Demolition or adaptation?: post-industrial buildings in Ukraine
Three case studies are presented that assess the post-industrial development of industrial sites in Ukraine. The comparative analysis is based on (1) the geographical location on the territory of the country (Ivano-Frankivsk, Poltava, Kharkiv), (2) the functional transformation of the buildings (from the initial functions to new ones), and (3) the impact on the further development of the urban environment (in urban planning, economic, environmental and social security directions). These sites are considered as post-Soviet architectural heritage, which have been overlooked by the society and positioned as dissonant and controversial. The stereotypical perceptions concerning industrial sites are examined in order to rethink their status in the future. The research shows that the question of industrial heritage is manifold and cannot be solved without understanding the complexity and uniqueness of each individual case. Policy relevance Three different reuse strategies of the post-industrial sites in Ukraine are compared: (1) demolition and replacement with a new building, (2) renovation of the buildings for public use and cultural functions, and (3) adaptation for private needs. The lens of ‘dissonant heritage’ is used to understand the evolution of these sites and different processes that have shaped them. Negative connotations are typical Ukrainian responses to industrial heritage, as it can also be associated with post-socialist trauma. The case studies provide lessons for handling post-industrial architecture in the modern city. These lessons will be particularly relevant to the rebuilding of Ukraine and decisions surrounding its cultural heritage.
