✦内容简介——

这是一次令人惊叹的摄影之旅，参观了 20 多个遗址——既有废弃的，也有运营的——它们都是美国工业遗产的象征。

美国文化和政治充斥着对该国工业历史的怀念，那时我们真正制造的是实物，而不是比特和字节的模式。但这段历史究竟是什么样子的？摄影师迈克尔·L·霍洛维茨走遍了整个东北部，寻找其遗迹，既有幸存至今的传统企业，也有退役的工厂和基础设施的废墟。他带我们走进的空间从私密到广阔，从纽约服装区的一家丝花工坊到布法罗隐约可见的谷物升降机，再到自 1914 年以来一直在运行的帕特森大瀑布水电站。霍洛维茨不仅以摄影师的眼光拍摄了这些地方，还以花时间详细了解其运作方式的人的眼光拍摄了这些地方——这种理解通过詹姆斯·霍尔杰生动而仔细研究的文字延伸到了读者身上。《工业大教堂》将吸引各种兴趣的读者，包括历史、建筑、工程和城市探索。

A stunning photographic tour of more than 20 sites both abandoned and operational that are emblematic of America's industrial heritage.

American culture and politics are shot through with nostalgia for the country's industrial past, a time when we actually made things physical things, not patterns of bits and bytes. But what did this past actually look like? Photographer Michael L. Horowitz has travelled throughout the Northeast in search of its remnants, both heritage businesses that have survived to the present and the ruins of decommissioned factories and infrastructure. The spaces he takes us inside range from the intimate to the vast from the last silk flower workshop in New York's Garment District to Buffalo's looming grain elevators and the Paterson Great Falls Hydroelectric Plant, in operation since 1914. Horowitz photographs these places with the eye not only of a photographer but of someone who has taken the time to understand their workings in detail an understanding that is extended to the reader through James Holtje's lively and carefully researched text. Cathedrals of Industry will appeal to readers with a variety of interests, including history, architecture, engineering, and urban exploration.
