The concept that valuable industrial heritage should be wisely conserved and reutilised in post-industrial societies has gradually been a consensus. Practices of heritage regeneration have become widespread in industrially developed countries. This study summarises current industrial heritage regeneration practices into three modes: ‘Continuation’, ‘Replacement’, and ‘Integration’. The third mode is rare in practice but regarded as significant research and practice value. This unique mode is detailly analysed through the literature review, archival research, and field research on a case, Magna Science Adventure Centre. The success of this case is thus attributed to its innovative regeneration design, which organically integrates the original and new identities of the steelworks in the fields of theme, function, structure, architectural form, etc. Further, the strengths, inadequacies and applicability of the third mode represented by this case are discussed. The ‘Integration’ mode of industrial heritage regeneration is considered worthy of further study and promotion if the relatively stringent prerequisites for implementing this mode can be achieved.
