Abstract(s)
El Patrimonio Industrial fabril es un tema de investigación todavía muy reciente, especialmente en comunidades como Galicia en las que no ha existido una fuerte industrialización, en relación a otras ciudades españolas, pero eso no quiere decir que no se haya dado una gran industria en su contexto y buenos ejemplos de arquitectura industrial. Por este motivo, la presente investigación pretende esclarecer la realidad actual de los bienes que componen el Patrimonio Industrial fabril de la ciudad de A Coruña, construido entre los años 1880 y 1940, correspondiente a la Segunda Revolución Industrial, en la que la industria ya estaba mecanizada.
El objeto de estudio de la investigación son las fábricas con producción mecanizada, en la categoría de conjuntos industriales (Plan Nacional de Patrimonio Industrial), por ser el lugar por excelencia donde se concentraban los procesos productivos, y por tanto, el bien que mejor representa la arquitectura industrial. Los objetivos se centraron, en primer lugar, en la identificación del Patrimonio Industrial fabril existente y destruido en la ciudad, después de esta identificación se procedió a la clasificación de los edificios existentes en función de su estado actual, determinando que edificios industriales están abandonados, cuales conservan su función fabril o las estructuras existentes que presentan cambios de uso asociados no industriales. Finalmente, se definieron las características de las estructuras existentes con cambios de uso asociados, ya que la rehabilitación y reutilización de los bienes industriales es uno de los objetivos principales de la Arqueología Industrial.
La metodología de este trabajo se basó fundamentalmente en dos fases: la primera fase se corresponde con el estudio cuantitativo, en el que se ha realizado el inventario (marco muestral) que ha sido la base de toda la investigación, ya que no existía un inventario previo del que partir. La segunda fase de la investigación se corresponde con el estudio cualitativo comparativo de casos de estudio, en el que se han descrito los edificios existentes, analizando en profundidad aquellos que actualmente presentan nuevas funciones, ya que la rehabilitación y reutilización de las estructuras fabriles es uno de los objetivos principales de la Arqueología Industrial. Los casos de estudio se han analizado en base a su funcionalidad y su versatilidad (lugar/espacio/adaptabilidad estructural), mediante la triangulación de datos obtenidos del análisis documental, de la observación y de las entrevistas realizadas.
Los procesos históricos y la caracterización de los bienes industriales documentados en el marco teórico han quedado corroborados a lo largo de la investigación realizada. Por tanto, se ha contestando de forma fundamentada a la pregunta de partida: ¿Qué se está haciendo con el Patrimonio Industrial fabril en A Coruña? y a la subpregunta derivada de esta, ¿Qué características presentan los edificios industriales que se han conservado?
En definitiva, el trabajo ha contribuido a esclarecer la historia industrial de la ciudad de A Coruña, las características de su arquitectura industrial y la gravedad real del Patrimonio Industrial perdido.
Abstract: The manufacturing industrial heritage is still a topic of recent research, especially in communities such as Galicia, in which there is a strong industrialization in relation to other Spanish cities. This does not mean, however, that there is no major industry in this context, or good examples of industrial architecture. Therefore, this research aims to clarify the current status of the assets constituting the manufacturing Industrial Heritage of the city of A Coruña, built between 1880 and 1940, and corresponding to the Second Industrial Revolution, the stage at which the industry was already mechanised. The research subject comprises factories with mechanised production, in the category of industrial plants (National Plan of Industrial Heritage), since they are the place par excellence, where the production processes were concentrated, and therefore the ones that best represent the industrial architecture. The objectives were, firstly the identification of the existing and destroyed Industrial Heritage of the city. After this identification, followed the classification of the existing buildings based on its current state, determining which were abandoned industrial buildings, which maintained their production function, or which buildings, whose existing structures have associated changes in use. Finally, the characteristics of the existing structures with associated use change were also defined, as the rehabilitation and reuse of industrial goods is one of the main objectives of the Industrial Archaeology. The methodology of this study was primarily based on two stages. The first phase corresponds to the quantitative inventory, which is the basis for all the research, since there was no previous inventory conducted. The second phase of the research study corresponds to the qualitative- comparative study of case studies, which describes the existing buildings, analysing in depth those that currently have new functions, since the rehabilitation and reuse of industrial structures is one of the main objectives of industrial archaeology. The case studies were analysed based on their functionality and versatility (place/ space/ structural adaptability), through the methodological triangulation of data from document analysis, observation and held interviews. The historical processes and the characterization of industrial goods documented in the inventory were confirmed by this research. Therefore, the initial question was reasoned answered: What is being done with the manufacturing industrial heritage in La Coruña? And, from this question, a sub-question was answered as well: What are the characteristics of the industrial buildings that have been preserved? In short, the work contributes to the clarification of the industrial history of the city of A Coruña, of the characteristics of its industrial architecture, and of the true severity of the lost industrial heritage.
