AbstractAbout AuthorsReferences
The unique environment of St. Petersburg is formed not only by palaces, temples and rental houses. A significant share of the historic city is occupied by industrial zones. The industry of St. Petersburg is the same age as the Northern сapital, its historical factory-production areas play a significant environment-forming role. This development, which has a characteristic industrial colour, is concentrated, due to its production specifics, along the banks of the Neva river – the main waterway of the city, as well as on the banks of small rivers and canals. Red brick factory buildings with a characteristic silhouette of chimneys and water towers organically fit in the panorama of the Neva banks. The industrial environment is adjacent to residential areas, it is integrated into the fabric of the city and forms a single whole with it. The modern policy of protection of single objects does not satisfy more the concept of preservation of the integral historical environment in which the industrial architecture is integrated into the fabric of the city. It is possible to preserve the volumetric-spatial identity of historical industrial zones only when creating new principles for the protection of monuments based on comprehensive urban studies.
