The principles of identity in the renovation of industrial buildings in historical cities of Russia

Abstract

The research was conducted in order to develop the principles of renovation of industrial buildings in historical cities of Russia, namely: Kazan, Samara, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod. These cities were selected based on their geographical location - all of them are located in the Volga region. Existing plants and factories, abandoned industrial enterprises were studied and systematized. Historical analysis was conducted to identify the specifics of industrial formations, as well as architectural and artistic analysis to study the architectural and planning composition of industrial formations in cities. Based on the analysis, the principles of identity of industrial buildings in Volga cities were identified. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of applying the research results in modern architectural practice, in particular in the renovation of industrial buildings in historical cities of Russia. This work can become the basis for further research, identifying valuable areas of development of industrial formations.
