The Research On Conservation And Regeneration Of Industrial Heritage In Port Architecture

Along with the adjustment of industrial structure and rapid development of transportation, the ever prosperous ports decay gradually and traditional port industry has being replaced. How to recover the port architecture experienced history, to keep old structure refreshed and to rebuild the context of city district are becoming more and more focused. Compared with mature systems and successful examples of conservation in developed countries, the research is just a beginning in china. This paper was brought out under the very background. The conservation of industrial heritage of port architecture is the aim and the regeneration is one of the most productive manner of it which is vivid and continuable.Starting with the basic research, this article stated related concepts and connotation chiefly, analyzed the environment, causes, and values of industrial heritage of port architecture as well as the differences with common industrial buildings, so that the ordinary method and process around the world were concluded. Then, both abroad and inside china, there was detailed analysis. On the one hand, in developed country, achievement was paid more attention such as laws and regulations, ideas and theories, designs and technologies and highlights in undertaking process. Typical instances of Albert Dock and Thames Barrier are given to prove it. On the other hand, in our country lack of thoughts and experiences in this field, it is necessary to take a quite different view. Based on special context and feature, targeted in five centralized harbor areas catalogued with three types of port cities, we should extend thought to carry out specified approach adapted industrial heritage of port architecture in china. Certainly, there are also practical examples to emphasize acquisition and also deficiency varied from Shanghai as symbolized industrial city to Changsha as non-typical port city.Academic analysis at middle level combined with instance demonstrate, either conclusion or innovation held, common redeveloping pattern gathering society environment and economy value was proved, meanwhile, new point in reverse direction, which means in conservation and regeneration project put forwards the process of landscape rebuild that better the invest environment and attract more attention to lead the subsequent construction steps so as to take advantage of the potential function of port architecture to fulfill the continuable exist of industrial heritage, was raised.Finally, judged on the situation of conservation and regeneration in industrial heritage of port architecture, take an outlook on research and performance in this field with the hope of catching up with the world trend and accomplish the fantasy of port city after all.
