Converting historic textile-industry complexes in European cities:A typology of urban spatial structures of textile-industry complexes, and best conservation and enhancement practices for their conversion

对欧洲许多城市来说，改造历史悠久的工业综合体是一项新的重要任务。建筑和规划实践表明，历史工业综合体是由城市空间结构组成的，在转换为新用途时可以得到保护和增强。在研究方面，出现了这样一个问题，即在改造历史工业建筑群时，什么是保护和加强的最佳做法。最佳实践将根据建筑和保护方面的争论得出的五个标准进行讨论和确定。该研究项目将达到两个目的：1.；识别原纺织工业综合体的历史城市空间结构。因此，类型学将被开发，有助于历史城市设计的研究。2. 找出改造历史工业建筑群的最佳做法。将探讨以下问题：在实践中如何处理保护和加强历史城市空间结构？设计和规划实践将进行比较分析，并确定最佳实践（对建筑的论述有所贡献）。该项目将分析来自欧洲城市的25个具有代表性的案例研究，重点研究八个纺织城市的原纺纱厂和织布厂的改造案例。另外几个案例研究将作为参考小组。将通过数据表/编目和比较分析系统地收集这些病例。此外，调查结果将讨论其与古迹保护和城市发展的相关性。该研究以DFG项目为基础：历史工业建筑与城市发展、创意产业和建筑生产的冲突目标。该作品是申请人实习的主要部分，并将作为主要部分出版。

Converting historic industrial complexes is a new and important task in many European cities. Architectural and planning practices show that historic industrial complexes are composed of urban spatial structures that might be conserved and enhanced during conversion to new uses. For research, the question arises, of what constitutes best practice for conservation and enhancement when converting historic industrial complexes. Best practice will be discussed and identified, based on five criteria derived from debates in architecture and conservation.The research project will achieve two aims: 1. To identify the historic urban spatial structures of former textile-industry complexes. Accordingly, a typology will be developed, contributing to research on historic urban design. 2. To identify best practice in converting historic industrial complexes. The following questions will be addressed: How are the conservation and enhancement of historic urban spatial structures handled in practice? Design and planning practices will be comparatively analyzed, and best practice will be identified (contributing to the discourse on architecture).The project will analyze 25 representative case studies from European cities, focusing on case study conversions of former spinning and weaving mills in eight textile cities. Several additional case studies will function as a reference group. The cases will be systematically captured through data sheets / cataloguing and comparative analysis. Additionally, the findings will be discussed in terms of their relevance for monument protection and urban development. The research builds on the DFG project: Historical Industrial Architecture and Conflicting Objectives of Urban Development, Creative Industries and Architectural Production. The work forms a major part of the Habilitation of the applicant, and will be published as such.
