Abstract:

Temporary use is an effective attempt made by western countries in promoting urban renewal and realizing the sustainable protection of architectural heritage in recent years. As one of the first countries in Western Europe to promote the development and reuse of industrial heritage, Westergasfabriek in the capital of the Netherlands, has formed a temporary utilization strategy of heritage protection and function replacement in the development process of decades, which not only effectively protects a number of industrial heritage with outstanding value, but also injects new vitality into the urban regeneration around the abandoned industrial zone. This paper reviews the development process of Westergasfabriek, after being determined as a national immovable architectural heritage, from the temporary use without clear objectives in the initial stage to the joint development strategy of determination and uncertain temporary use, and further combs and discusses the successful experience of the project, in order to provide references for urban renewal and rejuvenation in China and provide beneficial enlightenment for the sustainable protection, development and utilization of industrial heritage.
