Incremental Reutilization Abandoned Industrial Buildings
2012
The aim of this paper is to explain the importance of re‐using valuable, un‐used buildings like outdated factories and revitalizing them by bringing them to the 21st century while at the same time, keeping a piece of their memory and their important contribution through their course of "life". The new users of the transformed building or site as well as the wider public will not only see the romantic and nostalgic side of a revitalized industrial building, but also its functional and financial contribution in the modern way of life where through sustainability of re‐use and respecting something old and neglected, can be brought back to life for something new and exciting. This paper will explore the proposal of incremental transformation of abandoned industrial buildings attempting to activate and reintegrate these structures in the socioeconomic system according to the emerging needs of the industry. The aim of this paper is to promote the significance of a smooth transit...
Incremental Revitalization: Abandoned Industrial Buildings
2011
This paper will explore the proposal of incremental transformation of abandoned industrial buildings attempting to activate and reintegrate these structures in the socioeconomic system according to the emerging needs of the industry. Through examples like the Duisburg Park as well as important conceptual theories of strategic, delicate approaches like that of Latz and Partners Landscape Architects towards a restored building and site and its gradual transition of total transformation whilst maintaining its memory were examined for further knowledge subtraction and possible application to the thesis (total) proposal. The aim of this paper is to promote the significance of a smooth transition from the building’s past use to the new function by always maintaining a piece of “memory” of function. Through this re‐use of space a sustainable strategy arises, where cost efficiency and recycling of an already built structure through awakening buildings and people’s memory, becomes a strategy of design development where previous users are called to remember and re interpret and new to explore and learn.

Adaptive reuse and neglet the current situation of two premises between preservation and renewal
E. Morezzi - Perspectives on Architectural Preservation. Essays 2010-2020, 2020
The article aims at reflecting upon the potentiality of heritage in state of abandonment with regards to large industrial complexes in urban and suburban settings. Indeed, if promotion and preservation strategies appear as the most embraceable towards the conservation of the asset, the current research focuses on alternative strategies, helpful in framing new potential scenarios and intervention guidelines rarely tested in the past. About this, some case study and national as well as international realities have been studied; there, abandonment and mere conservation with no re-functionalization or modification of the architectural components have been preferred to intervention. Against this background, the essay investigates the paradoxical opportunity of not operating on a heritage to achieve its very conservation, implicitly accepting time-related decay and adopting the strategy of minimal intervention on the walls and within the overall conservation strategies.
Structure, De-structure, Re-structure. The Second Life of Industrial Heritage
The evolution of the modern city caused a series of changes in relation to industrial architecture units: from peripheral points, they become core elements within the urban organism. Witness to the development of the city, the existing industrial heritage deserves a second chance, by preserving the valuable elements and proposing new ways of use. The restructuring of the urban tissue must not ignore the valuable buildings dedicated to this architectural program, the former industrial areas becoming a key-tool in urban regeneration projects. In this regard, a series of questions arise: Can the industrial unit become once again a landmark for the community? What are the factors that determine the new way of using the industrial buildings? How can we intervene on an industrial heritage building, while respecting its authenticity and adapting it to new functions? What kind of strategies can be adopted in the regeneration process of a former industrial heritage site? The answer to these questions is discussed in the present paper.

The new technology era requirements and sustainable approach to industrial heritage renewal
Energy and Buildings, 2016
Nowadays, developments in technology and the introduction of the philosophy of sustainable development have led to significant changes in theory and practice of preservation and development of historic areas and buildings. Modern presentation of their cultural values and use require improving their condition and making them compliant with standards and requirements applicable to newly constructed buildings and spaces in terms of energy efficiency. However, this makes the task of preserving the authenticity and integrity of historic spaces and buildings and their basic historical and cultural value challenging. The idea of sustainable development, which in addition to environmental and economic dimensions also contains an equally important social dimension, has also brought to the fore the cultural heritage as a non-renewable resource. In this sense, historical areas and buildings should be regenerated and adapted to the needs of modern times by providing them with adequate purpose and continuous maintenance. Based on a case study and analyzed main aspects and optimization of sustainable use of industrial architecture, i.e. the Zrenjanin brewery, this paper strives to point out the need for their modernization and improvement, in accordance with respect of their integrity and authenticity during the renovation process.
The Features of Architectural Renovation of Industrial Heritage for New Functions
Problemy teorii i istorii arhitektury Ukrainy, 2022
The article deals with some issues related to the renovation of industrial facilities. The authors under the concept of «renovation» mean a set of measures aimed at the socialization of the stopped industrial facilities by introducing public, residential, recreational or mixed functions into them. This process is considered as a complex event, which is determined not only by architectural and urban planning solutions, but also with the complicity of the municipality, business and citizens. Domestic and foreign examples of renovation at different levels of the urban hierarchy are considered, ranging from small objects to the largest industrial zones: a separate object, a complex of buildings and structures, an industrial hub (zone). The authors have found that in Ukraine at the present stage, renovation is dictated more by economic considerations than by the desire to preserve the industrial heritage, in contrast to existing trends abroad. Foreign experience shows that not only buildings with an architectural and planning solution corresponding to the new function are adapted for new functions, but also specialpurpose buildings (for example, silos) for manipulations that require large capital investments and design changes. In Ukraine, only the first method is used so far. It has been established that there is a tendency to introduce several functions to create multifunctional facilities both in Ukraine and abroad. A modern city with an industrial past requires an increase in building density and a comprehensive reconstruction of the urban fabric for successful life. The formation of multifunctional complexes based on stopped industrial facilities will help the urban structure in the process of restoration and regeneration in the context of sustainable development.
INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION AND ADAPTIVE REUSE: KOMBINAT CASE STUDY
Conference Proceedings: ReUSO 2024 - Documentation, Restoration and Reuse of Heritage, 29-31 October 2024, Bergamo, Italy, ISBN: 978-88-99586-454, 2024
Under the influence of rapid urban developments, the phenomenon of abandonment and degradation of industrial buildings and urban spaces pose significant challenges to preserving historical assets on a global scale. This paper examines the multifaceted challenges surrounding the revitalisation of industrial heritage, with a focus on brownfield areas, which have become symbols of urban decay and environmental degradation. This research examines the case of Kombinat, an industrial city in Tirana that was a product of the socialist era. It presents a systematic approach to rejuvenating and repurposing abandoned industrial buildings. Through adaptive reuse, these structures can be transformed to serve contemporary needs while retaining their historical integrity, igniting a wave of urban regeneration. This intervention holds the potential to contribute significantly to the maintenance, rehabilitation, and redevelopment of the targeted area of Kombinat in Tirana. At its core, this intervention advocates for a comprehensive approach to industrial heritage revitalisation, that harmonises economic viability with cultural preservation and environmental sustainability. By embracing adaptive reuse and proactive intervention strategies, Albania cannot only reclaim its neglected industrial legacy but also pave the way for vibrant and resilient communities.
