Industrial architecture refers to the design and construction of buildings and structures that are primarily used for industrial purposes such as manufacturing, assembly, processing, storage, and distribution. Industrial architecture may include warehouses, factories, power plants, refineries, and transportation facilities such as ports, airports, and train stations. The key features of industrial architecture are robustness, functionality, and efficiency, with a focus on meeting the specific needs of the industrial process, while also addressing safety and environmental concerns. Industrial architecture often incorporates large open spaces, high ceilings, and utilitarian materials such as steel, concrete, and glass to create functional and durable structures that can withstand heavy machinery, equipment, and harsh operating conditions.
