Can Architecture Fix: Industrial Boom and Bust?

This week we are asking: Can Architecture Fix Industrial Boom and Bust!

Thomas Riis is an architect and member of the Greenland Counsel of Cultural Heritage. Thomas wrote an article for our Out of the Blue book which chronicled the story about how the fishing industry quickly changed waterfront sites around Greenland that had previously been completely untouched, and how that industry just as quickly disappeared, leaving remnants of a community behind. These sites have since become a point of contention in the cultural heritage discussion.
