Abstract
Dealing with brownfields is a hot issue within different disciplines. Based on the practices and theories of landscape architecture and urban planning, this paper presents a design project related to the brownfield in a post-industrial area in Beijing (China), discussing a strategy for the brownfield regeneration and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage. Through a comprehensive landscape design process, including data collection, SWOT analysis, as well as landscape design inside the Shougang industrial area, this paper also introduces a general geographic context of this area, such as the soil condition, social problems, landscape resources, etc. After on-site fieldwork, the authors collected first-hand materials from this industrial area and tried to make use of them to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of the site, to discuss the objectives and strategies of this project for its future redevelopment. From the viewpoint of visual landscape, problem-solving, and heritage protection, a dynamic design strategy was applied to this case. Finally, a green industrial park with the memory of the industrial age was created, which aims to conserve the valuable heritage in this industrial area, at the same time, provide an alternative perspective for the adaptive reuse of brownfields in Shougang.
