Renovation of the 63–64 quarters in the historical center of Irkutsk

Abstract

The article considers town-planning motivations that come into collision on the degrading territory of the Central Heating and Power Plant 2 in Irkutsk. The multifunctional center is designed to link the historical center built up at different times and the monument of industrial architecture. The proposed design solutions show that the motives of preservation of the historic-cultural heritage do not contradict the investment attractiveness of the project and the increasing urbanization.
