The revitalization and transformation of post-industrial brownfields is an important topic throughout Europe and North America. The rediscovery of these places started in Germany with the refurbishment of an abandoned steelworks factory in 1991 by Peter Latz which was transformed into Duisburg Nord Landscape Park. In the redesign, industrial relics were not demolished or converted but perceived as integral parts of the overall concept and then imbued with new meaning and use.
