Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 法國語文學系碩士班 === 102 === Henri Lefebvre contends that material "space" is essentially a political domain. More specifically, urban space is an active representation of how economic theory and methods influence political ideology; the planning of urban space is a manifestation of political norms which then shape society and culture. The capitalist system appropriates urban space to generate profit. Urban facilities and buildings become capital assets; as such, planning of urban space can now be consumed, replicated and reproduced for business purposes.
This thesis applies Henri Lefebvre''s space production theory to three cases of abandoned spaces being reproduced to become valuable assets by rethinking their function, orientation and historical significance. The selected cases are Musee d’Orsay in France, Huashan1914 Creative Park in Taipei and Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
