The book "Post-industrial Places as a Subject of Transdisciplinary Research" is a fascinating journey into the world of post-industrial spaces that are transforming, taking on new functions, and becoming an arena for innovative cultural and social activities.

Katedra Wydawnictwo Naukowe presents a publication that combines cultural studies with philosophy and anthropology of place, as well as with fine arts and creative activities of designers and cultural practitioners. Such a combination allows to go beyond the existing research conducted in many fields. The key is to move from understanding design as merely an artistic and social intervention in post-industrial space to a design that would be an entry into the complex cultural interpretation of the place of the region, the identity of the place, the axiological and metaphysical foundations of the community, and the cultural experience.

Searching for a place, rooting, and home on the side of designing post-industrial space requires a meeting of orders of thinking and cultural experience to build a research path sensitive to time and place, cultural and historical depth. Extracting potential in the post-industrial past is also a call to responsibly inscribe oneself in the place. The authors of the publication take on the challenge of analyzing these processes, offering the reader a comprehensive and inspiring view of the transformation of post-industrial spaces.

This publication is an invitation to reflect on the industrial heritage and its impact on contemporary society. It is a valuable source of knowledge for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the topic of post-industrial places and their role in shaping our culture and identity. Thanks to the transdisciplinary approach, this book offers a unique perspective on the processes of spatial transformation and their significance for future generations. Number of pages: 218. Cover: paperback.
