In the document "Action Plan to Further Promote Sports Consumption (2019-2020)" issued by the State Sports General Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, it is proposed that: by building various sports complexes and strengthening the construction of convenient sports facilities , expand the sports consumption space. Among them, we encourage and guide the use of existing facilities such as abandoned factories to transform them into sports complexes that integrate fitness, leisure and commercial services; continue to promote the "renovation of functions and reform mechanisms" projects of public sports venues, and increase the number of sports venues and facilities. and functions, transformed into a sports complex.

In the "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Circulation and Promoting Commercial Consumption" issued by the General Office of the State Council, it was pointed out: Promote the innovation, transformation and upgrading of traditional circulation enterprises, and encourage traditional department stores, large stadiums, and old industrial plants that have difficulty operating. It has been transformed into a multi-functional and comprehensive new consumption carrier such as a commercial complex, consumer experience center, fitness, leisure and entertainment center.

From a location perspective, the city's territory is constantly expanding, and the land once occupied by old factories is now a valuable resource in the city's central area. Taking Shanghai as an example, 16 of the original 18 creative industrial parks in 2005 were old factory renovation projects, distributed in central areas of the city such as Jing'an District, Luwan District, Huangpu District, and Changning District. Therefore, location advantage is the primary manifestation of its economic value.

From a cost perspective, the cost of rebuilding an old factory is relatively lower than the cost of rebuilding it. For example, the cost of rebuilding a long-span factory will generally be controlled at 10-20% of the total cost.

From a property perspective, the property conditions of the old factory’s large space and high floors, as well as the scale effect of multiple buildings in a large area, can provide a diverse combination of spaces for the repositioning of project functions, and even create a new products to meet personalized needs, thereby further exploring their commercial value and even creating new life concepts. The birth of products such as SOHO and LOFT is the best proof.

In terms of the environment, most of the existing old factories have backward production capacity, outdated equipment, and lack adequate environmental protection measures. Their environmental pollution and urban damage are also one of the reasons for their change or demise. At the same time, demolition and reconstruction will cause varying degrees of environmental damage and the consumption of a large amount of material resources. The environment itself is a resource, and protecting and recycling old factories is also an act of protecting urban environmental resources.

Finally, from a cultural perspective, old factories, as relics of China’s historical development, are not only an important window to show China’s industrial culture, but also an important carrier for continuing the urban context and expanding the space for urban cultural development. In the new era, under the background of my country's economic development momentum shifting, industrial structure optimization and upgrading, and urban renewal and transformation, old factories have become a powerful starting point for revitalizing existing spatial resources, building new urban cultural spaces, and promoting cultural development. From industrial memory to cultural creativity, from old spaces to new landmarks, to achieve cross-era cultural integration and collision, compared with more mature industrial heritage development models abroad, our country has both great opportunities and many difficulties.

Of course, the renovation of old factories is not only limited to industries such as art and creativity, but also incorporates commercial elements. The integration of shopping, catering, entertainment and other businesses has greatly enriched the urban functions of the renovation project, and the diversified combination further enhances the presence of the renovation project in the city and promotes further development of the industry. Let’s take a look at some relatively new cases of factory transformation and utilization in foreign countries.

Portugal

The original site of the Arquipélago Modern Art Center was a tobacco and wine factory. In the process of transforming it, Menos é Mais Office adheres to the concept of spreading and creating emerging culture and hopes to transform it. The future art center can become a space for exchange and interaction of people, knowledge and culture.

The construction team adopted the form of dialogue between old and new buildings and built a new white building next to the original factory.

The functions of the two buildings are different. The original factory is mainly for display, while the new building is more responsible for the functions of art and cultural center, multi-functional hall, art laboratory, artist studio, etc., making up for the lack of functionality of the original factory. .

But the architectural team did not deliberately exaggerate the differences between the old and new buildings. Instead, the new building is placed quietly next to the original factory without disrupting or subverting the overall spatial and architectural structure. The two buildings have a dialogue across time and space - the main body of the original factory building is made of volcanic rock masonry, while the new art center is built of local basalt concrete, forming changing surface textures and folds, with simple and abstract forms.

The Art Center allows people to travel between history. The social and cultural value of the factory itself adds to the historical depth of the Art Center and gives it cultural significance. The new public space has diverse functions, and the boundaries between private and public areas, leisure and work, art and life become blurred.

This factory renovation project completely transformed the original factory into a unique historical and cultural space in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Denmark

Roskilde Music Festival National High School is located in a former industrial site in Roskilde, Denmark. The original factory was converted into a teaching building and two new student dormitories were built. A building, an office building for school staff, and container creative office spaces for creative companies all form the school's building complex.

Jacob van Rijs, head of the design team MVRDV, said: "Our design was inspired by the Roskilde Music Festival, which combines 'happy times' with innovation in an unfettered way. Combined, this is also the unique atmosphere we hope to create in the interior design of the school. ”

The teaching building retains the concrete exterior, concrete columns and roof of the original factory, but has no significant changes in the internal walls and walls. The space planning has been updated. The design is based on the concept of "box within a box": colorful modules shaped like warehouses are connected and arranged along the main line from one side of the building to the other. On this main line there is a wooden stand that serves as the activity center of the school park. .

Each of these colorful modular boxes has different functions, including an auditorium that can accommodate 150 people, a music studio, a workshop and several dance, art, and architecture classrooms. Based on these functions, the space is divided into three zones: the mind zone, which includes spaces for writing, ideation, debate, and leadership; the physical zone, such as dance and music functions; and the third, hands-on zone, which includes visual arts, architecture, and design area.

Roskilde Music Festival National High School is more like an active creative center and community, creating an inspiring place for a thriving youth culture, where everyone through music, media, contemporary art , architecture, design and other disciplines to stimulate their infinite potential.

Spain

This house is located in the Spanish town of La Bisbal. The original site was a small warehouse leading to a chocolate factory on the main road to the old city. It is a three-story building with a stone facade. The first floor is composed of Catalan arches supported by metal beams; the second floor is built with metal beams and exquisite wooden frames; the third floor is made of Large logs support a thin slab of bricks joined together and covered with ceramic tiles.

While retaining the original features of the building, the design team transformed it into a studio and a housing space for families. It retained the stone facade and transparent spatial atmosphere of the original building, and through Subtle changes highlight the character of the three floors.

The original staircase in the warehouse was retained, and the design team also built a new staircase at the other end of the building to make it easier for residents to move around the three-story space, and different members of the family can move around. Enjoy a private and autonomous space in the house.

The renovated first floor contains public event space, kitchen and dining room.

The Catalan arches of the original building were retained, giving the first floor an open, sunny feel.

The second and third floors are relatively private bedrooms and studio spaces.

Taking into account the local pleasant Mediterranean climate, the building’s outdoor space is also fully utilized. There is a small swimming pool in the central courtyard, surrounded by a ground floor seating area, porch, kitchen, dining room and terrace. The family can completely relax here and enjoy comfortable sunshine and leisurely family time.

Denmark

As Denmark’s largest environmentally friendly planning project (covering an area of ??41,000 square meters), its success is due to the design philosophy adhered to by Bjarke Ingels, founder of the architectural firm BIG: Hedonistic sustainability. What makes it different from other cases is that the function of waste incineration is still performed inside the factory.

As a waste-to-energy plant, its appearance is completely different from our inherent impression. It is 124m high and shaped like a sloping hillside, shining in the sun. The exterior facade is made of stacked aluminum brick units 1.2m high and 3.3m wide, with glass windows embedded in them, bringing natural light to the interior of the building.

How much can a waste-to-energy plant be transformed into? After seeing CopenHill, I was really amazed by the architect’s imagination. There is a 400m rooftop ski resort, park trails, 85m artificial rock climbing wall, coffee shop, Every design of the bar brings the most relaxing experience to the local people.

Let’s start with the most high-profile ski resorts. Although Denmark has a cold climate, it lacks mountains. In the past, people could only drive a few hundred kilometers to Sweden for skiing.

The emergence of CopenHill gave Copenhagen its first ski resort. In this way, people can enjoy skiing no matter what season it is, which is much more fun than having a real "ski resort" next to home.

In addition to skiing on the rooftop, there is also a park suitable for strolling. There are approximately 7000 shrubs, 300 pine and willow trees and other greenery surrounding the trail. Citizens who don't know how to ski can complete a comfortable hiking trip here. When you are tired from walking, you can order a beer at the bar at the top and enjoy the beautiful surrounding scenery.

Located on one side of the building, there is also an 85m high and 10m wide rock climbing wall, which successfully broke the world record and became the tallest artificial rock climbing wall. Its design is similar to a natural mountain wall, with various levels of difficulty to meet the needs of rock climbers of all levels.

This environmentally friendly waste-to-energy power plant can process 400,000 tons of waste from local residents every year and provide electricity and central heating to 150,000 households. About 250-350 trucks carry waste here every day. The garbage will be thrown into the furnace and burned. When the furnace is operating at maximum efficiency, it can burn 70 tons of garbage per hour. Such efficient operation can heat Copenhagen's 99 buildings and eliminate large amounts of coal and fossil pollution. Through the scrubber, harmful substances can be removed, and clean water vapor will eventually be emitted into the air. This will also help Copenhagen achieve its goal of becoming the world’s first carbon-neutral city by 2025.

In the past, waste-to-energy power plants may have been just an infrastructure in industrial areas, but the emergence of CopenHill has completely broken people's inherent cognition and achieved the ultimate win-win situation for the environment, economy, and society. .
