New Haven Industrial Heritage Trails: Gallery Show

3rd Floor Gallery installation at the Yale School of Architecture of the New Haven Industrial Heritage Trails, a collaboration with the International Festival of Arts & Ideas.  Fourteen students in Arch 4233, Ghsot Town:  Abandonment, Preservation, and the Postindustrial Landscape, created critical heritage proposals for fourteen postindustrial sites in New Haven.  Read the accompanying pamphlet, PDF below, written by Elihu Rubin. 

“The New Haven Industrial Heritage Trails invite you to explore a group of buildings and landscapes that reflect New Haven’s history as an industrial city; a city of factories, coal-fired power plants, railroads, and trolleys.  The built legacy of industry is distributed across the city in different ways.  Some buildings have been adapted and reused.  Others remain dormant.  And there are those that are threatened by neglect.  In some cases, the buildings themselves are gone, but have left traces that can still be perceived.”
