There are still free places available on the next online East-West Workshop on Industrial Archaeology, run by the AIA. This 5th workshop explores the architecture created for or by industry, and how the post-industrial society transforms and repopulates the spaces of the industrial period.

The focus will be on China, England, Greece, and Spain to discuss current issues, trends, theoretical and methodological frameworks, and creative approaches in the research, protection, and exploration of historical industrial architecture.

The East-West series of workshops aims to exchange ideas and knowledge among Western and Eastern colleagues to build a more international and diverse industrial archaeology. The activity is organised jointly by the Institute for Cultural Heritage and History of Science & Technology (USTB, China), the UK Association for Industrial Archaeology, and its Young Members Board.
