- Abstract
The formation of the architectural typology of a building is a secondary and long-term process in relation to the development of new technologies. A building or a structure does not have time to change according to a certain algorithm in step with technological progress. Even more questions arise if we speak about vast territories connected by a single technological process. In the practice of architectural and urban planning adaptation of industrial enterprises to a new function, the topic of modern use of the territories of former ports and harbors has its specifics. The features of their architecture, by definition, were dictated not only by the peculiarities of a particular city, but also by its relationship with other cities, since ports are both gates and nodes of a communicative framework, the basis of which is influenced by them. The general and local features in the architectural formation of the former port territories are revealed on the basis of identifying the functional, structural, compositional and artistic features of their current development. The topic is considered on the example of the Hanseatic Embankment in Bruggen, the old harbor in Genoa, the Docklands district in London, HafenCity in Hamburg, the Media Port in Dusseldorf, the Strelka in Nizhny Novgorod.
