Oakley, Peter, 2015, Book Section, A Permanent State of Decay: contrived dereliction at heritage Mining Sites In: Orange, Hilary, (ed.) Reanimating Industrial Spaces. Left Coast Press. ISBN 9781611321685
Abstract or Description: | This chapter addresses the issue of site presentation at heritage mining sites. Oakley first discusses the development of a rationale for treating mining sites as heritage during the course of the 20th and 21st centuries. He then utilises case studies of two Alaskan sites: the mining town of Kennecott and the No8 Gold Dredge, to support his argument that a particular visual aesthetic of decay is now being exploited in such heritage locations. |
