Abstract

The spatial transformation is an important part of existing industrial buildings renovation, but the traditional ways of spatial transformation focused on theoretical analysis, and lacked quantitative research. The Space Syntax theory is introduced into the existing industrial building renovation in this paper. A space model of Chongqing Industrial Museum & Creative Park was built with convex space using the connectivity, depth, integration to measure the permeability, convenience and distribution degree of the space, to analyze its spatial form quantitatively and explore the effect of spatial arrangement on function. Taking the functional orientation into consideration, analyze whether the transformation plan is reasonable, put forward reasonable transformation strategies, and provide reference for future industrial building renovation.
