SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND PRACTICE DESIGNING URBAN COMPLEXES ON THE EXAMPLE OF KYIV

Abstract

The article examines the interaction of architectural research and design practice regarding the reconstruction of nodal public complexes of large cities. Examining the urban transformations of modern Ukrainian cities on the example of Kyiv allows the author to state the low effectiveness of our scientific recommendations. However, the coverage of such studies can have both scientific and practical results as recommendations for urban planning managers and designers. Some directions of the transformation of the urban environment at the turn of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century in Ukraine are highlighted using the example of the city of Kyiv. Prospective trends of possible directions of transformation of the typology of public centers and residential complexes are formulated. The trends of reconstruction and development of the architectural and town-planning structure are considered. The hierarchy of residential and public centers of large cities as the main structural nodes of the city in unity with the transport and pedestrian infrastructure is presented. Conclusions are made on possible directions of transformation of existing buildings with the formation of new types of public centers. A retrospective examination of competition practice in Kyiv at the end of the 20th century allows the author to systematize his many years of scientific research and design practice in the part of forming the architecture of public centers. The scientific results of the research were implemented in a number of experimental and competitive projects of the author of public centers in Kyiv. The use of a systemic approach allows for the development of public centers regarding the placement and organization of the internal structure of such complexes.
