Changing the function of industrial buildings: Survey

Abstract

The paper analyses the re-use of defunct industrial buildings paying special attention to the examples to be found in Budapest. It gives an account of the fate of the industrial buildings having lost their function and the reasons of the changes as well as the conditions promoting and hindering such changes in the function. The main goal of the research work is to elaborate a system of conditions enabling the analysis of the implemented re-uses and the various buildings using uniform criteria and the comparison of the various examples. The system of conditions extend to the grouping by the usual functions, but consider the location, the monument protection features, the floor-plan and the ownership of the property as well. The systematization assists the reuse and the changing of the function and, in addition, it can expediently be used to the scientific analysis of the implemented re-use and the classification as well.Rad analizira ponovnu upotrebu zastarelih industrijskih zgrada, sa posebnim osvrtom na primere koji se mogu naci u Budimpesti. Rad opisuje stanje industrijskih zgrada koje su izgubile svoju funkciju i razloge za promenu kao i uslove koji potpomazu ili ometaju promene funkcije. Glavni cilj istrazivanja je da se sacini sistem uslova koji omogucavaju analizu mogucih revitalizacija i ponovnog koriscenja zgrada, koriscenjem jednakih kriterijuma uporedjujuci razlicite primere. Sistem uslova ukljucuju grupisanje po zajednickim funkcijama, ali sa osvrtom na lokaciju, zastitu istorijskih spomenika, izgled osnove objekta i vlasnicke odnose. Sistematizacija ce pomoci vracanje u upotrebu i promenu funkcije zgrada, i takodje moze biti iskoriscena u naucnoj analizi vracanja u funkciju i u klasifikaciji.
