Urban renewal has been a main project to which most governments had been paying attention and also a branch of social engineering. In modern times, old buildings are dominating objects of urban renewal and remodel, and they should not all be reconstructed, but to be reused according to material, historic, cultural and ecological factors. Old buildings could not only look brand-new, but to some aspect could own some superiorities and features that new building might never own after being repaired, reconditioned or changed its function. Hence, it might do good to urban ecological environment, to keep in inherent context of urban and to create active urban space accord with modern times to make full use of old buildings. Thus, the outcome of renovation might be treated as "second building". Based on the status quo and problems.This paper recommends the theoretical basis and history of architectural reuse, analyses the confine and signification of old building, and correlated concept, intent, value tropism of the old building resource reuse.
