상해 웨스트번드 뮤지엄을 통한 문화적 재생 방향에 관한 연구 - 리노베이션 사례를 중심으로 -

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) In modern society, idle industrial facilities are being regenerated into new spaces in response to regional, social, and cultural needs. In particular, China began to see the activation of the “culture industry” in the late 1990s, and the Huangpu River area in Shanghai was developed for the Shanghai EXPO in 2010. In 2010, Shanghai City and Xuhui District shut down large factories and airports in the West Bund, which was formerly the center of transportation, logistics, and production, achieving successful cultural regeneration through the development of the "Xuhui Waterfront Master Plan" under the initiative of the state-run West Bund Group. This study considers the architectural and spatial aspects of the formation process and renovation museum cases in Shanghai’s West Bund, formerly called the “artless land.” Furthermore, the study aims to identify specific analysis results and cultural regeneration directions. (Method) The study’s geographical scope is limited to the West Bund in the Xuhui District and upstream of the Huangpu River. The spatial scope is to include four renovated museums built in the West Bund. First, the research method analyzed the background, definition, and characteristics of cultural regeneration through literature. Next, the factors for case analysis were derived. Second, the West Bund’s formation process, status, and policies were studied using interview and literature data. Third, a case analysis, using drawings and photographs, was conducted, with a focus on cultural regeneration characteristics. (Results) The results of the analysis show that all four cases received outstanding evaluations in terms of identity. In particular, space planning is excellent, considering past memories and the characteristics of exhibition space. Second, through the creation of exterior public spaces, the West Bund Art Center and Tank Shanghai have high values as social and cultural public spaces in the region. Finally, in all cases except the West Bund Art Center, the focus is on commercial operation strategies and exhibition attraction, while its role as a public cultural facility in the region is lacking. (Conclusions) This study used qualitative research methods to explore the direction of cultural regeneration through the case of a renovated museum in the West Bund. In sum, the “government-guided, market-based operations” policy is an important government policy that focuses on public organizations with cultural and social perceptions, rather than on individuals. Furthermore, it is necessary to establish a district identity (DI) that takes into account the balance between business and publicness. Moreover, development directions are needed, considering the scale balance and connectivity with respect to cultural regeneration facilities and their surroundings. Instead of a one-off visiting space for visitors and residents, there is a need for social overhead capital and public design to benefit pedestrians.
