Culture-led Regeneration of Industrial Heritage Sites in Modern Cities

The basic conceptual characteristics of ‘regeneration’ are defined in this article, which demonstrates that the declaration of the authors of the project for the regeneration of industrial heritage sites can lead to the use of various methods and techniques, as well as to different results. Clarifying the question of what the meaning of the term culture-led regeneration in different countries is and analyzing specific projects with a culture-led concept, authors show the interdependence of the interpretation of culture and the scope of actions for updating the historical and architectural industrial heritage. It is defined that the term culture-led regeneration arises in specific sociocultural and theoretical circumstances of the rapid degradation of industrial heritage at the time of transition of the world’s economies to other forms and structures. It marks a paradigm shift in the attitude of specialists towards industrial heritage. From conservation and museification in increasingly alienating industrial zones, they move on to the actualization of industrial architecture objects by strengthening their ties with all urban processes, primarily sociocultural ones. The most prominent role in such an activity is played by institutional or non-institutional understanding of culture by the authors of the project, experts, administrations, and the community. To clarify the dependence of the culture interpretation and the goals of the regeneration projects, an analysis was made of the culture-led aspects of the rehabilitation of the industrial area of Emscher Park (Germany), the creation of an industrial park on the site of the former industrial zone in Bolzano, the decision to turn the post office building in Buenos Aires into a classical music center. The experience of these projects can be taken into account by the initiators of similar projects in Russia.

Neuro-accessible educational environment: Adapting to the needs of people with disabilities

Introduction. Currently, researchers and practitioners are increasingly focusing on creating conditions for the socialization and integration of people with disabilities. A large number of people, and above all, children with mental, emotional, and other disorders, need to organize an environment designed for inclusive interaction. Materials and research methods. The work used the method of analysis of scientific approaches to designing the environment. The main tools used were scientific data obtained by psychologists, architects, designers of the XX - XXI centuries, studying the optimal parameters of objects and spaces that affect the well-being and mental state of people of various categories. Processing of the data was carried out as part of a humanitarian approach; the method of content analysis was used. The results of the study. The work summarizes and systematizes the results of humanitarian studies for their subsequent, conceptual, and responsible use in technological projects to create a neuro-accessible educational environment, taking into account the needs of people with disabilities. The concept of a "neural accessible medium" is introduced, i.e., environment adapted for finding and activity of people with various mental disorders. Discussion. The concept of the educational environment includes not only the relationship of a child with disabilities with other people but, first of all, the spatial and material structures that organize the educational process. The search for ideas and technologies should be based on proposals for the maximum correspondence not only of the external shell but also of the structure of subject forms to the physical structure of a person as a natural being; about the integrity of the environment; about the need for "following nature". Creating forms should include taking into account the needs of all users. Besides, designing a neural-accessible environment should use virtual and augmented reality. Conclusion. The need for a neurally accessible educational environment, taking into account the needs of people with disabilities, the complexity of its design requires the use of an interdisciplinary approach and the use of data from different disciplines and projects that currently exist autonomously from each other. In general, the described ideas can be useful not only in the educational environment but also in the working and urban environment. © 2019 LLC Ecological Help. All rights reserved

Opportunities for Involvement in Socio-Cultural Practices Developing an Inclusive Culture

Статья поступила в редакцию 06.07.2023 г.Представлены и проанализированы современные социокультурные практики, использующие механизмы вовлечения и способствующие развитию инклюзивной культуры участников. Проведен культурологический анализ понятия «вовлечение», показано его ценностно-коммуникативное наполнение, связь вовлечения с «культурой участия», предполагающей, согласно определению, совместную добровольную деятельность представителей различных возрастных, социальных или профессиональных групп, направленную на социально значимые цели. Выведены ценностно-смысловые критерии вовлечения в инклюзивные социо культурные практики и с их помощью проанализированы ход и результаты организованных автором инклюзивной выставки «Конструируем вместе» (2017) и проекта «Школа инклюзивного дизайна» (2021).The article presents and analyzes socio-cultural practices that use the mechanisms of involvement and contribute to the development of an inclusive culture of participants. A culturological analysis of the concept of “involvement” was carried out, its value-communicative content was shown, the connection of involvement with the “culture of participation”, which, according to the definition, implies joint voluntary activities of representatives of various age, social or professional groups aimed at socially significant goals. The value-semantic criteria for involvement in inclusive socio-cultural practices are derived and with their help the course and results of the inclusive exhibition “Designing Together” held by the author in 2017, and the project “School of Inclusive Design” (2021) are analyzed

Ways to Intencification of the Sustainability of Architectural Form in the 2010s

10995/27938В качестве значимых, но во многом еще не оцененных приемов устойчивого архитектурного формообразования показаны сокрытие и прозрачность архитектурных объектов, притом, не только в городской среде. В использовании этих приемов равную роль играют технологии и эстетическое чувство архитектора. Представлен и проанализирован опыт западноевропейской архитектуры этого направления 2010-х гг.The concealment and transparency of architectural objects, moreover, not only in the urban environment, are shown as significant, but in many ways not yet appreciated, methods of sustainable architectural shaping. In the use of these techniques, technology and the aesthetic sense of the architect play an equal role. The experience of Western European architecture in this direction of the 2010s is presented and analyzed
