Cultural heritage is evidence of the industrial modernization process and interaction between imported architecture and indigenous local art. Conservation of industrial monuments requires identifying the comprehensive values regarding the context and society during the past and present to provide the field for reuse and new use offer. This study aims to search for definitions and values of industrial heritage through Iranian and global references based on the logical argument method, and then recognize these values in the Barq-e-Lame Factory after doing the case study. It has been attempted to suggest a novel use for the factory based on the values of this site. In summary, values of the environmental category include the central location of the factory in the neighborhood, its proximity to the urban service centers, and its integration with the landscape of Tabriz Bazaar. In addition, the physical and functional aspects of the factory, including large lands and diverse manufacturing sites, administrative area, and green space provide significant architectural merits. Also, technical and manufacturing values of the factory within the operational cycle, machinery, and loom sites that contribute to entrepreneurial potentials in the region are identified. Ultimately, this factory offers a historical and aesthetical value that is related to social and cultural significance attributed to influential ownership and manufacturing of high-quality products in Iran. Use change has been emphasized in the process of factory reuse to strengthen entrepreneurship and production. This measure consists of sustainable development and urban development and enhances livability in the urban environment by protecting the importance of industrial history.
