Bemerkung:

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Text dänisch und englisch. - Mention alcohol, tobacco and cement and one immediately thinks of Aalborg! The smell of fusel oil, the aroma of tobacco leaves, and the sight of cement dusted houses were for many years the epitome of the enterprising city by the Limfjord. From the mid-1800s on there was a proliferation of industry in the old medieval city, and by the 1890s tall factory smokestacks and their pillars of smoke dominated the city's silhouette. Now a century later the city is once again undergoing great change. The heavy industry is being shut down or moved outside the city. Factories are being demolished and replaced by offices and housing. Amidst the delight in ridding the city of industry, where it has polluted and made noise, the unique architectonic value also housed in factory buildings has been overlooked. It is high time to question what ought to be salvaged from demolition for the sake of preservation and new use. Drawing inspiration from abroad, one can seek new ways of utilizing industrial areas, and therewith preserve some of the city's profile and identity. Seven industrial plants have been selected for the exhibition, representative of different periods ottime and building types: Zincks Fabrikker, Carl Christensen A/S, De Danske Spritfabrikker A/S, C.W. Obels Tobaksfabrikker A/S, Dansk Eternit A/S, Aalborg Portland A/S and Nordkraft (ELSAM-Aalborgvaerket A/S). The factories are portrayed through historic and topical photographs, architectural models, machines, raw materials and final end products. ISBN 8798913808
