Architecture / industriearchitektur | | German term or phrase: schauanlage | Hallo!
Habe hier vor mir einen Text über "technische Denkmale" (sorry, steht da so), in dem es darum geht, wie alte Industriegebäude neu genützt werden können...es kam schon einmal das Wort "Schauanlage" vor, da hab ich mich mit "museum" drumgemogelt, aber jetzt heißt es direkt
"Neunutzung als Museum oder Schauanlage"
Wie kann ich die Schauanlage übersetzen? Ich glaub es handelt sich dabei nicht um eine Demonstration (einer Maschine etc.), sondern wirklich um das reine Ansehen der Fabrik, der Maschinen etc...
Danke für eure Vorschläge! |

It is an expression, that I recall from the military, where weapon systems can be presented to an audience with energy turned off...well just...static... |

| Grading comment Checked it with Google, seems to work and it's the only term that really makes you understand, that you go and see the building and not sth inside the building...(depends on the context, though)
Thanks!

1 hr confidence:   exhibition building
Explanation:
I would suggest this is a building because it states in German "alte Industriegebäude" which means an "old Industry building" in English.
I hope this helpful.

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 exhibition space
Explanation:
That way you don't have to concern yourself about what is being exhibited, whether it is old machinery or contemporary art installations, or even a combination of both.

I cringe as I write, but maybe, if the context fits, 'heritage exhibition'. (or as has been said elsewhere, 'industrial museum'. It really depends on what is going on and how generic, specific you need to be.

I suggest exhibition space because, so often nowadays, contemporary art is displayed in this way. It is difficult to tell what the author has in mind without seeing the whole context, of course.

This is a translation - not done by a native, I would hazard a guess - but it gives you the idea: http://www.reduxprojects.org.uk/talkingcities/talkingcities2...

'Cultural heritage site' is another formulation - here used by Sir Norm himself: http://en.red-dot.org/19.html?&L=1
