INDUSTRIAL

ARCHITECTURE
.
 DEFINATION
Industrial architecture is a branch of
architecture that focuses on the design,
planning, and construction of buildings and
structures that are used for industrial
purposes. This type of architecture is
concerned with creating functional and
efficient spaces that are specifically tailored
to the needs of industrial processes and
production.
The evolution of industrial architecture is closely linked to
the growth of industrialization and the development of new
materials, technologies, and building methods. Industrial
architecture emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries,
as factories and other industrial buildings began to be built on
a larger scale.

The first industrial buildings were often simple structures

made of wood or brick, with little consideration for aesthetics
or design. However, as the Industrial Revolution progressed,
architects and builders began to experiment with new
materials and techniques, leading to the development of new
types of industrial architecture.
