Fisher Body Plant 21, Detroit, USA

The fortunes of the Fisher family and their factory changed when integrated chassis were invented in the early 1900s. As car companies started to produce their own body parts in house, the demand for the goods manufacturers at the Fisher Body Plant 21 sharply dropped.  After changing hands numerous times in the 20th century, the 3.7 million square feet (344,000 square metres) plant was eventually abandoned. Bar visits from urban photographers and graffiti artists, it has been empty since 1993.

Although a $1 million (£729.7k) restoration project has been launched, the future development of this historic site remains uncertain, and it's now part of the Piquette Avenue Industrial Historic District.
