Preservation of the structure of the building in the process of renovation of industrial architecture

Abstract

The renovation of industrial buildings has become relevant recently with increasing interest in former industrial areas that need to rethink their importance in the city without losing their identity. Based on the previous scientific works of the authors, we reveal one of the principles of preserving identity in the renovation of industrial buildings – the principle of preserving the structural identity of the building. In this scientific study, we analyze the existing experience of preserving structures during renovation and consider this principle in practice, namely, the renovation of the mill building erected in 1912 in the urban-type settlement of Apastovo, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of applying the results of the study in modern architectural practice, in particular in the reconstruction of industrial buildings in historical cities of Russia. This work can become the basis for further research, identifying valuable areas for the development of industrial formations.
