RE-SHAPING THE LAND AND WATER CONNECTIONS AND ITS ROLE IN ACHIEVING LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS’ CONTINUITY ON THE POST-INDUSTRIAL TERRITORIES
Abstract
This paper delves into recently applied strategies of creating new water areas and modifying the existing ones as a part of the transformation processes of post-industrial territories. It proves that while the pursuit for unique architectural and urban space values remains an important factor contributing to such modifications, they may also play an important role in reclaiming ecological systems continuity. On the basis of theoretical surveys, in-field analyses, comparative studies and study projects, this paper proves that the modification of the water borders, including creating new water lines, reservoirs or passages may contribute significantly to the quality of the landscape. While this issue is being discussed in the context of vast regional post- industrial transformations, it remains mainly unnoticed when conversions are undertaken in an urban setting. Even on a relatively small urban post-industrial parcel the creative and consequent interplay between and the natural and the built may be arranged. While properly defined, it may contribute to the development of new ecological connections or restoration of existing ones. As it stands, new water areas play a significant role in achieving that goal, while also functioning as storm water reservoirs or parts of water management systems. These findings may produce an important change in scientific thinking and practice, introducing new issues to the emerging interpretation of urban space in the category of landscape. They will also give a set of strong arguments to architects who tend to introduce water in their concepts for the post-industrial territories’ transformations and would be willing to broaden their motivations exposing ecological values.
