A multidisciplinary method for the documentation & propagation of a city's heritage: the industrial structures of Bradford, West Yorkshire

研究目的利用3D数字文档记录、解释和展示布拉德福德市全球重要的工业遗产，从而帮助保护它免受忽视和衰退的威胁。背景与意义布拉德福德的工业遗产具有国际意义。在19世纪世纪，这座城市是世界精纺贸易的中心，并以Worstedopolis（William Cudworth（1888）Worstedopolis）而闻名。最近的报告强调了与这一遗产相关的一些建筑的重要意义和状态，并提供了通过工厂改造支持经济和住房增长的再生项目的例子，沿着展示了这些米尔斯在地方建设中发挥的关键作用（历史英格兰（2017）繁荣的引擎：旧米尔斯的新用途）。不幸的是，近年来许多工厂都发生了火灾（Telegraph & Argus 2016年12月28日报道了六年内发生的103起工厂火灾）。德拉蒙德磨坊内部特征的永久记录，包括“复杂的层压椭圆拱形木桁架系统”如果在2016年1月的毁灭性火灾之前进行扫描，这些建筑（列入名单的建筑条目）本可以保存下来。布拉德福德理事会提出了四个优先米尔斯，并将构成该项目的主要重点，并对其设置和背景进行了进一步详细审查：空调房-二级上市-1902;标签为“国家重要的和在该国的同类之一”（历史英格兰有关规划应用）。1780年：约克郡第一家棉纺厂，失去了大部分相关建筑，并面临"进一步快速恶化或织物损失的直接风险"。（历史英格兰的遗产在危险登记册）。惠特利米尔斯-二级上市-1863年;大型建筑群的相关结构，其中一些空置和年久失修。拉科尼亚建筑物-指定遗产资产-约1880 - 1920年;检查证实了原始固定装置、配件和结构元件的保存情况非常好，具有区域意义（WYAAS对规划申请的回应）。该提案将扩大这些建筑物的现存记录。在许多情况下，这些记录是稀疏的，目前只包括有限的照片，平面图和描述。博物馆-进行3D扫描和摄影测量，以数字方式记录四个主要的磨坊建筑，这些建筑被历史悠久的英格兰和布拉德福德理事会确定为优先事项。- 在作为重建工作的一部分进行改造之前，制作感兴趣结构的高度详细的模型作为数字记录，以防止进一步的损失。- 整理与这些标志性建筑相关的档案来源（口头描述、照片、报纸等），以全面了解布拉德福德工业米尔斯及其遗产的生活各个方面-在米尔斯的生活中，布拉德福德地区的各个结构和地区的形象。将这些建筑物的简介汇集在一起，发展互动故事，向学校和广大公众介绍。- 开发和测试一种可访问的格式，用于向不同的受众提供，为后代提供布拉德福德遗产的这一重要遗产的互动记录。这项工作将大大改善对布拉德福德遗产的更广泛理解，并保护重要信息。拟议的博士学位是及时的，因为布拉德福德理事会预计开始一个HLF城市景观遗产项目，该项目的重点是在布拉德福德的"城市之巅"的相关属性。

RESEARCH AIMTo record, interpret and present the globally important industrial heritage of the City of Bradford using 3D digital documentation, thereby also helping to safeguard it from the threat of neglect and decay.CONTEXT & SIGNIFICANCEBradford's industrial heritage is of international significance. During the 19th century the city was the centre of the world's worsted trade and became renowned as Worstedopolis (William Cudworth (1888) Worstedopolis). Recent reports have highlighted the critical significance and state of some of the buildings associated with this heritage and provide examples of regeneration projects that have supported economic and housing growth through mill conversion, along with displaying the key roles that such mills play in place-making (Historic England (2017) Engines of Prosperity: new uses for old mills). Tragically many have been subject to fires in recent years (Telegraph & Argus 28th Dec 2016 reported 103 Mill fires within six years). A permanent record of the internal features of Drummond's Mill, including the 'sophisticated system of laminated elliptical arched timber trusses'(listed building entry)could have been saved, had they been scanned before the devastating fire in January 2016.Four priority mills have been proposed by Bradford Council, and would comprise the main focus of the project, with their setting and context examined in further detail:Conditioning House-Grade II listed -1902;Labelled as 'nationally important and one of its kind in the country'(Historic England concerning planning application). Low Mill-Grade II listed -1780;The first cotton spinning mill in Yorkshire which has lost most of its associated buildings and is under "immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric" (Historic England's Heritage at risk register).Whetley Mills-Grade II listed -1863;Large complex of associated structures, some of which arevacant and in disrepair.Laconia Building-Designated heritage asset-C.1880-1920;Inspectionhasconfirmed unusually good survival of original fixtures, fittings and structural elements andisof regional significance (WYAAS response to planning application).The proposal will expand on extant records held for these buildings. In many cases these records are sparse and currently compriseoflimitedphotographs, plan drawings and descriptions. OBJECTIVES-undertake 3D scanning and photogrammetry to digitally document four major Mill buildings identified as a priority by Historic England and Bradford Council. -produce highly detailed models of the structures of interest as a digital record, prior to remodelling as part of regeneration work and to safeguard against further loss. -collate archival sources associated with these iconic buildings (oral accounts, photographs, newspapers etc) to produce a comprehensive picture of all aspects of life concerning the industrial mills and their heritage within Bradford -a persona of the individual structures and the district of Bradford during the life of the mills.-draw together these building biographies to develop interactive stories for presentation to schools and the wider public. -develop and test an accessible format for delivering to diverse audience, providing an interactive record of this important legacy of Bradford's heritage for generations to come.Collectively this work will dramatically refine the wider understanding of Bradford's heritage and safeguard important information. The proposed PhD is timely since Bradford Council anticipate the start of an HLF Townscape Heritage project tha tis focused on related properties at the 'Top of Town' in Bradford.
