| Abstract [eng] |
This paper presents a comparative study of late Stalinist airport terminals in Kharkiv and Vilnius, examining how a shared Soviet typology generated locally differentiated architectural expressions. Using archival sources, field survey and comparative analysis, it identifies two conservation logics, namely heritage-core preservation through load reduction and adaptive reuse under infrastructural pressure, and argues that architectural value and ideological burden are not mutually exclusive in shaping conservation strategies for dissonant heritage. |
