SECOND LIFE OF THE 19th AND 20th CENTURY BUILDINGS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE REVITALIZATION OF ARCHITECTURE BUILDINGS ART GALLERIES CULTURE CENTRES
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
In 1992, the idea of adapting the power plant building located in the industrial district of London in the contemporary art gallery Tate Modern, was brought into effect. Implementation, immediately after the opening in 1997, attracted millions of visitors and over more than 20 years of cultural activity it has become one of the most popular galleries of modern art in the world. Thus the worldwide trend of arranging art and culture centres in the revitalized buildings has started. A great example of this idea is the CaixaForum in Madrid and a number of Polish projects. In each major city in our country an old neglected building which represents cultural values has been revitalized. The derelict boiler-house in Olsztyn was converted into the Technology Education Center and the building of an orphanage and a nursery was transformed into the gallery of contemporary art BWA in Kielce. Labor-intensive and costly actions contributed to saving not only abandoned and vandalized buildings, but also influenced the preservation of historic city centers, protection and reservation of frontages and precious landscape values. Public awareness in the field of cultural heritage has definitely increased and the measures aimed at giving a second life to historic, derelict buildings are met with growing interest and enthusiasm.
