dc.description.abstract |
In contemporary cities, with the adjustment of industrial structure and development of the city, increasing numbers of industrial buildings are losing their production function. Old buildings as carriers of cultural heritage, witness the development of the time, become an indispensable part of the city. The historical value, emotional value and substance culture function value behind old buildings have greatly enriched the connotation of the city and reflects the different periods of social lifestyle and attitude to life. Old buildings also show the trace of urban development, they become the decisive part of the city texture. As a result, adaptive reuse of old buildings can not only keep the continuity of the local culture, explore the special value of old buildings in the modern era, create architectures and urban environment with unique regional characteristics, but also save energy embodied by re-utilizing and rejuvenate the buildings themselves the community and their users. Space, Gestalt (Form) and Materiality are the determining factors of Architecture. In adaptive reuse projects, materiality often steps into the foreground as it is the key factor in the communication between the old and the new. Materiality articulates the shift in the atmosphere that coincides with the change of use, be it subtle by carefully restoring the existing with the intention to preserve the historic mood or be it of high contrast by distinctively expressing all new interventions into space through the use of contemporary or “high-tech” materials. This thesis analyzes the use of materials in adaptive reuse projects and attempts to understand the role of materiality in adaptive reuse and the specific’s of how the materials are applied. The method of material application is categorized into 5 strategies from juxtaposition to adjacency, overlapping, fusion, and hybrid. The Chelsea Sugar Factory in Northshore, Auckland, has been chosen as the location to apply this researched “syntax”, to a project. The Chelsea Sugar Factory is a collection of the various factory, storage and administrative buildings from 1884 to 1980s. The design proposal develops a new visitor center in which the fascinating complexity of sugar can be explored and sugary products can be enjoyed in a public cafe facing the Auckland harbor. A serious of renovations, from canopy roofs to interior renovations and new buildings are used to articulate the five distinct strategies of material applications while adding to the collection of building typologies that compose the existing factory. |
