A dissertação propõe-se a analisar as tipologias arquitetônicas e os padrões de implantação de edifícios destinados à produção de louças de pó-de-pedra para uso doméstico (faianças e porcelanas). Foram selecionadas para estudo dez unidades fabris construídas entre 1913 e 1940 na cidade de São Paulo e nos atuais municípios de Mauá e São Caetano do Sul. A discussão proposta vincula-se ao tema do patrimônio industrial e pretende contribuir para o reconhecimento, análise e preservação de remanescentes da arquitetura industrial paulista, bem como, ao problematizar as questões metodológicas surgidas, visa estimular trabalhos análogos para outros ramos industriais. Tem como objetivo a elaboração de um inventário retrospectivo das referidas fábricas muitas delas já desativadas , utilizando-se a documentação levantada que é composta de iconografia, publicações e estatísticas sobre a indústria, depoimentos, cartografia e, ainda, de referências aos projetos dos edifícios fabris, às técnicas construtivas empregadas em sua execução e à especialização dos ambientes produtivos, atentos às relações possíveis entre estes e suas respectivas fontes de energia e matérias-primas e estruturas auxiliares. As análises resultantes contemplaram a multiplicidade dos temas surgidos metodologia da História, tipologias arquitetônicas, técnicas construtivas tradicionais e arqueologia industrial , cotejando a bibliografia pertinente e sugerindo diretrizes para o trato com a diversidade das fontes documentais e seu uso em estudos histórico-tipológicos com vistas à preservação do patrimônio industrial. / This dissertation intends to analyse architectural typologies of the implementation patterns of buildings meant to the production of stoneware pottery for home use (faience and porcelain). Ten factory units built between years 1913 and 1940 in the city of São Paulo and in the municipal districts known at present as Mauá and São Caetano do Sul were selected for study. The proposed discussion relates to the theme of industrial heritage; it is intended to contribute for acknowledgement, analysis and preservation of the remains of São Paulo State´s industrial architecture as well as it intends to estimulate analogous paperworks on other industrial fields by problematizing methodological issues arisen. Its objective is the elaboration of a retrospective inventory of these factories many of which are now inactive using the assembled documentation comprising iconography, publications and statistics about the factory, statements, cartography, as well as references to the factory buildings projects, to the construction tecniques used and to the specialization of the production environments, attentive to the possible relations between them and their respective energy and raw materials sources, and auxiliary structures. The resulting analyses contemplate the multiplicity of themes arisen History methodology, architectural typologies, traditional construction techniques, and industrial archaeology collating pertinent bibliography and suggesting lines of direction to deal with the diversity of documental sources and its use in historical-typological studies aiming industrial heritage preservation.

Cultural and creative industries are often considered as one of the latest knowledge-based economy that prevailed around the world. Globalization makes the concept of cultural and creativity spread all over the world. The rise of the creative class, which has permanently transformed our economy and society, has rapidly transformed the world (Florida, 2002). Florida has suggested the creative classes have become more pronounced in recent decades and people around the world start to live differently, pursuing a new stage of lifestyles (Florida, 2002). In Hong Kong, cultural and creative industry has only been considered in the Policy Address in 2009, which has become as one of the six new pillars industry in Hong Kong. The transformation of the economic and industrial structure in Hong Kong has injected new value-added elements in economic development. How could Hong Kong react to this change? Currently, the territory does not even have policies that promoted cultural and creative industry. Cultural and creative industries are not greatly promoted. Different artists joined together and formed different artists organization in order to protect their own value and promote the concept of cultural and arts among citizens. In this dissertation, the clustering of cultural and creative industry in Hong Kong will be discussed. Different concepts and theories about the shaping of a cultural city will be analysed. Locational factors that lead to the clustering of cultural and creative industry in Hong Kong will be examined. A local case study – Fo Tan – will be examined by all the theories and concepts regarding to this clustering effect of cultural and creative industry. Fo Tan is one of the most significant industrial areas with most cultural and creative industries in Hong Kong. Different locational factors will be examined and see if they could be fitted into the local context. Moreover, the institutional setting of cultural and creative industry and urban planning system will be analysed and see if there are any deficiencies. With all the above mentioned, this dissertation hopes to see if government policies could help the development of cultural and creative industries and if different sectors in cultural and creative industries could co-exist in Fo Tan. Looking into the future, we would like to see what the Government or other private sector could do in order to help consolidate the cluster of cultural and creative industry in Fo Tan. / published_or_final_version / Urban Planning and Design / Master / Master of Science in Urban Planning

Adaptive reuse of industrial buildings into creative spaces has recently sparked global (Mommaas, 2000, 2004; Daniels, Ho, and Hutton, 2012)and local interests (Leung, 2010; Kong, 2012). The clustering effects of creative spaces have also inspired extensive research on how creative spaces could contribute to urban development and in particular economic growth (Pratt, Andy C., 2004; Evans, 2009; Mommaas, 2009). This dissertation critically reviews existing literature and examines the hypothesis with a comparative study of the Fotanian Artist Village (Fotanian) and Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC), which represent two distinctive development trajectories namely organic and planned creative spaces in Hong Kong. It is argued that the development of creative spaces in industrial buildings is strongly correlated to the intention of the public sector to promote creative economies, as well as market assumptions in dealing with obsolescence in urban environment. Both are governed by the concept of neoliberalism, which advocates utilization of land resources based on exchange value rather than use value, and the use of creative spaces as urban development tools. Thus, developing creative spaces in obsolete places through adaptive reuse would restrain the organic growth of creative spaces, or result in its commodification and institutionalization. The hidden neoliberal agenda has also led to the misconception that creative spaces should be assessed for its efficiency and effectiveness as a cluster based on the agglomeration effect of industrial cluster in traditional sense. Fotanian and JCCAC are selected to test against their success performances based on the cluster theory. The two cases are compared to examine whether the planned is less successful than the organic as suggested by the literature. Findings suggest that neither one of them entirely fulfills all the conditions of creative cluster identified in the literature for a successful creative space. Indeed the clustering effect is an inconclusive, if not misleading, criterion of successful creative spaces, given that the development of creative spaces in cities might bring a variety of benefits. Studies have shown that the adaptive reuse of obsolete places might pose potential threats to creative spaces. It is argued that the success of organic and planned creative spaces can only be possible in the long term when breeding and sustaining factors are introduced. / published_or_final_version / Urban Planning and Design / Master / Master of Science in Urban Planning
