Peski Master Plan, Kharkov (Ukr)
Urban development master plan
In 2003 JSA, together with two other Dutch architec-tural offices, participated in the “Architectural Am-bulance” Seminar in the Ukraine. In cooperation with Ukraine architects, the seminar focused on five loca-tions in de 19th century inner-city of Charkov. A city with a population of 1.5 million situated in the east of the country, close to the border with Russia. In December 2004 JSA began a collaboration with Oleg Drozdov, an architect and one of the organizers of “Ambulance”. This task involved the first large-scale housing project of the post-communist era.
The location covers 26 hectares and is located onthe edge of the north-eastern neighbourhood of Saltevka. This area is characterised by large Soviet housing complexes that were built from 1960 up to the fall of communism. One third of the total popula-tion live in this part of the city. The west of this area directly borders the green catchment basin of the river Charkov.
The plan involves the building of 3.000 apartments in a density of 115 apartments per hectares compa-rable to that of Saltevka. The master plan however is to break away from the Soviet typologies that were developed in Kiev, Warsaw or Moscow, and that were implemented with little consideration for the location. The master plan explicitly recognises and takes advantage of the location aspects such as view, the green river beds and the natural irregu-larity in order to develop an infrastructure and urban fabric.
