It significantly influenced the look of the cities that were expanding in this era thanks to the industrialization. The primary condition for creating a high-quality architecture was adjusting the disposition and shape of the buildings to the manufacture process determining many parameters of the construction. The secondary condition, however a very important part of the industrial architecture, was its architectural style. Therefore we may say today without any doubt that the shape of the city was influenced not only by the formation of the factory, as the manufacturing site, but by its architecture as well. This paper deals with the elements affecting the architecture of the historical industrial zones. The most significant factors were the influence of the progress in the construction and the use of new materials. One of the most important things concerning the process of forming the industrial architecture was the experience of the investors from the previous realizations, or the choice of the architect and construction company capable of making the utility architecture the unique piece preserving in its original functional and architectural style. This paper is focused not only on these aspects, but also on many others aspects affecting the architectural style of the industrial architecture at the turn of the centuries. As an example, the city of Bratislava that developed into one of the most industrial cities in Hungarian part of former Austria-Hungary, will be used. |
