What is Industrial Architecture?

Industrial architecture is a form of building design that emerged during the Industrial Revolution and continues to shape the spaces in which we work and live. A minimalist style of surface ornamentation, industrial materials, clean lines, flat roofs, protruding edges, and polished surfaces are all characteristics of industrial architecture. Over the previous few decades, this specific style has grown in favor. It is commonly accepted by individuals who choose to live in bustling industrial areas rather than in residential neighborhoods. 

4 Characteristics of Industrial Architecture

The design of an industrial building can vary depending on its purpose, but there are some common elements found across the spectrum of industrial architecture.

Wide-open spaces: Industrial buildings tend to have open floor plans and high ceilings.

Minimalist aesthetic: Industrial architecture tends to follow the philosophy of modern architecture by prioritizing functionality over ornamental flourishes.

Exposed materials and utilities: Exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and steel beams are commonly found inside industrial residential spaces. You’ll likely find exposed ductwork, wiring, and plumbing as well.

Natural light: Industrial architecture makes efficient use of natural light via large, metal-grid windows or floor-to-ceiling windows.
