Renovation for a New Use
Many building are in good condition and tearing them down would be a waste of time and money. Many old parts of the old building can be rebuilt and re-utilized for a new use, given a second life. The reconstruction process needs to consider the basic form of the current building and the desired functions of the new building.
Now hear a talk on the same subject.
Question: Using the professor’s examples, explain renovation for a new use.
Let me give you an example of renovating buildings for a new use. There was a chocolate factory located in Southern California which had a twenty-year history and the head of the company thought about tearing it down. After negotiating with the mayor of the city, the boss agreed to renovate the chocolate factory and turn it into a new theater. They came up with this plan based on the good features of the factory: the tall ceiling was good for sound effects and the big windows on the wall were good for enjoying the view outside. The renovation process was quite successful. The construction workers built a big stage in the front and the huge space in the factory can accommodate 1,500 people. They equipped the theater with an excellent stereo system which worked pretty well in the factory’s huge space. Viewers felt satisfied with this new theater and it did not cost much money to build it.
