Dissertation for master degree (theory) on architecturaland environmental aspects of renovation of industrial sites in the city center.
It consistsof an introduction, two chapters, conclusion (104 pages of text), list ofreferences (65 names) and exposure on 6 meter subframes.
Subject matter
The problem of industrial site’s renovation is morethan redevelopment and reuse of lost it’s meaning space. Ante omnia it is the problem of city space’s veritable contacts revitalization,regeneration and their reforming in issue to integrate and design urban tissue as a whole uniqueorganism system.
The space of brownfield zones has not the same space-time attributes as those of inhabited urban tissue. The purpose is to reconstruct urban meanings. We mightconstruct urban space that exists in the city spatio –temporal relations and todeclare the right density of new available activities, new livable senses ofenvironmental space.

We mightconstruct urban space that exists in the city spatio –temporal relations and todeclare the right density of new available activities, new livable senses ofenvironmental space.
In this case, the spread of the brownfield zones are characterized as a void in the body of theurban structure. This conception implies a search for a systematic approachthat can involve multidisciplinary tools.
System of industrial zones in the city as a territorial resource
Density characteristics

The following accentuated:
• Urban space must be understood as "live"
• The urban environment - life-giving and space organizing quality of the society. Recovery of losses in the urban structure -the restoration of social spatiality.

Environmental model of former industrial zones arevery special enclaves within the city.
Presentation of the model based on the nature ofspatial relationships among brownfield units:
• Model - spatial node
• Model of a fractal structure

Trends and directions of design of the former man-madeenvironments are based on the analysis of the array of examples of international experience .
The main directions of therenovation of the former brownfield zones in the city structure:
• Renovation as integration and modernization of theindustrial environmental interior.
• Socio-cultural intensification and socio-culturaladaptation.
• Sustainable design and revitalization.

• Sustainable design and revitalization.
As techniques of environmental social adaptation:
• Musefication
• Theatricality

Renovation as integration in the structure of the urban fabric:
Renovation as reorganization of the spatial structure and environmental modernization:
1. Maximum preservation.
A. Conservation
B. Historical rehabilitation
2. A minor upgrade.
3. The addition of new environmental constants (nuance, contrast).

Decorational themes of new enviromental image formation
Regeneration of space’s message (“Untitled recovery”)is one of the fields of renovation where brownfield’s environment is regard as a partof a “whole” unto the urban system. It is realized by methods of urbanacupuncture, blitzurbanizm and integral (new) urbanism.
The main problems of brownfield rehabilitation are:
· visualdiscomfort of architectural environment (problems of video ecology) ,
· depletionof contacts in public spaces,
· lossof sense of security protection - deterrent effect increasing of a destructiveenvironment,
· lossof memory of place, "the spirit of place", of integrity sense as a harmony of space.
· deteriorationof ecological environment.

· deteriorationof ecological environment.
On the basis of modern urban theories and methods of urban planning was developed a conceptual model of the space of the former industrial environment, the main components and characteristics of which are:
1) The basic element - "community" expresses the idea of walking a compact city (A. the former industrial area b. Urban environment adjoining to the former industrial formation),
2) The ratio of the "border - Centre"
3) The unity and integrity.
Qualities of the model:
a. Connections and porous borders (hybrid) (1.Pedestrian availability; 2.Developed frame of communicational channels)
b. Mixed usage and a variety
c. Quality of architecture and urban planning
d. Sustainable development.

Scenario adaptation on the base of spatial capabilities
The negative factors of the industrial environmental interior.
· lack of natural elements (environmentalinstability),
· anthropogeniccharacter of the space;
· dilapidatedcondition - alienation, isolation.

Identified the main principles of harmonization andhumanization of former industrial interior:
· reconstruction of environmentalunity,
· subordination of the main facilities and minor elements,
· theidentification of the dominant artistic device,
· thedynamic construction of the space.

The aspects of the factors affecting the process of space rehabilitation:
a) ecologicalaspects - environmental restoration, renovation of the territory and areasanation,
b) aspect ofurban development affecting the topology of the place,
c) aspects ofthe integration of new functions and new spatial features,
d) aspects ofsociety activation, revitalization of the unity of the community,
e) the formal aspects of the realization of design. Questions of aesthetics in materialization of the conceptualmodel.
