WAYS OF REVITALIZATION WITH THE RESTORATION OF HISTORICAL INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES IN LARGE CITIES. THE EXPERIENCE OF UKRAINE AND POLAND

The theme of the revitalization of historical industrial areas in the central districts of large cities is international, taking into consideration the growing number of such examples in different countries. The main difficulty arises when an industrial object is an architectural monument and its authentic look should be preserved. Today, it is a common practice - the conversion of monuments of industrial architecture to the artistic territory of a new type - art clusters. The concept of an art cluster envisages that all the elements with an art orientation are interconnected, and the total effect of their combined action is several times higher than the outcome of single components. The first specific feature of an art cluster as a particular art unit, that it is not an accidental group of holders, who conduct particular kinds of artistic activities; it is the availability of tenants or owners who work for the common result, and their kinds of activities are correlated On the example of the Mystetskyi Arsenal in Kyiv - a historical fortress, subsequently redesigned as a defence plant, and the Na Woli Gas Plant in Warsaw, projects for the revitalization of industrial architecture monuments for multifunctional complexes are described.
