How to turn abandoned factories into treasures

Abandoned factories are usually polluted or abandoned. To turn waste into treasure, Lanyu Culture learned that the more popular method in the country was to directly demolish, rebuild and rebuild. In the early stage, land prices rose, and you could make money from whatever you did.

However, the country currently pays more attention to two issues, one is land and housing prices, and the other is the protection of industrial sites. For example, the state has introduced a series of measures to control housing and land prices, such as 70-year property rights only for renting but not selling, joint house purchasing, etc. The examples of industrial heritage protection are of course the 798 Project in Beijing, the No. 8 Bridge in Shanghai, and the Shougang Site in Beijing.

In other words, after the factory is demolished and abandoned, the fate of the current demolition will be changed. What should be protected will be protected, and what is not worth protecting will be demolished. The so-called turning waste into treasure should be referring to these places with protective significance.

Here are a few examples.

The first one is pollution control type, such as Duisburg Landscape Park. This is an abandoned coal mine in the Ruhr area with serious pollution. The Germans planted flowers, plants and trees here, re-planned and designed it, and built it into a local leisure and recreation park. It has changed its former desolate appearance and turned it into a beautiful place. Of course, some of the more iconic buildings, factories, equipment, etc. have been preserved.

The second one is creative transformation, such as 798 in Beijing. The former military factory was left in ruins after it was moved away. Artists came here and used their ability to turn decay into magic. They transformed it into creative shops, offices, exhibition halls, etc., and became an art gathering place. Successfully Give abandoned factories a second life.

The third one is heritage protection, such as Ironbridge Gorge in the UK. Originally this was a steel smelting town, but later the steel fell into disrepair. People protected the scenes from decades ago and kept them as they were, turning them into a living museum, allowing people to take a journey through time and understand the actual scenes of that era. Big ones attract tourists.

The fourth is other creative ideas, which usually involve integrated development, protection + transformation + demolition, and reintegration to create a community-type gathering place for attractions, office spaces, museums, etc., allowing people to shuttle between the modern and the past. opportunity.
