Abstract

The article reviews projects of reconstruction of historical monuments of industrial architecture, which were worked out in Moscow during the last two decades. By the example of presented projects, the author considers two approaches to the problem of their preservation: restorative and radically reconstructive. The first one is the most compliant with the Russian legislation in the field of heritage, while the second one is hotly debated. The author gives examples of radical reconstruction from foreign practices, which show competent and rational methods of this approach, making it possible to achieve positive results. The author describes two examples of radical reconstruction in Moscow: the realized project Presnya-City and the project by Herzog & de Meuron which has not been implemented yet. Its discussion allows to develop alternative ways of reconstruction of old industrial buildings.
