scholarly journals ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN TYPOLOGY OF CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL PLACES

Author(s):  
A. V. Leizerova

The article proposes a typology of the historical places in a city for their identification and typification. Classification is based on the analysis of the structural techniques that determine the morphological features of historical places in the urban structure. The use of fuzzy logics seems to be an actual tool to achieve objectivity in the analysis of territories of different development. The hierarchy of the regulated order is determined by the following system of factors: sustainable urban framework - ordinary buildings – visual accents; building-blockbuster, visual gap. Taking into account the sustainability, the following cultural and historical places are identified: the museum cluster, cultural and historical island, cultural and historical island of a mixed type, island-type town-planning with historical buildings, modern cluster.

Subject of study: issue of redevelopment of industrial zones that have lost its purpose, which have a huge potential for renovation in the current conditions of development of a modern metropolis. Based on the example of a housing complex projected on the territory of the «Krasny Vyborzhets» factory the article describes approaches to the renovation of historical buildings located on the territory of the future residential com-plex, which cannot be demolished due to town planning regulations. Objectives: the formation of the hypotheses of redevelopment of cultural her-itage objects belonging to the residential complex being designed on the territory of the plant “Krasny Vyborzhets”. Materials and methods: mapping methods, SWOT analysis, world experience of redevelopment were used. Results: the main direction of redevelopment was chosen to create a cultural and business center “Rosenkrantz” with a modern open public space, which is based on the combination of three historical eras. Conclusions: this type of redevelopment will increase the security of this area, the attractiveness of the residential complex for future costumers of apartments and also will create a public space for leisure activities for local residents and their children.

The main purpose of this article is making a defi nition of irregular ensemble compositional and morphological features, as a specifi c architectural and town-planning phenomenon. Irregular architectural ensembles, unlike regular ones, are capable of more fl exible reaction on the dynamics of living conditions. An research on ensembles of this type can be useful for architectural design and urban planning. This study of the morphology of irregular architectural ensemble represents the phenomenon of group form - defi ned as low-ordered, incomplete association of volumes and spaces. Group form is opposed to the regular architectural ensemble as a compositional form. The phenomenon of irregular ensemble is treated as an intermediate between the two oppositions, and is defi ned in the article as compositional group form.

According to modern scientific literature, among all ovarian tumors, the borderline type occurs from 5 to 15%. This study analyzed the clinical and morphological features and histological variants of borderline types of ovarian tumors. The results of the study showed that among the borderline type of ovarian tumors, serous (46.8%) and mucinous types (42.7%) are more common, while other types, such as endometrioid, mesonephroid, Brenner, and mixed variants make up a low percentage. It was found that serous cystic tumors, in most cases bilateral, common cyst, cystadenoma, papillary adenoma histologically consists of two epithelia, that is, from the mesothelium and secretory cells, it is confirmed that with malignancy, elongated and basaloid cells are metaplastic. It was observed that mucinous borderline tumors were mainly found on one side, disabled adenofibroma, cystoadenomas were filled with mucous contents, monolayer epithelium was metoplasized with stratified epithelium. Among the rare borderline tumors, the endometrioid type, Brenner, mesonephriodal and mixed type were identified.

At the beginning of the 20th century, urban planning of the American cities was founded on the strong capitalist system and vast available land area. After a long period of planning, which was suited for the use of automobiles, nowadays the deficiencies both in the urban structure and social sphere are very obvious. Modern planning is striving to prescribe guidelines for urban design and thus create a continuity of cityscape and emphasize the pedestrian character of the area, particularly in central city zones. Town planning in the USA comprises local regulations which are suited to the needs of individual cities. Particularly important are the implications which certain town planning regulations have on the design of physical structures in the central city zone, which is the research goal of this paper.

This article reveals the historical and urban significance of the magistrate in the town of Nizhyn, and explaines the necessity of its reconstruction. There is a description of restoration reconstruction methods. This work also gives the examples of reproduction of historical buildings around the world and in Ukraine. The author's approach to reproduction and ways of using a rebuilt building had been proposed in this article.In 1625 Nizhyn granted the Magdeburg Law. It meant that the town became self-governing. The magistrate was responsible for the administration, household and law. The magistrate building was the center of the composition of the Cathedral Square and played a key role in the town-planning ensemble.The new brick building was erected instead of the wooden one by Andrii Kvasov which had been damaged by fire at the end of XVIII century. It was two-storey building in the style of classicism with trading rows beside. Unfortunately, the building was ruined due to the series of unpleasant occasions. But there are the architect Kartashevskiy’s drawings of the magistrate which he made during the building repair. So it is possible to do the restoration reconstruction which means the construction of a new structure in the same place and in the same forms as previously existing object.There are a lot of examples of reproduction of the historical buildings in the world such as an Old Town in Warsaw, Riga Town Hall in Latvia, the Saint Marco Cathedra’s bell tower in Venice, Saint Michael’s Cathedral in Kyiv etc.The only part of building which is preserved now is the underground floor filled in with soil. So the reconstructed building must be separated from the original part. In order to achieve this, basement should be strengthened and restored first. The new building must be placed on the platform with pile foundation apart from the basement. The reproduced building can be used with its original purpose. It is possible to move the part of the City Council there or the museum of the Magdeburg Law.Moreover, the reconstruction of the magistrate is important now because of the 400 year anniversary of the granting Nizhyn a Magdeburg Law in 2025.

This article studies Sir Patrick Geddes’ housing-based urban planning, pointing to a less-explored aspect of his groundbreaking work, while proposing ways to rethink the history and theory of modern urban planning towards a “housing builds cities” planning agenda. Focusing on Geddes’ modern urban planning for Tel Aviv in 1925 as housing-based urbanism, this article conceives urban structure and urban housing as one single problem rather than disconnected realms of planning. Based on new findings and revised study of available sources, we look into three planning processes by which policy makers, planners, and dwellers in Tel Aviv engaged in this housing-based urban vision: (1) The city as a housing problem; (2) the city as social utility for reform and reconstruction; and (3) housing-based urbanization as self-help. We show how Geddes’ modern urban plan for Tel Aviv employed the city’s pressing housing needs for urban workers to provoke planning by way of cooperative neighborhoods based on self-help dwellings. This approach was grounded on Geddes’ survey of Tel Aviv’s early premise on housing and extends beyond Geddes’ period to the brutalist housing estates of the 1950s and 1960s. The result is a new historiographic perspective on Tel Aviv’s UNESCO-declared modern urbanism vis-à-vis housing as the cell unit for urban living. Further, insights regarding Tel Aviv’s housing-based planning are relevant beyond this city to other examples of the town planning movement. It proposes rethinking modern urban planning before the consolidation of CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne) principles, namely when planned settlements were explicitly experimental and involved diverse processes, scales, methods, practices and agents. Housing—a key arena for the modernization of the discipline of architecture, as well as for the consolidation of the discipline of urban planning—is studied here as the intersection of sociopolitical, formal, aesthetic, and structural elements of the city.

The article examines the main ways of resolving permanent contradictions between the historical features of the center of a large city and the modern needs of society in the process of urban modernization, taking into account the particular complexity of the problem of reconstructing their central parts. The town-planning substance of the city center, which was formed over the centuries, has outstanding architectural and historical advantages, the need to preserve and multiply them has ceased to be the subject of discussion; today it is recognized as an act of special social, cultural, aesthetic and moral significance. At the same time, intensive urban growth, the evolution of society and its needs, involves the development and transformation of the whole system of cultural and public services of the city, the highest level of which is a city center, capable of It is the center of the city that has a concentrated imagination of the unusualness, much needed for city residents, too uniform in the processes of technological progress. With undoubted merits aimed at raising the civilizational level, these processes are inseparable from the threat of erasing individual traits and various spheres of life and human activity. This fact underlies emotionally – an aesthetic phenomenon, as today is the pronounced gravitation of the inhabitants of anonymous areas of cities to the uniqueness of historical urban environment in one way or another stored in the historical centers of large urban integrating various parts of the urban structure into a holistic urban formations. The connection of times in the process of city development should ensure the continuity of the path from historical experience to the realization of existing needs and from it to the notions of the future, which gives grounds for determining promising goals already in the present reality. Ensuring the continuity of the path of historical development of the city while preserving the integrity and individuality of its image requires the development of characteristic methods of its formation that simultaneously meet modern requirements. The relationship between the categories of traditions and innovation determines continuity as the main condition for the progressive movement in the development of cultural values, and is primarily in architecture and town-building art, forming the environment of the existence of a number of generations and epochs, thereby imparting a concrete existential expression to the problem of continuity. The problems of «old and new» in the structure of the central parts of historical cities require a comprehensive solution of the main tasks: analysis of the interdependence of the functional and planning categories of the urban center structure and the characteristic manifestations of functional planning solutions of different time periods; to reveal the basic principles of co-position-spatial interaction of the elements of the city center system on the basis of factors affecting the character of the spatial organization of the microstructures of the center in the process of their historical development; definitions of the main directions of the volumetric-plastic harmonization of the existing and new development on the basis of an analysis of the methods of architectonic revalorization and modern interpretation of the characteristic features of the historical architectural substance in accordance with the general informative background of the environment.

During the last century of Assyria's existence the urban landscape was characterised by a bipolar structure. The old capital Ashur was still the religious, ceremonial and cultural centre, while Nineveh was the seat of royal power (Maul 1997). Both cities were not only the oldest urban entities of the Assyrian heartland, flourishing at least from the third or even fourth millennium BC onwards; they both also represented two different regions within Assyria with very specific geomorphologic environments and distinctive socio-ecological conditions. While the Ashur region is situated at the southernmost edge of the dry farming belt, the Nineveh area is one of the most fertile regions in northern Mesopotamia (Fig. 1).The political fates of the two cities were unconnected for a long time. Ashur became an important trading centre and an independent kingdom at the beginning of the second millennium, whereas for a long time Nineveh stood in the shadow of more powerful neighbours. But in the seventh century it was Nineveh that became the capital of Assyria and the outstanding urban structure of the whole Near East. The refounding and enlargement of the city by Sennacherib was by far the most ambitious town-building programme ever realised in Assyria. Furthermore, it marked the end of a long process of moving the political centre of the country from the Ashur region northwards to the Nineveh region, which coincided with the rise of Assyria from a small kingdom to a world empire. During this development there were several (other) temporary capitals, all of them new foundations like Kār-Tukultī-Ninurta, Kalhu and Dūr-Šarrukēn.
