  • This article is a reprint of the original published in the journal Ezelsoren, Bulletin of the Institute of History of Art, Architecture and Urbanism (IHAAU) of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). It appeared in Volume III, Number 3, 2012 and is, as indicated in the text, a sample of how far "the very extensive number of buildings constructed since the beginning of  industrialization in relation to many technical purposes, from railway stations to slaughterhouses, from power plants to coal mines, haven´t been  sufficiently studied in relation to their ornamental and sculptural systems, which in turn represent the reaction of the arts to the course of technological development.” An artistic material still largely unexplored whose wealth is  waiting to be unveiled as an eloquent field of interpretation of the past.
