Abstract
In the context of the post-industrial city, an urban regionalism has evolved through dormant industrial systems. Transportation infrastructure and industrial spaces have taken on a perceived sense of use and memory within the realm of the urban landscape, but these elements are typically forgotten in the creation and formulation of land-use. Current architectural and urbanistic focus increasingly tackles the role of disused infrastructural space and decommissioned industry as they interact with the contemporary city. This thesis investigation focuses on Birmingham's Railroad District - replete with its industrial heritage, historic relic, fallow ground, decommissioned remnants and regional character - to establish parameters that situate design within the District's lineage. The historic, industrial character of the region becomes a design measure in which to engage these urban conditions.
