Territory and objects of the plant named after M.V. Frunze in the context of urban environment development in Penza

Abstract

The objects located on the territory of the city-forming enterprise Frunze Plant (ZIF), built in the pre-revolutionary period of 1914-1916, are considered. These objects are of interest for the preservation and continuity of the historical architectural environment in the conditions of modern development. Based on field surveys and archival materials, the water tower of the engineer P.L. Pasternak system and a fragment of a production shop are considered as one of the first examples of the use of monolithic reinforced concrete in Russia and in order to preserve identity in the context of urban development.
