| At present, the transformation project of old industrial areas in China, mostly are guided by the "organic renaissance" which off the root of west theory “urban renaissance”. "Organic renaissance" theory was created by Mr Wu Liangyong, which considering the urban development in Chinese cities and the theory offers instructional strategies towards the urban transformation in Chinese cities.However,the theory focuses primarily on the level of protecting of cultural heritage and public policies setting. While, how to integrate these space into new economic activities, so that it can be truly sustainable after the transformation, the thory doesn’t mention. When we designed the Fisherman’s Wharf in Xiaoxiang, Changsha, we tried to study the economic factor as a starting point from the perspective of production space.From the perspective of "production of space" theory, the transformation of old industrial areas was an inevitable result of the “time-space”mechanism. The existing industrial plant might have excessive problems after the boom.in addition,we need to fix the plant from the way of space production to make the space to be more energetic in economy.In the project in Changsha, the site of the Central Plains and some docks, shipyards old factory, mill old plant need repair in space level. In this process, the introduction of new industrial model is the key, And the new form of industry has been the transformation target. Commonly, the secondary industry tertiary turn to the third industry tertiary becomes the direction. On the one hand, the old industrial areas has cultural heritage protection demands; on the other hand, we have the industrial use of renewable requirement, and the binding site is in the cultural consumption. Industrial ruins of old industrial areas have cultural characteristics so that it can be developed for high-quality products on the basis of cultural space. On this basis, through the space design and reorganization, we can provide space for cultural consumption consumers, greatly enriched and meet the new culture consumer’s demand for the product.This idea has been successful transformation of verification on many domestic programs, but how to reasonably determine the scale of cultural consumption space, we need to format the urban structure from a more macro level space considerations.From a broader perspective to look at old industrial areas of the project, we will find that it will have an impact on urban spatial structure. "Christaller" as a classic model of urban spatial structure model, the introduction of central place theory, explains the structure and morphology of urban space. But the phenomenon of restructuring such a perfect static mathematical model can not explain the dynamic expansion of urban space and the original space. Fisherman’s Wharf project in Changsha herein, the transformation of the old industrial areas of space itself, not just the reconstruction of production space, but also the reconstruction of the city spatial structure, the new center is formed. According to central place theory, centrally concentrated area is primarily responsible for administration, commerce, transportation and other functions. In this project, we will use the analytic hierarchy process to explore the formation of a new center to reasonably determine the level of the size and design of our time through the city center to the macro structure considerations, to determine the format in the form of projects.We’re trying to design from the perspective of a new way to research and practice in the design of Changsha Fisherman’s Wharf project, and it is also possible for the similar projects... |
