Abstract

Many cities around the world are undergoing industrial restructuring and economic
transformation, and the original traditional industries are facing transformation or relocating
from cities to remote areas, leaving a large number of idle factories in cities. Abandoned
factories and equipment are regarded as a sign of economic recession, so they are often the
first objects to be considered for demolition in urban renewal. However, the industrial
architectural heritage carries the imprint of history and the memory of the city, and the
transformation of industrial heritage is also a very important part of the process of modern
cities. This article mainly takes the Xinyi International Hall in Guangzhou, China as an
example. Through the field investigation method, the author himself has visited many times,
put himself in the shoes of all aspects of the advantages and disadvantages of the renovation
plan, and discussed the problems in reality in depth with the combination of theory. Design
suggestions for cultural regeneration in the renovation design of industrial architectural
heritage are put forward.
