Retooling Industrial Sites Exhibit Opening

Retooling Industrial Sites is an exhibit that is part of Infill Philadelphia and will showcase the work of over 50 design firms in transforming old industrial sites back to productive use. Leading examples of industrial reuse in Philadelphia and inspiring projects from cities across the country will be on display from February 5 through March 26. The exhibit will serve as a forum for the growing interest in industrial sites and urban manufacturing. It will also highlight the important role of design in making industry a new and positive part of urban neighborhoods. The featured projects pay homage to the industrial past and provide a vision for a new industrial and urban renaissance. Meet the designers and celebrate these innovative projects at the First Friday opening reception on February 5, 2010. The folks from Art in the Age will be on hand for a tasting of Root, an organic liqueur that recreates the pre-temperance alcoholic Root Tea that was popular in Pennsylvania.
