Reconstruction of industrial building with nonstandard space-planning decisions

Abstract

The article is devoted to the selection of the optimal organizational and technological solution for the reconstruction of non-operated industrial buildings with different volume-planning structure. Lately there is a tendency to move most of the large industrial enterprises outside of the city in order to improve the environmental background and to release highly-sought investment land. Thus to date many of the industrial buildings are not operated for decades, which leads to an accelerated accumulation of physical deterioration of structures. Reconstruction with a change in the functional purpose of buildings can save on expensive demolition and new construction, and at the same time, it is possible to competently use investment-profitable large areas of factories and research institutes for multi-functional facilities. The article analyses the domestic and international experience of reconstruction of similar facilities with a change in functional purpose, identifies the main problems and risks arising from the implementation of such projects. Also, specific solutions are proposed for the reconstruction of an industrial building located at: St. Petersburg, the hallmark of which is an area of about 30 thousand square meters, nonstandard space-planning decisions, as well as location in the investment attractive part of the city. Conclusions were made about the necessity of creation a multifunctional environment for reconstructed buildings, based on the location of the facility, the economic efficiency of the reconstruction process and people's demand.
