| Title of the article | Alafuzov’s linen-spinning factory. Contemporary state of industrial complex of XIX century |
| Abstract. | Alafuzov’s linen-spinning factory is located in the north-western part of the city of Kazan in the Kirov region in the territory of Jagodnaja sloboda, Gladilova street (former Arkhangelskaya) on the banks of the old river bed Kazanka and was founded in the middle of the XIX century. Factory complex consists of various buildings of different periods of construction. During archival research and visual inspection of the object 15 buildings were found that were built in the XIX century, which bear the historical, architectural and artistic value, two of them are the objects of cultural heritage. Now the territory linen-spinning factory is in degraded condition. During the field study violation of temperature and humidity conditions were found, most of the buildings are not in use and are not heated. Ecological situation is also in an emergency state. This problem requires urgent actions. The industrial zone has lost its value in the area, both in the structure of the city and region as a whole. Buildings and structures of the factory can no longer fulfill its old functions, and cannot correspond to the modern requirements and standards of production. They must be repaired and reconstructed. In connection with the major urban plans of city development and expansion, this area is going to be closer to the central part. Taking to consideration the overall situation the historic industrial object is on the verge of extinction. To preserve the architectural, cultural and historical significant objects the valorization of the area and the introduction of a new function are required. |
