Summary:Industrial heritage represents an opportunity for architects and designers to combine a building’s robust form with creative solutions. A former methanol factory in Skien used as art hall, and a former paper mill in Moss used as a music venue, exemplify the ways in which cultural provisions for a diverse urban population can be accommodated.

The results are discussed in light of the societal responsibility to find long-lasting, sustainable solutions in urban development.
