbalance in our understanding of such structures, and perhaps warning of future outcomes of the profligacy of urban progress.

摘要

工业时代的残余存在于我们城市的边缘。本文探讨了曾经“标志性”建筑的废墟以及在那里发现的涂鸦形式，揭示了对建筑环境、记忆、资本主义的脆弱性以及在这些废弃空间中发现的短暂表达形式的关系的见解传达了我们对此类结构理解的不平衡，或许还警告了城市进步的挥霍的未来后果。
