Research on Structural Renewal and Renovation Strategies for Industrial Heritage Projects—A Case Study of the Structural Renovation of the “Dahua 1935” Project

The wave of post-industrial evolution has led to the emergence of numerous industrial heritage renovation projects in recent years. The renovation and upgrading of the Dahua 1935 project preserve the memories of the previous industrial age while incorporating modern materials and technologies, resulting in a design that blends traditional and contemporary elements. This has made Dahua 1935 a new intellectual property (IP) symbol of Xi’an, earning praise from both residents and tourists from other provinces. Additionally, to achieve a unity of art and technology, Dahua 1935 underwent structural reinforcement and optimization to enhance its aesthetic appeal. This paper aims to further explore methods for structural optimization in the renovation of Xi’an’s industrial heritage projects by conducting on-site investigations, data collection, and structural analysis, building upon the structural analysis of Dahua 1935 in Xi’an.
