5年前我们曾经以“建筑再利用”为题探讨了当时中国萌动着的城市与建筑更新改造的主题。当时光转瞬,我们再次关注旧建筑的何去何从时,我们发现从有历史价值的建筑到几乎没有历史层面意义的普通旧建筑,被重新界定身份。原本不被关注的旧建筑,如产业建筑在更新中被重新定义,转而成为艺术时尚的基地。旧建筑价值被发现或被赋予新的内容,历史似乎被再次制造,其间所引发的文化和社会层面的探讨是必然的,所存在的问题也是多元的。本期希望给予一个讨论的平台,从一些可能的角度, 呈现当前中国旧建筑再生的图景,抛砖引玉式的探讨其间的现象和问题。 Five years ago, we used the theme of “Building Reuse,” to discuss the theme of urban renewal in China's sprawling cities and buildings at that time. At this time of light, when we look again at where the old buildings go from here, we find that the redevelopment of identities from historic buildings to ordinary old buildings with little historical significance. Old buildings that were not originally noticed, such as industrial buildings, were redefined in the update and turned into an art fashion base. The value of the old buildings was found or given new content, history seems to be made again, during which the cultural and social aspects triggered by the exploration is inevitable, the problems are manifold. This issue hopes to give a platform for discussion, presenting the picture of the current regeneration of old Chinese architecture from a number of possible perspectives and discussing the phenomena and problems in the meantime.
