Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze the specific experience of visiting active industrial spaces and to describe the ways in which different industrial spaces communicate with their urban and social environment. Three examples of such interactions and spatial experiences are examined in the article: the BMW 6.10 Plant and the Danube River cargo port Bayernhafen, both located in Regensburg, Germany, and the Uljanik Shipyard in Pula, Croatia. Throughout the search for a methodological framework, certain analytical hubs are recognized and used as the foundation for and a frame of reference from which an observation, description and autoethnographic moves can be performed, and the analysis initiated. Following a brief introductory overview, a presentation of the experiences of visiting industrial facilities follows. This is followed by a comparison and further analysis.
