  • Technical and Technological Factors in Industrial Architecture Forms Creation: Historical Review
    TECHNICAL TRANSACTIONS CZASOPISMO TECHNICZNE ARCHITECTURE ARCHITEKTURA 7-A/2014 YELENA MOROZOVA* TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS IN INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURE FORMS CREATION: HISTORICAL REVIEW CZYNNIKI TECHNICZNE I TECHNOLOGICZNE W TWORZENIU FORM ARCHITEKTURY PRZEMYSŁOWEJ: PRZEGLĄD HISTORYCZNY Abstract This paper concerns technical and technological impacts on the process of the formation of in- dustrial architecture. All the formational factors from the 18th to the 20th century – in the epoch of industrial architecture – are examined with special emphasis on technical and technological aspects. In the course of various historical periods, these factors changed their influence. Some of them had a dominating position while others – only a corrective status. In this way, the evo- lution of the impact of technical and technological factors is observed. Keywords: industrial architecture, impact of technical factors, impact of technological factors Streszczenie Artykuł dotyczy wpływów techniki i technologii na proces tworzenia architektury przemysło- wej. Wszelkie czynniki formacyjne na przestrzeni XVIII–XX wieku – w dobie architektury przemysłowej – badane są ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem aspektów technicznych i technolo- gicznych. W różnych okresach historycznych zmieniał się wpływ tychże czynników. Niektóre z nich zajmowały pozycję dominującą, inne natomiast posiadały zaledwie status korekcyjny. W ten sposób obserwuje się ewolucję wpływu czynników technicznych i technologicznych. Słowa kluczowe: architektura przemysłowa, wpływ czynników technicznych, wpływ czynników technologicznych * Prof. Ph.D. Eng. Arch.

  • The Adaptive Reuse of Industrial Heritage As Cultural Clusters in China: a Case Study in Chongqing
    The Adaptive Reuse of Industrial Heritage as Cultural Clusters in China: A Case Study in Chongqing By Jie Chen A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales March 2018 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: CHEN First name: Jie Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Built Environment Faculty: Built Environment Title: The Adaptive Reuse of Industrial Heritage as Cultural Clusters in China: A Case Study in Chongqing Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Following the adoption of a socialist market economy throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, the Chinese city has accommodated radical changes in its urban landscapes, especially the dramatic transformation of large industrial sites. Along with the rapid urban transformation and the neglect of historic cores, Chinese cities are witnessing the rapid disappearance of industrial heritage. This negative reality of conservation practice raises a fundamental question about the reasons for such cultural myopia. To reveal the main factors that dominate the results of brownfield regeneration projects in urban China, this thesis reviewed theories on the production of space and the literature on the Chinese context. A single case study approach was adopted, collecting data from semi-structured interviews, document reviews and popular media. Through an investigation in the major industrial inland city of Chongqing, the thesis examined how the idea of industrial heritage reuse has travelled as a global concept with its Chinese precedents to Chongqing, and why the idea has been diluted in the regional context.

  • Biography of an Industrial Landscape Biography of an Industrial Landscape Landscape and Heritage Studies
    LANDSCAPE AND HERITAGE STUDIES Riesto Biography of an Industrial Landscape Carlsberg’s Urban Spaces Retold Svava Riesto Biography of an Industrial Landscape Biography of an Industrial Landscape Landscape and Heritage Studies Landscape and Heritage Studies (LHS) is an English-language series about the history, heritage and transformation of the natural and cultural landscape and the built environment. The series aims at the promotion of new directions as well as the rediscovery and exploration of lost tracks in landscape and heritage research. Both theoretically oriented approaches and detailed empirical studies play an important part in the realization of this objective. The series explicitly focuses on: – the interactions between physical and material aspects of landscapes and landscape experiences, meanings and representations; – perspectives on the temporality and dynamic of landscape that go beyond traditional concepts of time, dating and chronology; – the urban-rural nexus in the context of historical and present-day transformations of the landscape and the built environment; – multidisciplinary, integrative and comparative approaches from geography, spatial, social and natural sciences, history, archaeology and cultural sciences in order to understand the development of human-nature interactions through time and to study the natural, cultural and social values of places and landscapes; – the conceptualization and musealization of landscape as heritage and the role of ‘heritagescapes’ in the construction and reproduction of memories and identities; – the role of heritage practices in the transmission, design and transformation of (hidden) landscapes and the built environment, both past and present; – the appropriation of and engagement with sites, places, destinations, landscapes, monuments and buildings, and their representation and meaning in distinct cultural contexts.

And Decision makers often doubt the utility and necessity of such projects. This study seeks to investigate a controversial state-of- the-art megaproject, Amager Bakke, which Project period: assumed to be successful by many in the beginning, but it turned upside-down. This February 1st 20017- June 2nd 2017 project has had political and industrial attention at the highest levels both regionally and nationally, including ministers and industry. After the analysis two discourse coalitions were identified that display Author: opposing storylines. By Investigating the SeyedehSahar Sattari interplay between storylines the dominant discourses were identified, power-relations become unlocked, planning styles were distinguished, tension points were revealed and the consequences of the argumentations Supervisor: recognized. The aim of this study was to make a contribution to megaprojects planning and Søren Løkke decision making in the face of risk and uncertainty.

  • The Impossible Myth of the Vernacular City As a Paradigm for Optimising Resources
    THE IMPOSSIBLE MYTH OF THE VERNACULAR CITY AS A PARADIGM FOR OPTIMISING RESOURCES GONZÁLEZ DÍAZ María-Jesús1, GARCÍA-NAVARRO1 Justo, DORST Machiel2 1 Department of Construction and Rural Roads, Polytechnic University of Madrid (Spain). 2 Environmental Design, Department of Urbanism, Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands). Keywords: sustainable construction, resources, vernacular architecture, industrial architecture, Abstract: Vernacular architecture is considered an ideal way to understand design, as an example of simplicity and the conservation of resources, specifically energy. Along these lines, urbanism has proved to be the most suitable expression of humanity’s habitat in a specific geographical surrounding. However, the application of vernacular architecture and urbanism as a model no longer works, and it has become an unreachable myth. The current systems of construction have made the vernacular model of architecture impossible: a new paradigm must be reinvented and it has to be admitted that processes and society have changed, making current vernacular architecture meaningful only as a focus of study. The same research studies on favourably valuated buildings with current methods of environmental evaluation reflect this situation: these constructions cannot be identified within their own geographic context. In order to analyse this situation, certain conditions and basic elements have been schematically and generally identified allowing for the creation of vernacular architecture, including production methods, social structure and user participation in the process, among others. With this data, a fundamental framework for comparison has been established. This framework for comparison has been applied, first, to the social structures that have allowed for a vernacular urban model, and second, to an urban structure considered as contemporary.
