Description
Summary:The International Export Company (Kiangsu) (IEC (Kiangsu)) was the earliest reinforced concrete industrial building group in China. Among similar buildings preserved to date, its huge scale and early construction period are very rare. In recent years, after the enterprise moved away, the IEC (Kiangsu) was transformed into a landmark complex integrating commerce, culture, and tourism according to the requirements of regional development. For early modern reinforced concrete buildings, in order to preserve their value as heritage sites and confirm their contemporary value as a space resource that meets political and economic requirements, it is necessary to conduct detailed historical research and value evaluation on them. The orientation of value evaluation must consider both heritage values and contemporary values. The choice of different technical means is adapted to the dynamics of value evaluation.
