THE INDUSTRIAL IDENTITY OF EKATERINBURG: THE IMAGE OF THE CITY IN THE ARCHITECTURE OF HISTORICALLY FORMED INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXES

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (74) June, 2021

The article presents an argument for the importance of studying the industrial identity of Ekaterinburg, which implies the need to reveal the city’s industrial framework. A methodology has been developed to enable the creation of a model of this framework. The model includes three stages, in accordance with which the results of the study are presented. The main historical industrial complexes of Ekaterinburg have been identified and studied: Ekaterinburg’s Iron-Making Mill (“History Park”), Verkh-Isetsky Mill, and Uralmash Mill. A survey/quiz was carried out among Ekaterinburg residents to find out their attitude to the industrial heritage under study. The spatial-semantic system of interactions between the historically formed industrial complexes of Ekaterinburg as the city’s industrial framework has been determined and substantiated. Prospects for further development of the framework are outlined with the aim of integrating all existing historical industrial sites and facilities of Ekaterinburg and creating new sightseeing routes for getting acquainted with the industrial history of the city.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY OF YEKATERINBURG

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (68) December, 2019

The article is devoted to establishing the architectural and artistic identity of Yekaterinburg within the framework of the author's conceptual research model under seven headings of urban environment architecture and planning analysis. These are arranged in a hierarchical system of layers representing the structural frame, oronymics, non-administrative zoning, toponymics, city landmarks, art and esthetics, and sociocultural aspects. The maps reflecting the location of the components characterizing the identity of Yekaterinburg’s urban environment are superposed to form a conceptual model of the city’s architectural and artistic identity. The model presents the frame of the city’s specific characteristics and “points of growth” of its imagery.
