| description | The reconversion of industrial buildings has become a common practice in urban landscapes, due to cultural changes that have occurred in post-industrial societies. However, the need to restore the space that once represented an economic path for self sustainability has generated a new demand for reuse and rehabilitation. By keeping the industrial specificity of the place and adding a new purpose, the industrial landscape is changing from an unused and degraded environment into the city’s heritage. According to the project’s initiators, the reconversion of the Water Plant is an excuse for the regeneration of the surrounding industrial space, thus reviving the city and promoting new spatial practices among its inhabitants. Therefore it has an enormous potential in reshaping the city map. The subject of this case study, the Water Plant in Suceava, has certain particular characteristics derived from its history and its geographical position. The Water Plant was build 100 years ago, during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It represented an important step towards the urbanization of the city, due to its main utility of providing drinking water to its inhabitants. Over time, other modern system of water filtration replaced the plant leaving the building without a clear purpose. Nowadays, the building has been reconverted into a Centre for Architecture, Urban Culture and Landscape, representing a step forward towards postindustrial society. |
