Ecological Strategy for the Reuse of Old Industrial Buildings

Abstract:

This article makes a theoretical exploration on the old industrial buildings which are a special architectural type in the renewal process of the city construction, introducing its reusing development history, and analyzing its theoretical basis and mode patterns. Focused on the ecological measures in the reconstruction and reusing process, this article analyzes its feasibility and development direction, examining its practical operation through combining with the analysis of specific projects, thus making a profound research on its ecological reconstruction modes. In essence, this article is an attempt to seek for an ecological and sustainable developing way which is in accordance with the China’s national conditions and is able to accelerate the process of reusing old industrial buildings.
