Abstract
The problem of reconstruction, renovation and revitalisation of unused or abandoned framed architectural objects is one of the cases of modern sustainable development. For several such objects, complex reconstruction projects were developed during the course of four International interdisciplinary student workshops “International Building Challenge” that include the choice of new functionality. Considered Objects for renovation include the equestrian yard of the Kuznetsovs' estate in Dolgoprudny (Moscow Area, Russia), pavilion 24 of the Trekhgornaya Manufactory in Moscow, Russia, the hanging room of the Zhivopisny bridge in Moscow, Russia as well as several water towers in the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation. All mentioned objects are having at least one uniting feature: an interpretation of frame house. For the first time in Russia, mentioned student’s projects reflected the real interaction of urban planners, developers, architects, designers and engineers. Projects consisted of several components: ecological (choice of materials, utilities, ecological zoning of the territory, green design standards), economic (best-use calculation), and social (needs of local residents). Empty or abandoned buildings on a frame construction basis showed functional flexibility and versatility.
Highlights
Human civilisation as we know it could be traced back from the dramatic change from nomadic to urban lifestyle
Historic deviations of the XX century created a unique situation in Central Russia which faced complex environmental challenge of renovation, reconstruction, revitalisation and successful reintegration of rare, empty frame buildings mainly constructed in the years of rapid industrialisation started at the second part of XIX century
The international interdisciplinary student workshop International Building Challenge was held in Moscow and Dolgoprudny from May 7th till May 13th, 2016
Summary
Human civilisation as we know it could be traced back from the dramatic change from nomadic to urban lifestyle. Since the development of the first cities in ancient Middle East, India and Mediterranean urban development never stopped and brought endless number of innovative solutions to satisfy constantly changing requirements of growing cities and its inhabitants. Historic deviations of the XX century created a unique situation in Central Russia which faced complex environmental challenge of renovation, reconstruction, revitalisation and successful reintegration of rare, empty frame buildings mainly constructed in the years of rapid industrialisation started at the second part of XIX century. The idea to reintegrate the objects of architecture heritage into a modernity brought our project in reality
