영문 초록

The Post Industrial era produced urban environments where what were once vibrant parts of the city became blighted as traditional industries closed. Just over ten years ago, the city of Bilbao was an unknown port in Spain that was on the decline due to the loss of shipping contracts. The city commissioned Frank Gehry to design and build the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The museum became such an iconic structure that the city of Bilbao is now a tourist magnet with millions of visitors every year. In 2000, the architecture firm of Herzog and De Meuron was commissioned to design the museum UK Tate Modern to display the national collection of international modern art. The site selected was an abandoned power plant on the south bank of the river Thames, an area that was neglected. The area is now a vibrant tourist destination. The object of this paper is to investigate how the relationship between architecture, urban tourism and adaptive reuse can play a key role in the revitalization of areas impacted by urban decay. While the idea of using tourism as a vehicle for economic development has been approached in different ways, Judd (1991) focused and developed ideas around the economic role of tourist precincts that had been curved out of urban decay. Based on the findings of this study, a strong case can be made for the concept of adaptive reuse not as a panacea, but as a vehicle for revitalization and growth based on urban tourism.
