A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Transformation of abandoned buildings and territories by sustainably integrating them into the infrastructural systems of the city / ; Apleistų pastatų ir teritorijų transformacija tvariai integruojant juos į miesto infrastruktūrines sistemas.
This paper aims to tackle the issue of abandonment in general. Later on aims to investigate the deeper issues, possibilities and emergent problems that has been rising during the research. For the analysis and application of the research data, an abandoned hotel in Kaunas/Lithuania was chosen as a case study project area. Paper consists of three main chapters, first chapter aims to dig deeper into the history of architecture, sociology and construction technologies and extracts the good examples in order to critique them properly. This extraction creates a product of theoretical knowledge and expertise, hence by using this extracted conclusion second chapter aims to have a better look at the site, the city, the context of the case study area to reflect the theoretical conclusions by testing them in real life scenarios. Britanika, an abandoned “ghost” of the city of Kaunas since the 70`s, has had a inconclusive journey within the “new town” part of the city. New town consists of many modern buildings with poor taste as well as some buildings from the interwar era, also a neo Byzantium military church which was made during the Russian rule of the city. Even though it represents a painful time in history, currently it keeps its` place in the skyline as a landmark. Britanika however, still remains abandoned. In this chapter, several social surveys and spatial analyses were made to conclude three requirements to affect the next chapter which is the actual design project, first is the form, new form and transformation strategy should be decided by using environmental data, this includes sunlight, wind, liquid exposure and visibility/view. Second important requirement is the program of the building, in order to decide, several statistical papers such as immigration, tourism were analysed, moreover several surveys were made in Lithuania. Third and last important requirement is the building technologies with urban integration. As a conclusion, third part brings out the design ideas, an experimental journey towards the ...
