Post Industrial Landscape

Are we drawn to a post-industrial landscape? Does it highlight the 'natural' surrounds? 
Does it evoke us to explore or play? 
Does the scale ground or heighten our sense of being?
I am not sure how I feel about the remnants of industry. It is foreign to the places I seek to be in, yet it is never too far from where I am. Perhaps all this time I have been trying to look past it rather than explore its design potential.
Here's some interesting projects I found.
