Models of ecological renovation of industrial buildings for the creation of shopping, entertainment or recreational complexes

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (88) December, 2024

The article examines the key features of the functional planning and spatial architectural treatment of the typological group of public buildings and structures during renovation of industrial buildings in coastal areas in order to create promising models of two different types of multifunctional spaces: a shopping and entertainment complex, and a public park.
Both approaches exploit the structural and spatial advantages of these buildings and modern architectural-ecological techniques, such as: adaptive reuse, structural reinforcement, and integration of natural light and environmentally friendly materials. The key differences lie in their focus: shopping and entertainment centers emphasize commercial activities and leisure through a dynamic shopping environment, while public parks give preference to green areas and outdoor recreation, integrating extensive landscape design and environmental sustainability methods into the project.
Overall, these renovation models not only improve the urban environment, but also contribute to the well-being of the population and restoration of the environment in the area.

Digital methods in architectural and environmental renovation of buildings for a public function

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (85) March, 2024

This article explores advanced digital methods for comprehensive renovation of industrial buildings into public spaces. Four different approaches are described in detail:
1. Digital mapping and modeling:
allows accurate spatial analysis to be performed for optimizing design solutions before physical renovation; combines virtual and augmented reality to create an immersive experience.
2. Integration of augmented and virtual reality:
facilitates joint decision-making by visualizing proposed projects and thus increasing public engagement. Historical and cultural narratives are overlapped, strengthening the connection between the past and the present.
3. Smart building systems:
include IoT devices and sensors to optimize energy efficiency, comfort, and overall functionality; solve unique challenges related to the conversion of industrial buildings.
4. Digital twin technology:
creates a dynamic virtual copy for continuous real-time monitoring; uses machine learning for predictive analysis, increasing operational efficiency and sustainability.
The convergence of technologies and architectural innovations presents a transformative force in the context of architectural and environmental renovation of industrial buildings, representing a change of the paradigm in the renovation of industrial facilities for re-use as a public function.
