Abstract
Izarov A. New Modifying Spatial Institution ‘Genesis’ In a void, no one could say why a thing once set in motion should stop anywhere; for why should it stop here rather than here? Aristotle, Physics 1. The growth of global challenges to humanity, including an increase in population, in the forms of settlement, migration’s factors, pandemics, etc. calls us to rethink the fundamental nature of the creation and functioning of a space. Today, the dominant role is played by horizontal spatial structures, which are mostly regular and archaic in nature. 2.From the historical background point, the formation and development of space as a planning system is closely interconnected with the forms of human settlement. The change in the forms of settlement from shelters-caves-houses to towns-cities-agglomerations formed the main structural nuclei of the planning structure and buildings. The basic typology of buildings is an evolutionary balance of priorities between housing, working and playing. The main functions of buildings became utilitarian and were fixed as basic. The voids between the buildings, according to the residual principle, formed the space serving housing, work, production and recreation. Spaces were codified and became archaic elements in the architectural planning structure, closing their development in monofunctional, for example, public space, including squares, squares, streets, etc. 3. Such spaces are difficult to modify and, as practice shows, they often turn out to be unprepared for new challenges and do not meet the requirements of sustainable development. 4. The new modifying spatial institution "Genesis" is a complex of new principles for the formation of space and voids for different forms of settlement. This presupposes the application of a new approach and rethinking of the archaic nature of forms and functions in existing and newly created spaces. The use of "Genesis" makes it possible to modify the space and voids and return it to the "zero" state in order to free it up for subsequent transformations of forms and functions. 5. Binding to the function and capabilities in a particular location is a constraining factor for the development of space. Therefore, modifying spaces carry out spatial transit, abandoning this and freeing up the potential for development in old (existed) and only nascent spatial structures. Creation of a spatial modification protocol will help to evolve from real and virtual space to Genesis space. 6. The introduction of the coefficient of spatial void will make it possible to design new forms of spaces, while maintaining balance in space to maintain future dynamics instead of statics. Application of the new spatial institution "Genesis", considered in our work on the example of a practical planning case for the implementation of a spatial transaction of the central and peripheral core of the city of Kyiv, which can also be multiplicated in other locations. Rethinking of new spaces creation and transforming existing ones will expand the opportunities for sustainable development of our future generations while preserving memory and traditions.
