Industrial sites were built around function.

When that function ends, the structure remains, but its purpose does not.

Factories and mills once operated continuously, filled with noise, movement, and labor. When they close, the silence that follows can feel unnatural by comparison.

Many reports involve sounds resembling former activity—machinery where no machinery operates, movement in spaces no longer occupied.

These buildings were not designed to be empty.

Their abandonment creates the conditions for stories to form.
