ABANDONED OBJECTS. FROM UTOPIA TO REALITY: VIABILITY CRITERIA

Abstract

The article discusses the change in the architectural typology of abandoned objects over time. The influence of time on their town-planning position and typological components - function, design and form are analyzed. Abandoned object - a structure created by man, but not in use today. They went their way “ from reality to utopia.” An attempt is made to figure out why this happened and whether the return path is possible - “ from utopia to reality”. In conclusion, the concepts of general and environmental criteria for assessing the viability of abandoned objects are introduced, and on their basis the concept of the architectural and typological potential of a structure is formulated.
