”An example of the virtual model on the homepage ”humlenvedcarlsberg.dk”, which the visitor can walk around in and meet former
and current Carlsberg employees”
The virtual world can be a very good basic structure
for the understanding of a physical environment;
something that an architectural drawing, a photo or
a film cannot do. In a few years’ time the brewery
environment will have a total different look -
buildings are torn down, new ones erected, some are
rebuilt. On the web-site the visitor walks around,
interacts with the buildings, meets the workers and
so on. And another great thing for the architects and
the people working with administration of the listed
buildings on the National Heritage Board is that
the model may actually show changes to the listed
environment before they are carried out.
But most important and an almost revolutionary
aspect of the virtual technology is the ability to
contain, organize and combine a lot of information
that is normally not accessible on the web.
Keynote speech
From the three-dimensional universe (id: a building)
the visitor may link directly to a database, a more
traditional web-site with thousands of photos, films,
written and spoken memories, and new articles. The
content is organized according to a new taxonomy
of industrial cultural heritage.
Conclusion
The industrial heritage is in many ways different
from that of earlier times. An object like the beer-cup
from the 18th century could, along with a modern
can of beer, represent one and the same story, since
they are examples of how time off work was spent
in two very different societies. But in every other
way the two objects are completely different. A cup
in the agrarian society is a unique object, both from
point of view of manufacture and use, whereas we
