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.

As China’s urbanization development direction has shifted from incremental construction to upgrading existing structures, urban renewal has become an important planning approach, and the gradual micro-renewal model has become a key trend for residential area transformation. Additionally, the local renewal approach focusing on public spaces of residential areas is becoming a new way to enhance the quality of urban public spaces, stimulate urban vitality, and promote sustainable development of regions. Currently, due to the long building years and other factors, old communities have insufficient public facilities, parking difficulties, outdated facilities, and other problems, making it difficult to meet the needs of residents’ lives. This paper takes Baizhifang Street in Xicheng District as an example and starts from the meaning of participatory design, respecting the existing environment and policies in China, discussing the public space problems, selecting the renewal area and formulating design strategies, and finally showcases the actual application of the design in public space renovation.

Research on the Optimization Control Method of Inbound Traffic Flow on On-ramp

Yun Li, Zengqiang Wang — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 13:48:38 +0800

This study aims to optimize the inbound traffic flow on on-ramps by considering low time costs, good speed stability, and high driving safety for mixed traffic flow. The optimal inlet gap is identified in advance, and trajectory guidance for vehicles entering the gap is determined under safety constraints. Based on the initial state and sequence of vehicles entering the merging area, individual vehicle trajectories are optimized sequentially. An optimization model and method for ramp entry trajectories in mixed traffic flow are developed, incorporating on-ramp vehicle entry sequencing and ordinary vehicle trajectory prediction. Key performance indicators, including driving safety, total travel time, parking wait probability, and trajectory smoothness, are compared and analyzed to evaluate the proposed approach.

Cultural heritage and protection is an important part of rural revitalization. Chongming district is a place with special geographical advantages and historical and natural resources in Shanghai. However, after recent investigations, it is found that the cultural heritage and protection of local traditional architecture in Chongming has not been adequately researched. This paper is based on the analysis and abstract of the traditional architectural design elements of Chongming, combined with renewal design projects, hoping to summarize the public space renewal design strategies in Chongming countryside with the characteristics of Chongming, and providing certain reference value to relevant research or design projects in the future.

Research on Intelligent Application of Construction Project Management Method in the New Era

Tiezheng Li, Xiangwei Bai — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 14:40:38 +0800

Intelligence has penetrated all walks of life with the rapid development of information technology. In the field of construction management, the application of intelligent technology is also increasingly extensive. Intelligent management methods can not only improve the efficiency and quality of construction projects but also reduce costs and waste of resources. This paper focuses on the intelligent application of construction project management methods in the new era. By analyzing the problems existing in the current construction management, the application of intelligent technology in every link of project management is expounded, including construction site management, material and equipment management, schedule control, quality supervision, and so on. At the same time, the paper also puts forward relevant suggestions on the popularization and application of intelligent management methods, which provides a reference for the innovative development of construction project management.

Exploration and Example of the Bauhaus Concept of “Integration of Technology and Art” in China’s Architectural Education System

Dongjiao Zhan, Quanzhen Song — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 14:49:33 +0800

The Bauhaus School of Design is the most influential art school of the 20th century and the first higher design school in the world. Its unique educational model also provides a reference example for modern design education and also promotes the development of modern design to a certain extent. Since the Bauhaus design concept was introduced to China in the early 20th century, it has been widely studied and applied in China. This article mainly expounds on the different expressions of the idea of “skill integration” in the Bauhaus education concept in China’s architectural education system from the aspects of basic education and architectural design achievements. By promoting the comprehensive and open development of architectural design disciplines, and cultivating “theory and practice” and “technology and art” together, it creates an architectural design education and training system with Chinese characteristics, provides theoretical guidance for Chinese architectural education, and promotes the innovative development of China’s education system and talent training in the new era.
