Architectural and ecological integration of postindustrial landscapes revitalization into socially oriented space of the embankment

Abstract

Abstract.The architectural and ecological model of civil engineering of socially oriented spaces of coastal landscape aimed at providing comfortable vital environment, development of the greatest possible variety of city activities, solution of environmental and social problems of the city, and development of the embankment as a self-valuable fragment of wellarranged natural landscape is substantiated. The research objective is the development of methodical bases for the process of architectural revitalization of postindustrial coastal landscape. The researchers utilize the methods of system analysis, reviewing of design practice, analysis of available scientific databases as well as referential and normative resources. The methods of modeling and experimental projecting were also used in the study. Architectural proposals on integration of the revitalized postindustrial coastal areas into socially oriented area of the Volgograd embankment are presented. The analysis of the experience in building and recovery of postindustrial landscapes of river basins is preformed to substantiate the proposed architectural and ecological principles of revitalization, "tree of properties" with the definition of environment quality indicator, the sequence of stages in planning of socially oriented area of the city embankment, and experimental project on integration of the studied coastal area into the vital space of the city of Volgograd.

Urbanized Environment Quality Assessment Methodology

“…The authors have studied the existing guidelines [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20] and propose an approach to urban environment quality assessment based on rating the following aspects: natural environment, architecture, urban planning, technogenic impact, and infrastructure [21,22,23,24]. Each of the aspects has a set of metrics, a total of 18, see Table 1.…”
