Notions of public and private in residential spaces Application portfolio by Bondarenko Valentyna
Background The modern entity represents and arrange people’s lifestyles in a high degree and working on this scale can provide a stable and healthy scenery for individuals to develop. Moreover, the majority of the exististing building in Ukrainian cities is housing. Thus it’s vital to look into this sector. The problematic initiates modernistic housing worldwide, where the function prevailed over social factor. Built in 1965-1975 they were trying to resolve the urgent nessecity of living square for people working on industrial manufacture. Most of their apartment planning were tried to estimate contemporary standarts of housing. Nonetheless, aſter 40-ty years all those constructions need renovation. Even if the process founded on principles of sanitation, functionality and limiting energy, the social context still not estimated. So the question of human as the priority of the hierarchical structure is not resolved. No doubts, it is necessary to implement all qualities of sustainable principles of renovation, but it is equally essential to focus on people’s needs and the methods which are usefull tool to satisfy their envisions of residential life. That’s why it is important to regulate the relation between public and private in residential context. Thus, it is in our priority to figure out the designing tools for qualitive renovation current cities in the sence of approaching them to changes.
The cure for stress In the central part of Kyiv many areas no longer fulďŹ ll their function and do not work as a full-edged public spaces turned into a stressful spaces that do not want to spend time because of discomfort. The analysis highlighted speciďŹ c environmental stimuli that led to violations of city living organism. To start the long process of healing and rehabilitation proposed elimination of symptoms and the successive transformation processes.? The main character of the urban environment are the people. Came people, their interests and needs should be the starting point for the formation of all urban planning decisions. That is why there is need to create a space for dialogue. It follows position to combat disease by point injection. Proposed Improvements implemented quickly without requiring a lot of resources to implement, animating the space and creating a platform for communication and interaction. Such simple temporary measures activated, the main potential of the city - its active and conscious residents that will be credible basis for permanent positive change in the city.

Harmonisation of residential districts Into the focus was taken 2 commons for Ukrainian urban context types of residential districts, historical and «sleeping» (auth. - separated of other activities districts, which situated far away from the public center and dedicated for people to come back from work and mainly have sleeping as only activity). Despite their opposite configuration of facade stylistic and designation, it was found common partial elements between them in architectural and landscape meaning. The lack of activities in residential districts, non-organized landscape planning, uncultivated squares and proposals of small business were taken as a tool for functional and architectural changing. Aſter further analyzing with their help it was created some interventions tend to have practical implementation into current site. Their influence will be noticed also for building restoration (insulation of the building’s side), an organization of promotional activities and esthetic properties (harmonization of the silhouette street line).

Reconstruction of residential district The chosen district ďŹ lled by XX-century economy-brick-styled buildings. During the further analysis, it was found that district has the snugly infrastructure which based on existed in Soviet union period rules and norms. According to them, the following infrastructure practically shows the ratio between amount of tenants and social house conformity with the idea to ensure basic conditions for primary education and work transportation. Suchwise a district planned with 15 minutes pedestrian accessibility to the nearest bus stop and adjoined to the city highway. Other groups and needs were neglected. The leisure estimated by Otradnyi park. In spite of functional urban planning and humanistic house altitude, the site is urgently out of human’s public life to envision. In this way, the district needs proposals which tend to resolve social disfunction. Proposed below ideas shows up architectural methods of the environment changing. These propositions might refresh so-soviet-union space and bring more human-oriented activities: cycling roads, kinder yards, places of relaxation in tight proximity to apartments.
