Functional changes and re-use of former Soviet factories, those currently are not usable , can be significant step in order to optimize the appearance of the city and proper using of abandoned buildings to supply community needs.
This Territorial which is called Gorjaranayin, is full of abounded Industrial warehouses because it had been one of the main stations of industrial rail ways ,among Soviet factories. The project had included Functional reconstruction & instauration of whole area to a student town within universities, dormitory, administerial buildings & a big park with sports facilities. The main idea was reusing the old structures & abandoned items such as old buildings ,cranes & Containers & railways .Containers are usable for students housing system. I preferred to set up some modular meshes for placing the containers on them ,they can be variable & students can choose their own containers compound, even they can shift their them during the time. The second important structure was the cultural center which was placed on the main axis that connected the center of campus to the center of dormitory area.
The whole project was based on reusing & refunctioe the abounded areas in order to change the city to more beautiful & useful area with protecting the environment by using industrial waste .
