Abstract

The article deals with the directions of reconstruction of the Kiev River Station andPost Squarein the present conditions due to the loss of the original purpose of the objects. A general analysis and proposals for the improvement of thePost Squarearea were made. In addition to the transport and communication hub, the Post Office is an important element of the city's public space. The main task is to preserve the object of cultural heritage - the river station, to renovate it into an art and art center. The building of the river station has lost its original function and today it is chaotically used as a platform for temporary events (cinema, photo shoots, food festivals, gallery for artists). The concept of development and change with the application of the "Valletta Principles for the Conservation and Management of Historic Cities and Urban Areas" is proposed. Of particular importance in the document is the preservation and respect for intangible values, including the "spirit of place" (genius loci). The Post Office Square houses two landmarks of the "Coastal City Quarter of Medieval Kiev" - a monument of archeology of national importance and the building of the River Station - a monument of architecture, town planning, monumental art of local importance. To enhance the "spirit of the place", use the facade of the River Station building as a canvas for a light show that will showcase the expositions of the Underground Museum and the Mosaic of the River Station, and highlight the activities that will take place. The light show on the facade of the River Station building will help to promote and enhance the "spirit of the place". In addition, this evening event will attract great attention of tourists and locals. The practice of urban regeneration based on old unused territories emerged in the 19th century inEngland. The urban concept has made it possible to use new features for redeveloped spaces and to streamline the territories of former industrial enterprises, which has affected the infrastructure of many cities in the world. -aesthetic effect of the existing environment, develop the tourism industry, bring investment, stimulate the city as a whole.
