Towards the Methodology for the Reuse of Industrial Heritage in China
Full text linkThe theme of this dissertation is to reflect on the reuse methodology for the industrial heritage, through the analysis of different reuse ways used in the Chinese cities. A comparative perspective with typical methodologies and strategies used in Europe is barely sketched in order to illuminate the specificities of the Chinese situation. The discussion on the industrial heritage mainly focuses on the immovable tangible industrial heritage in modern and contemporary time (after 1860), including the industrial buildings and industrial sites. They are called Industrial Architecture Heritage, according to definition provided by the Architectural Society of China established in the Industrial Architecture Heritage Academic Committee (IAHAC), which is the first academic organization for industrial heritage preservation in China. The other types of industrial heritage, such as the industrial equipment, production technology and enterprise culture, are also significant and should not be ignored in the reuse.
Based on the main question--what is the methodology for the reuse of industrial heritage in China--there are some sub-questions: What are the main characteristics of the industrial heritage in China? How can the industrial heritage be recognized and protected in China? What is the regulation for the industrial heritage in China? What are the operation mechanisms of current reuse approaches for the industrial heritage in China? What are the problems of the conventional reuse methodology in China? What can we learn from the management and reuse methodology in Europe? Where is the balance between preservation and transformation of industrial heritage in China? How is it possible to deal with the conflict between economic goals and the value enhancement of industrial heritage?
The whole dissertation is divided into six chapters: (1) Identifying the Industrial Heritage in China: Dilemma and Opportunities; (2) Exploring the Reuse Ways of Industrial Heritage in China; (3) Industrial Heritage in the Context of Europe: Conceptual and Methodological Issues; (4) Methodology for the Reuse of Industrial Building --Case Study: 1933 Old Millfun, Shanghai; (5) Methodology for the Regeneration of Historic Area with Industrial Heritage--Case study: Tianzifang , Shanghai; (6) Distinguishing the Methodology for the Reuse of Industrial Heritage in China.
Their first part has a brief review of the question of industrial heritage between demolition, protection and reuse under the background of distinctive situation in China. The Chinese definition of industrial heritage is discussed with the industrialization process and its particularity different from the western counterpart. Since the management and regulations of industrial heritage are under the cultural heritage protection system, therefore, it is inevitable to have a discuss on the cultural heritage in terms of conceptual dimension and the legal management system in order to explain the difficulty in the protection of industrial heritage.
The second chapter focuses on the different reuse ways of industrial heritage in several Chinese cities. The main reason for such a regional perspective is that the practice of industrial heritage reuse has been largely a result of their unique industry development history accompanied by the uneven policies in protection and reuse. As a result, a total of five cities are selected in this part: two municipalities directly under the Central Government—Beijing and Shanghai, which are the biggest metropolis in China; another two cities in the eastern coastal region—Tianjin and Nanjing; and one city in the north-east region—Harbin, a typical city in China’s traditional industrial base. They all industrial cities and facing the problem of abandoned industrial buildings and facilities after the de-industrialization. By reading the different reuse ways and protection policies and implementation in these cities located in different regions, the big picture of industrial heritage reuse in China would be showed together.
The main aim of the third chapter is to read the evolution of industrial heritage’s conceptual and methodology dimensions in the Europe context. The concepts of “industrial archeology”, “industrial heritage” and “industrial landscape” are discussed respectively. It could say that industrial heritage always plays a central role when the European countries are dealing with these industrial remains throughout the social and economic programs. Therefore, the innovation of methodologies and the diversification of strategies, including the “patrimonialization”, industrial heritage tourism, Ecomuseum and trans-border collaboration, are studied in order to give some useful experience for the conservation and reuse of industrial heritage in China
In the fourth and fifth chapters, with the two case studies of 1933 old Millfun and Tianzifang area, the specific reuse methodology of industrial heritage is present in both architecture and urban level.
In the first case, through the restoration and renovation from 2006 to 2008, the original abattoir is reused as spaces for creative industry, such as conference, exhibition, banquet and office. This study, including the historical research on the realization of architecture and the reuse methodology research, shows how the protected industrial heritage can be rehabilitated with the new uses. The aim of historical research is to reveal the original designs and construction process of architecture, such as the original function, original architectural space, original material and original technology, basing on architectural archives from Shanghai Municipal Archives. Meanwhile, through reading the drawings, interviewing the architects who design it and site investigation, the strategy and methodology used for 1933 old millfun are studied in details.
In the second case of Tianzifang, the mixed industrial and residential area was transformed into art community and commercial space. The aim of this research is to explore that how did a decline historical block mingled with industrial and residential functions gradually become such a popular and vibrant place with community-initiated rehabilitation in the context of huge transform over the past twenty years. Through the literature review and fieldwork, the historical geography of this area and the transformation of this area are revealed. Then the particularities of Tianzifang’s dramatic regeneration process are identified in the aim of contributing industrial heritage in the rehabilitation of historic districts.
The sixth chapter is trying to summarize the characters of the typical reuse modes, such as government-leading reuse, enterprise-leading, developer-leading and government-assisting reuse, “bottom-up” reuse, pointing out their operation mechanism and the existing problems. Finally, this study suggest the methodology for the reuse of industrial heritage by offering the protocols in investigation, assessment, feasibility study and design principles for reuse
Sì, siamo dilettanti. Cioè l'autentica architettura cinese contemporanea - Dialogo a più voci con il piccolo team dell' Amateur Architecture Studio: the Pritzker 2012 Wang Shu e la socia Lu Wenyu
No full textConversation with the voices of the Amateur Architecture Studio: the Pritzker 2012 Wang Shu and his partner Lu Wenyu. They illustrate the meaning of such a Prize for the Chinese architecture. They explain both why, in Chinese architectural and landscape tradition, the concepts of “façade” and “elevation” were not important, while the one of “courtyard” was imperative; and how they translate these concepts in their architectures. They clarify in which way Aldo Rossi and Carlo Scarpa influenced their approach to architecture. They describe their academic activities in the China Academy of Art in Hangzhoug
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
