Research on Modern Design and Functional Renovation of Industrial Heritage Buildings

---Based on Wuhan Ancient Gu Tianfang as an Example

Abstract

When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, the poor and weak new China regarded building a complete industrialization system as its top priority. Therefore, the country quickly selected a large number of cities with advantages in location, economy, and resources to build various factories. These large-scale and rapid production factories have played a pivotal role in the development history of New China. They are not only the promoters and witnesses of the growth of New China, but also the memory of the times and the urban style of each city. Entering the 21st century, the process of urbanization has been accelerated. At the same time, along with industrial upgrading, a large number of old industrial buildings that have lost their functionality have been left idle or demolished. We are faced with the problem of how to deal with the development to meet the needs of social development in the new era. The main research object of this paper is the old industrial buildings left over from the upgrading and development of various cities in my country. Focusing on the many difficulties they are currently facing, the renovation design is carried out from the aspects of overall planning, building structure, building function, building shape, and ecological design.
