4.2 Shanghai Shipyard：Cooperative Investment Const...
Shanghai Shipyard has a glorious history of more than 150 years.Its predecessors are British-British Shipyard and China Merchants Bureau Machinery Shipyard.After the founding of P.R.C.,it was incorporated into Shanghai Shipyard.In March 1985,it was renamed Shanghai Shipyard.At one time,10 000 tons of huge ships were launched in Shanghai Shipyard,which created the brilliance of China's shipbuilding industry.Nowadays,the width and depth of Huangpu River can no longer meet the needs of modern shipbuilding industry.Shanghai Shipyard relocated,and the last large and high-quality land in Lujiazui was transformed into Lujiazui Binjiang Financial City.From big ships to busy financial elites,Shanghai witnessed the historical changes and the transformation of China's manufacturing industry to service industry.
In the renovation project of Shanghai Shipyard,the new Binjiang Financial City has integrated functions of housing,art,office and commerce.While maximizing economic benefits,the historical culture of Shanghai Shipyard has been preserved as much as possible.On the one hand,part of the industrial heritage is preserved,such as the famous“platform”,which used to be a small water track of 10 000 tons of ships,has now been transformed into a broad walkway for white-collar workers and citizens,which corresponds to the former factory buildings and workshops will also be transformed into exhibition space for cultural and artistic entertainment.On the other hand,it is a continuation of the past.For example,the new buildings show the industrial history of the area in detail.For example,the new Pujiang Shuanghui Tower,the shape of the twin towers is similar to the hull,the elevator buttons adopt the rudder shape,and the emergency door is designed into the shape of the through-hatch door.Shanghai Shipyard has not disappeared because of the demolition and relocation,and the culture of the shipyard has been carefully preserved and presented in another form that is more acceptable to people.(https://www.daowen.com)
The successful renovation of Shanghai Shipyard Project is inseparable from the joint efforts of China Shipbuilding Industry Group,a large stateowned enterprise,and CITIC Pacific,a listed company in Hong Kong.Since the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement in 2005,the two companies have spent more than 20 billion yuan on the integral development of the old site of Shanghai Shipyard.While maximizing its economic value,they have fully considered the cultural heritage and artistic value,and have made a certain degree of preservation and innovation and utilization.They are excellent examples of industrial heritage transformation and innovation and utilization.
