Abstract
The thesis is a contribution to the study of problems of industrial
brownfields and models of their redevelopment in terms of the need for
recycling of the existing built environment as an important factor in the
context of sustainable development. The study focuses on the question
of determining new uses of existing industrial facilities and complexes
and the way in which it determines the success of the reconstruction
process. Having regard to the redefinition of the concepts of urban
development, this study points to the necessity of exploring the renewal
of industrial brownfields as an important factor in contemporary
planning and construction of cities and creating a visual identity of the
built environment. Three models of transformation determined by a
new purpose have been defined - models "habitat", "hub" and "forum"
for which a system of evaluation of attributes of industrial structures
has been determined. Using the AHP method, a precise analytical
apparatus is defined by which the attributes of industrial brownfields
are considered at the level of an industrial building, evaluated so that
all structures within industrial brownfields can be identified based on
the presented typology and classification. The research of the
transformation process, defining new uses, еvaluation of existing
industrial structures, characteristics and qualities that new purpose
determines the existing space, is a contribution to a deeper
understanding of architectural and urban aspects of this topic
