The German equivalent of this would be the UNESCO World Heritage Sites where the industrial culture of
the Saarland and the Ruhr area can be seen. Our passion for the past and our pessimistic view of civilization is
unbroken.
A waterworks with its romantic background may be transformed into a parliamentary assembly; a car fac-
tory with a test track on the roof may be converted into an art gallery, trade fair centre, hotel, university and
shopping palace; but no company aware of its corporate identity is willing to attire itself in second-hand cloth-
ing. "History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We don't want tradition," the car manufacturer Henry Ford
said in 1916. With his modern concepts of financing and friendly service, Ford was far ahead of his time, and
he demonstrated this architecturally, too - with the aid of his company architect, Albert Kahn. A similar devel-
opmental leap would be conceivable for modern industry if it were to abandon its strongholds and integrate it-
self in a dynamic European city environment stripped of retrospective tendencies and open to experiment.
"More quality of life through the revitalization of the polis," as Siemens says. And the architects?
