Analysis And Study On The Revitalization Of The Industrial Heritage In China

Nowadays, China are stepping into a period of urban renewal and building re-development, which primarily consists in the conservation and adaptive-reuse of industrial heritage. Researching on the industrial heritage reuse, this theme has both theoretical significance and practical value in various aspects, such as resource utilization, economy respond, environmental protection, context preservation etc. With the assortment and summarization of the Chinese example, the thesis expounds the vernacular and scientific rebuilding method of industrial construction, and finally analyses the domestic status and trends in this field.The thesis is composed of five chapters. According to the typical development process of the industrialization, Chapter 1 separates the industrial building into three models, pre-industrial city, industrialized city and post-industrial city. Meanwhile, it describes the characteristics and adaptive-reuse ways to different models. Corresponding to the urban location of the factory, Chapter 2 classified the industrial construction into dispersing form and congregation form, by which the approaching features and the rebuilding methods of Chinese industrial construction have been specialized and concluded. Chapter 3 involves two re-developing models of the industrial heritage, one is spontaneous model, the other is intensive model. Both of them have taken Indispensable effects on the rebuilding procedure of industrial heritage of China. Based on the space forms and construction traits, Chapter 4 defines the industrial building typologically. Besides, it goes further into the rebuilding method in architecture language by graphs and models, especially demonstrates the design arrangement in Chinese cases. The appendix contains several personal investigations to the designer, whose cases are cited or analyzed in the thesis.
