ABSTRACT
The development of production always brings about changes in the landscape, with the emergence of new architectural and technological elements. Due to the changes in technologies and as a result of geopolitical processes, often the existing plants are no longer used or new production facilities built, and thus the post-industrial landscapes emerge. Over time, those once so important production facilities have become the main feature of the identity of a particular site, which is associated not only with visual, but also mental recognisibility of the site through traditions, products manufactured and memories of the local people.
Together, this all forms an industrial heritage whose
preservation or inclusion in a new modern image, with the emergence of
post-industrial landscapes, is becoming an increasingly topical issue. This
article deals with the industrial heritage landscape of the Lielupe River in
Latvia. Since ancient times the Lielupe River, as one of the largest rivers in
Latvia with rich mineral resources, has been an important element in the
development of economic activities and production in Latvia. The aim of the
research was to identify the causes of the formation of industrial heritage and
its impact on the Lielupe cultural landscape. As a result of the research, the
main visual and spatial features created by the industrial heritage have been
identified in various significant historical periods in Latvia including the
present time.
