Abstract

This article examines the relevance of architectural renovation, in particular the renovation of the industrial house-building first generation old residential buildings. The typical apartment projects with economical apartments developed in 1957-58 were very timely in solving the social problem of settlement, and were designed in two categories - the long and short lifetime. Existing physical deterioration makes it possible to consider their renovation question, since such a type of dwelling is in demand as affordable and cheap housing. This article deals with the features of planning decisions of the 1960s housing stock, emphasizing the elements that do not meet modern functional requirements. A program for renovation of residential buildings of the 60s is proposed. It allows to approach the modern standards of housing. Attention is paid to the algorithms of the apartment redevelopment: with the preservation of the number of apartments on the floor, or with the apartments consolidation. Possible constructive variants of superstructures from the mansards to several floors are considered. The renovation program was experimentally tested on the example of the Rostov-on-Don city, as a part of an academic design. Residential buildings of the 60s were chosen as objects. They are located in the urban areas that have lost their compositional structure due to new construction in order to simulate various options for superstructures.
