| Abstract [eng] |
There are not just dozens but hundreds of abandoned and derelict sites in Lithuania, which have huge potential for redevelopment and reuse. One such site is the former military missile base in Karmėlava, which symbolises not only the bitterness of the past, but also the current problems of urban development. Although there has been a great deal of attention paid to urban and spatial development in recent times, architecture does not provide additional solutions to the problem of these territories, which do not have a direct source of investment ideas, and the vast amount of abandoned, preserved and disused territories reminds us of the existing problems of urban and architectural development, which are not acceptable to anyone, because such buildings or territories are neither attractive nor do they contribute to a better life for the population. Research has shown that targeted and direct development design guidelines that are not only site-oriented, but also take into account the needs of the population, emotional, social and other indicators, can help to create universal design guidelines that can contribute to the development of attractive and functionally useful spaces and areas. A qualitative and quantitative empirical sociological survey has shown that purposeful and user-centred design is the most important indicator for successful design, and that taking into account human emotional, social and physical characteristics is one of the quickest ways to make purposeful use of abandoned and disused sites, other focus group, architectural alternatives analysis studies have identified appropriate development directions, population groups, scale, and the main and actual objectives for the continuation of successful development of a site. The experimental project is based on a conceptual model developed from empirical research, focusing on architectural design based on emotional, social and physical indicators of people. The project consists of three main parts: an analysis and synthesis of the existing situation, a study on the adaptation of alternative design solutions and a study on the application of the generalised model for the development of the complex to test the results of the research. Universal design guidelines are formulated to be applied to the development of similar types of sites and areas. |
