As promised in our note on the on-site hackathon lectures, the next batch of materials has arrived in the DTH Training Materials section — this time four presentations showcasing the results of the four student teams from the HI-EURECA-PRO Hackathon on Industrial Heritage.
Each international team was handed a real building in Gliwice’s former wire factory and challenged to give it a second life: a new, socially useful function rooted in sustainable development and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production), and weaving together technical, environmental, social and economic thinking. The results are strikingly varied: from a digital-future “heritage hub” that pairs a start-up and innovation centre with an on-site data centre, to intergenerational community spaces bridging a young university city and its ageing residents through digital-skills exchanges and a living digital archive of local memory, to a circular-culture museum, workshop and café celebrating Silesian craft and identity. Several of the ideas land squarely on the DTH’s own themes: digitalisation, data infrastructure, digital heritage interpretation and the digital preservation of community memory, set alongside green roofs, passive design and life-cycle-minded material choices. We warmly encourage you to download the presentations and explore these excellent visions for the second life of post-industrial buildings.
