RENOVATION OF INDUSTRIAL AREA INTO RECREATIONAL ZONE ON THE EXAMPLE OF DOMINO PARK IN NEW YORK

Over 50% of the global population currently resides in urban areas, and that proportion continues to grow rapidly. The urbanization of human society has important implications for health and well-being. On one hand, dense urban populations may have more access to health care and amenities that promote healthy lifestyles. On the other hand, urban environments cultivate a variety of environmental and social stressors that make them more susceptible to health problems. Understanding, quantifying, and managing the variables that influence all aspects of human welfare has become a major challenge in the movement to build sustainable, healthy cities.

Studies of specific neighborhoods and cities imply that proximity to and use of urban green space is positively associated with the physical activity levels and cardiovascular health of urban residents. For example, individuals living in greener urban areas display more positive indicators of mental health than those who live in less green settings, including fewer symptoms of depression, and lower levels of self-reported and biologically-measured stress. Greener areas are also associated with cognitive development and learning outcomes. Moreover, green spaces may facilitate social connections, neighborhood satisfaction and community attachment in many urban settings. All of these findings suggest that cities with higher concentrations of parks and other green spaces provide greater opportunities for happiness than their park-barren counterparts.

It is quite obviously that the green space is the solution of this problem but there is no free territory for building new parks in densely built-up cities. I offer you to consider one of possible ways to solve this problem. In this way I set the following aims:

•To find a solution to the lack of free territory for building new parks in densely built-up cities

•To perform the world experience of the construction of new park zone on the example of Domino Park in New York

Domino Park is built on the grounds of the former Domino Sugar Refinery, a site of incredible significance to the growth and development of Williamsburg and the entire Brooklyn waterfront. Dating back to 1856, the Domino Sugar Refinery was once the largest and most productive sugar refinery in the world. At its peak of productivity, it refined 4 million pounds of sugar daily. This site was the “jewel in the crown” of the Domino Sugar Empire that at one point produced up to 98% of the sugar consumed in the United States.

As a result of economic, political and global changes, industrial activity in Brooklyn began to drop off dramatically beginning in the 1950s. Closing its doors in 2004, the Domino Sugar Refinery was the last major active industrial operation on Brooklyn’s once bustling East River waterfront. Complex sat unused for years, with many intrepid urban explorers finding their way inside to document the crumbling buildings. But after developer Two Tree purchased the site in 2012—which came after previous, much-derided plans for the complex were proposed and aborted—they brought on SHoP to rework a master plan for the site. That’s still in effect to this day, with the public park as one piece of the larger puzzle.

Domino Park includes over 30 large-scale, salvaged artifacts — components of the inner workings of sugar refining, an industry that dominated the Brooklyn waterfront for over a century. The industrial past has been made the absolute centerpiece of the layout. Scattered throughout the park are a wide array of artifacts taken from the Domino Sugar Refinery, which operated here until 2004, including syrup tanks, mooring bollards, and screw conveyors. An elevated catwalk has even been affixed to the ruins of the old Raw Sugar Warehouse, looking out over a playground designed to resemble the demolished refinery. Park’s equipment consist of the following components:

•The original mooring bollards secured docked ships bringing raw sugar cane and other supplies to the Domino Sugar Refinery throughout its long history.

•The screw conveyors, bucket conveyors, and hoist bridge all played a role in moving crystallized sugar in various forms through different parts of the Refinery, transforming it from raw to refined.

•The Fog Bridge is one of the park’s two signature water features, providing visitors with a unique way to experience the East River and to view the Syrup Tanks. Spanning a collection of historic timber piles, one look underneath the bridge reveals that most of Domino Park is actually situated over water, on a pier once supported by nearly 1,200 of these wood piles. A set of misters surrounding the bridge emit a gentle cloud of fog that envelop passersby in the shoreline’s wind patterns, and create a dramatic entryway to the massive

Syrup Tanks. This interactive fog experience is lit up at night, animating the plumes of mist throughout the evening.

•The Syrup Tanks – dating back to the 1950s – are four of the fourteen, large-scale tanks that were used to collect high volumes of liquid

491

sweetener generated in sugar processing. These tanks were originally located on the south west corner of the Refinery building.

•The two, 80-foot tall Gantry Cranes here at the north of the park were used to unload bulk sugarcane from freight ships for storage at the Raw Sugar Warehouse. The installation of these two Gantry Cranes in 1966, which reduced the need for manual labor, marked a move by the Refinery to bolster efficiency in a marketplace crowded by increasing competition from corn and beet-based sweeteners, artificial sweeteners and foreign refineries.

•Cantilevered off of 21 columns preserved from the Domino factory’s original Raw Sugar Warehouse, the walkway allows visitors to enjoy the view from above, with an especially beautiful perspective of the river, the skyline and the park itself. ADA access to the walkway is provided by ramp near the Gantry Cranes. It is planned to conduct Hiking tours there. Guides will tell tourists about the sugar trade in New York.

•The Landmark Refinery. The large brick building with its distinctive smoke stack adjacent to the center of Domino Park actually consists of three interconnected buildings that make up the Refinery Building: The Filter House, The Pan House, The Finishing House.

At the center of the park is a playground, designed by Mark

Reigelman, that’s a sugar refinery in miniature — kids can climb up through a silo or stand inside a cabin, and there are plenty of fun elements like slides and climbing tunnels. Other components of the quarter-mile park include a waterfront esplanade, a dog run, and a taco shack run by Danny Meyer, with plenty of open seating.

The artifacts in the park are not simply the art objects, they have their own functions.

In this way I came to the following conclusions:

•Use the territory of abandoned industrial areas can solve the problem of the lack of free territory for building new parks in densely built-up cities

•Preservation of infrastructural objects, constructions, buildings and facilities makes park more interesting and provide the comfort of its visitors

In conclusion I’d like to add that Russia actively uses the experience of renovation of industrial zones like New York do. Its positive example – new park Zaryadye in Moscow. Nizhny Novgorod also tried to use the experience when a new park was being built on the Strelka on the grounds of the River port. But it was not successful and the project needs to be continued.

SELF-HEALING CONCRETE

Building repairs and potholes on the roads cost billions every year - and that's not to mention the amount of road works created by ongoing maintenance. The paper is devoted to one of possible solutions to this problem. The object of our exploration is self-healing concrete technology.

A lot of scientists have tried to find solutions to the problem of concrete breakdown. Microbiologists from the Netherlands developed self-healing concrete that mends cracks using bacteria. The main aim of this work is to study its properties and capabilities.

In fact, this technology was already invented very long ago by the ancient Romans. They used self-healing concrete for the construction of ancient Roman aqueducts and other structures that have stood for thousands of years. But the recipe for manufacturing such concrete was lost, and no one have ever managed to restore it. The Romans were lucky that they had a suitable mineral example of how this concrete works. They watched the volcanic ash falling into the sea and becoming a pumice stone. This was the unusual chemistry of the two components.

Now there are special bacteria that mend cracks. When water penetrates into the crack it makes ordinary concrete brittle. However, using a type of bacteria that is typically found near active volcanoes, researchers mix them into the concrete along with calcium lactate. When cracks in the concrete appear, and water enters them, the water 'awakens' the bacteria. The bacteria 'eat' the calcium lactate and secrete limestone which closes the cracks.

This process takes about three weeks and there is no limit to the length of the crack the material can fix. However, the width of the crack has to be 0.8mm wide or thinner in order for the process to work effectively. It also works on existing buildings and roads due to special liquid containing the bacteria that can be sprayed onto cracks.

Hendrik Marius Jonkers the inventor from Delft University of Technology said this is perfect for structures that are difficult to maintain, like underground buildings, motorways or oil rigs. The bacteria are specially adapted to extremely alkaline environments and can survive dormant inside the concrete for years. The bacteria are also heat and cold resistant. Hendrik Jonkers said they are well suited to the material because they form spore and survive for a long time.

The team that came up with the idea of creating self-healing concrete has been nominated for a European Inventor Award.

A long list of data allows to make a conclusion that self-healing concrete is a real solution that can effectively combat the phenomenon of "concrete cancer" that occurs when a large amount of moisture penetrates the pores of hardened concrete. Ongoing research of this material, which is being carried out in many countries, helps to improve this technology to the point that it can become available for a large number of construction spheres, as well as for individual use.

SOME PECULIARITIES OF ESTABLISHING BRAND IDENTITY FOR

THE PET SHOP «KOT BEGEMOT»

The given paper is devoted to the problem of corporate identity development. The paper abounds in illustrative materials and the examples presented here is an exclusive development of the authors.

494

The work relevance is defined by the necessity to search a unique corporate identity and a series of packages for the pet food, which would distinguish it from competitors. Accordingly, the subject of the study is the features of the corporate design of the company. The aim of the work is to create an original and modern identity that the company creates to portray the right image of itself to the consumers. The tasks include the development of the collection of brand elements. The research methods are the search of analogues, the analysis of brand identity of the competitors and defining the target audience [3].

We shall consider in detail design features of the collection brand elements on the example of the project pet shop «Kot Begemot».

Firstly, the authors represent a logo and print design of the brand elements. While designing the logo the authors have chosen a non-strict, fairytale font that forms the muzzle of a cat in combination with the spot. It is also important to show that monochrome colors look graphic and minimalistic and, besides, these colors are convenient for printing [2]. It is especially noteworthy that the pattern consists of a mouse, a ball, some bones and birds that were drawn with the help of uneven lines which have been used in the logo too. An envelope, a letterhead, a desk diary, a flyer and a business card were designed with the use of these elements (Pic.1).

Fig.2. Promotion Material Design

The promotion materials include a T-shirt, a cap, a keychain, a USB flash drive, a mug, a pen and a pencil, a bowl for animals and a background image (Pic.2).

It’s a well-known fact that promotion printing on car is widely used [1]. So, the authors developed the outer design of the delivery ven «Kot Begemot», that became part of the pet shop advertising campaign (Pic.3).

Pic. 3. Delivery Ven Design

Speaking about designed series of animal feed packages: the authors note that there are two types of packaging for cat food, dog food and parrot food. The main idea was to make a packaging more unique and convenient. For example, packaging for parrot food can be hung in a cage as a bird-feeder. Cat food packaging has a retractable part where one can pour food from the package (fig.4). It makes possible to feed the animal on the wing without a bowl.

496

Moreover, the series of stickers and labels were developed to maintain the graphic style of the brand.

Pic.4. Brand Packaging Design

Finally, it can be summed up by saying that the final goal has been accomplished. The authors have created a brand identity of the pet shop "Kot Begemot" which exactly reflects the right perception of the company for the consumers.

SOVIET ARCHITECTURE 30-50-IES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY (IN THE CONTEXT OF MOSCOW AND NIZHNY NOVGOROD)

The preand post-war architecture in the Soviet Union is one of the most interesting period in the world architecture. Consequently, my basic concern is

497

to view the Soviet architecture of the 1930s and 1950s, to determine its origins, to distinguish its ways and differences. Immediacy of the problem of the subject is connected with historical and cultural legacy. Any losses of buildings and constructions of the 1930s and 1950s, is irreplaceable and irreversible, and lead to poverty impoverishment, ruptures of historical memory, impoverishment of society.

In 1935-1941 great work on a renovation of the cite was held in Moscow. The most shining example of architecture of this period is the house on Mokhovskaya Street. During the construction of the project I. Zholtovsky applied the architectural theme of a hierarchy of a larger order, developed by Andrea Palladio.

The industrial and public building was as a special part in architecture. The theater of the Soviet Army is one of the most characteristic monuments of Stalinist architecture. The building stellular in plan is surrounded by a unique peripter. The canonical scheme of the theater was squeezed in this "Procrustean bed" with great ingenuity (Pictures 1-2).

In Nizhny Novgorod, as all over Russia, the architects oriented on Stalinist architecture and the neoclassic. So, the building Г-shaped form "Apartment of Stakhanovites" meets new requirements. On the last two-storey of the eastern and southern facade there is a pilastrade, which in the crowning part have a similarity of ionic capitals. Also a three-column portico of columns of the Ionic order is located on the corner of the last two floors.

We can see attempts to bring individuality into the facades decision on the «Railwayman's house» by Silvanov. The first and second floors are singularized by the eight-columned portico from the Upper Volga embankment. On the main facade there is the risalit, rising from the ground base to the cornice line above the fifth floor (Pictures 3-4).

In June, 1941 constructive work of the Soviet people was interrupted with treacherous attack of Hitlerite Germany. The Soviet people even during the most difficult periods of war didn't doubt a victory. However, for the last few years the Soviet architects had got used that ideological architecture is more important utilitarian. When a question about restoration of the destroyed cities came on, it was meant as design of high-rise buildings, as a victory symbol in the Great Patriotic War.
