Architecture has an important role to play in the refurbishment and renovation of existing building stock, often leading to the wholesale regeneration of run‐down and derelict areas. Hubert Trammer looks at how the redevelopment of five disused industrial sites in Poland has been driven by the need for new educational and cultural facilities and the widespread availability of abandoned manufacturing bases.
