Abstract

This study details the conservation and restoration of Building No. 2 at Xingguo Hotel, a significant historical site in Shanghai, with a particular focus on its civil engineering and architectural structural aspects. Employing Evidence-Based Design Methods for evaluation, the restoration project centered on preserving the building's historical, artistic, and architectural significance while addressing structural challenges. Key interventions included indoor space restoration to revive the original layout, facade reconstruction guided by historical references, and innovative structural adaptations. These efforts aimed to safeguard the building’s historical integrity while accommodating contemporary urban needs. This project underscores the importance of a methodical approach to historical building restoration, harmonizing structural considerations with conservation to preserve cultural heritage in an urban environment.
