Romanticism of a red brick.
Romanticism of a red brick.
Tampere - industrial centre of Finland - has celebrated recently
The 222 anniversary.
Based in 1779 the Swedish king Gustav III, it already in
1783 had a paper-mill, the first in the country. And in 1820,
When Scot James Finlejson has received from Russian tsar
The privilege on development on the former state earths
The industries, in city and country history the new has been opened
Page - industrial.
Quickly developing, cotton factory Finlejsona became
Most advanced among similar in Europe, having defined destiny of a city
- In total in some years it already became capital Finnish
The industries.
Then there was a set of other enterprises, and all of them
Have settled down more close to the river Tammerkoski (in XIX century water
Was the basic energy source). A red brick of the factory
The walls washed by quickly running water Tammerkoski, became a dominant
In perception of Tampere. Industrial kinds along the river the ministry
Environment of Finland are recognised by Finnish national
Landscapes, and one of city factories is represented on a denomination
Advantage 20 FM (on a face sheet - the worker of factory
"Finlejson" Vjajne Lynn, become by the Finnish writer-classic).
The birthday of Tampere has noted solemn opening
New exhibition facilities of a museum of work "Werstas" (that
It is translated as "workshop") in restored the oldest
Factory Finlejsona building.
The idea about creation of a similar museum was born in 1950th years. Now
The museum occupies a building of factory management, and the basic,
The five-floor case will be completely ready by 2005.
The museum "Werstas" co-ordinates activity more than 180
The enterprises and the organisations, into their number enter provincial,
City, local museums (for example, only in their Helsinki 10 -
Museums of glass, road transport etc., in JUvjaskjulja -
The museum of art and crafts, in the Tampere is a museum of Lenin,
Working quarter "Amuri").
At opening three exhibitions - "History have been presented
Generations "and" Socialist internatsional ", and also
"Industrial architecture of St.-Petersburg", prepared
Margarita Shtiglits and its colleagues from Committee on the state
To the control, use and protection of monuments of St.-Petersburg.
The exhibition showed the best samples of factory buildings
Petersburg, presented to photos and drawings.
- Than the invitation of Petersburgers is called? - We have asked at
Directors of a museum "Werstas" pontusa Blomstera.
- Development of the industry of Finland, province of Russia, and
Petersburg went in parallel: through Petersburg in Tampere arrived
The equipment, and production made at our factories,
It was delivered to Russian army (in our city took places Russian
Garrison and flotilla from 5 ships, and also hospital) or
It was realised - also in Peter. Besides, building
Factories and factories it was sometimes conducted both in Tampere, and in Petersburg by one
And the same architects on similar technologies, it and
Our interest to this exhibition speaks.
- How you manage to contain ancient buildings in the such
The perfect order?
- We have a special government program on
To reconstruction and use old, served the
Industrial buildings. For example, the historical architectural
Factory "п п п п©п п п п " ensemble (joint-stock company linen and
The railway industry, the factory which was letting out the turbines,
Steam locomotives, the ships) were contained in itself by the versatile museum centre
"Vaprijkki", placed in the former mechanical shops, and also
Inhabited quarter - factory cases have converted under apartments. In
Building of the former spinning mill (from which, the truth, remained
One walls) are apartments, sanatorium, high quality hotel,
Pedagogical institute and even aquapark "Tampere Spa".
- And what we? - A question already to Margarita Shtiglits.
- The industry leaves the central areas of Petersburg, in
Which historically took places, releasing separate buildings and
Even the whole complexes. Empty cases quickly collapse, and
Even in what else the life glimmers, appear not more often
In the best position. Desperate attempts of singles to save ours
Industrial heritage will not bring result, yet will not be
It is created similar to the Finnish government program city
The strategic plan of preservation and use of the historical
Industrial complexes.
- But after all conversations on similar use are conducted for a long time.
Besides, the expositions of the modern art placed in
Factory shops (and is minimum adapted for it),
Are still popular in the West (and not only in the West - we will recollect
Oleg's last year's action Janushevsky, spent in territory
New Holland).
- The first steps are already made. So, it is reconstructed water pressure head
Tower in the street Shpalernoj, belonging to "Water canal". Are cleaned
Internal partitions, are created specific platforms. Soon in it
The Museum of water telling about history of a waterpipe will open.
Thanks to that KGIOPom money for inspection have been allocated
And the project of restoration of a building of the First tram depot on the Average
The prospectus of Vasilevsky island, it can be soon transformed
In a tram Museum. The Warsaw station, round which so long
Passions stormed, at last has sheltered the old railway technics.
Also commercial use of its areas is supposed also.
However how much still the enterprises requires re-equipment!
Solodovnja brewery "Bavaria" the factory waits for investments,
Nobelja on the Vyborg quay - not factory, and the whole small town, with
Industrial and inhabited cases, the sample of expediency,
Inherent new (the sample of a boundary XIX - the XX-th centuries) to the capital. Factory
Dignity-galli on the Ligovsky prospectus and cotton-printing factory
Voronina, Ljutsha and CHeshera on the Tanning line Vasilevsky
Islands... And Bypass? On him there is a weight of the surprising
Constructions.
We were personally convinced of Tampere, that our ideas about
Reshaping of the staying idle enterprises and their use
The areas are completely not utopian. We do not leave hope that
Sometime and in our city there will be a museum similar to Finnish, in
Which presses, the weaver's equipment would be collected,
Steam-engines, drawings, photos, the documents telling about
Industry formation in a city and the country, about the industrial
The design which has arisen as area of art thanks to a baron
SHtiglitsu, to the large industrialist, the owner Neva
bumagoprjadilnoj and nitochnoj manufactories and to the School founder
Technical drawing (nowadays - Muhinsky school). We still can
To find exhibits for a technics museum (some such potential
The exhibits made in a century before last, still make
Production), but there will pass some years, and will be thrown out or handed over in
Meltdown last old machine tool.
- In what of buildings the such, in your opinion, could take places
Museum?
- Factory complexes, worthy to become a museum,
The huge set, and it in turn also complicates a choice. With
Other party, it is impossible to dismiss and the right
Properties, conditions of rent and the other bureaucratic moments.
But despite it, we continue job and we hope for the help
Our neighbours: in the project - the organisation of the Russian-Finnish centre,
Which would prosecute subjects of a technique of protection and rehabilitation
Industrial buildings, propagation and attraction of investments into this
Yet too popular sphere of municipal economy.
Not only for shine of the Neva prospectus Petersburg is nice, but also
Power of the industry, not only one palaces are looked in the Neva waters, but
And factory pipes. Today the situation is that, that they can
To repeat destiny of temples, smetennyh there is no time from the person of the earth "for
Uselessness ". But what will grow on fragments who knows?
