NEW CULTURAL USE OF THE POWER PLANT
Original language description
Due to the processes of deindustrialization and urban regeneration, former industrial buildings, especially former power plants, are being converted to fit a new purpose. Specifically, this paper addresses the conversion of power plants to cultural use, which is considered to be a very important topic, as hundreds of decaying, non-functional power plants can be found throughout the world. It is important to rescue some and, by converting them, to give them a new touch and a new use. First, this paper addresses the issues of finding a use for such large buildings and preventing their decay before the investor finds a suitable function for them. Secondly, this paper strives to discuss the most important factors that affect the conversion of power plants aimed at finding new cultural functions for these former industrial buildings, such as museums, workshop space and galleries. Thirdly, this paper deals with the reconstruction of a power plant from the point of view of architectural solutions and details, time of conversions, organizational aspects of the conversion, approach to the immediate surroundings, and financing options. Finally, some trends and opportunities for the reconstruction of similar buildings around the world are outlined in order to show the options for saving them by means of conversion.
