A Study on the Meme Features Appear in Renewal Space -Focusing on the Renewal Project of the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in German-

Sustainable and effective urban renewal can be achieved through the concept of 'Meme space,' which addresses contextual deficiencies by integrating cultural evolution. A study on the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Germany demonstrates that true renewal spaces exhibit organic characteristics, evolving through phases such as Mimesis, Memeplex, and Metameme. This approach allows for detailed analysis of organic changes and ensures a circulation system where new and old elements continuously exchange feedbacks. The research combines theoretical analysis, expression characteristics, and case studies to highlight the broader urban scope of Meme space, offering solutions to reckless development and lack of contextualization.
