从建构主义的角度,研究广州红专厂的空间功能置换和游客感知,空间功能的置换具体表现为物质载体工业建筑和机器设备的外观改造及用途变化,而游客感知则通过分析游客对工业遗产空间的感知情况,探讨空间置换后产生和传达出的意义。通过比较这些意义与工业遗产价值的关系,可以更好的理解工业遗产空间的消费主义改造方式,也可以更好的理解创意产业空间所体现的当今社会对工业遗产的态度。研究发现,游客将红专厂理解为一个文化艺术和休闲消费的场所,而不是工业文明的记忆空间。红专厂工业空间的创意产业园式改造,传递出的已经不是工业文化的内涵,而是新的消费意义,实际上是工业文化向消费文化转变的过程。这种再利用方式与真正意义上的工业遗产保护是有所偏离的。

Heritage is the construction of the past. In this paper, Redtory in Guangzhou was taken as a case to explore the function change and interpretation of industrial heritage under the influence of consumerism. In modern society, cultural commercialization which comes along with consumerism and globalization impacts China deeply. Under the guidance of the artists, industrial sites have been transformed into new cultural production and consumption sites linked to art and creative industry. In Guangzhou, along with the transformation of the old city and industrial restructuring from secondary industry to tertiary industry, a lot of old factories have been converted into creative industry parks. During this process, the functions of industrial buildings, machines and equipments are changed. The meaning of Creative Industry Park is no longer industrial culture but the actual process from industrial culture to consumer culture. There are three characteristics in this constructive process: main body of construction changes from the original workers to artists and other cultural producers; industrial history and culture have been disassembled into pieces with highly selective and fragmentation trends; industry is beautified and combined with fashion and art, to convey to the public often petty, art, nostalgia and cultural perception and understanding.
