Summary: | This article discusses about the
importance of the industrial revolution and the remains left behind from its
beginnings, which reminds us of an extremely important period very
different from our own. The architecture of the industrial sites from the
second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century
shows us both a unique architectural style, created by the economic needs
of that time, but also a way of life and socio-economic development for
cities. To not lose important remains such as this, in this study, we
proposed the transformation of the important industrial complexes and
buildings in Bucharest decided by their history and former functions,
adding innovative elements to grow their attractiveness. These buildings
currently in a state of degradation, once transformed into different cultural
attractions, will have the purpose of increasing the quality of the spaces
around the city’s center, will help with the gentrifying process of the city’s
abandoned zones, with growing the attractiveness and the revenues of the
city and at the same time they will keep alive the history of the city through
elements of identity which lead to its development. |
