Industrial buildings from 1950s – 1980s, often architecturally, typologically and technologically very interesting, representing the development of technology industrial efforts of that era, are still only on the fringe of professional interest - not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide. Industrial architecture built by the second half of the 20th century has already acquired its place in the professional debate on research and protection of industrial heritage and within the methodology of industrial heritage. Industrial archeology generally still deals only with a period of industrialization and it seems hard also for contemporary researchers to postpone the debate forward. Our contemporary research thus plays very important role in evaluation of a typical and atypical examples of industrial buildings of that time. While trying to formulate how this layer of industrial heritage can be protected and what problems can be encountered in efforts to reuse it, we are losing many iconic buildings and even an interesting cultural layer.
