New life of abandoned buildings
Abandoned buildings in Russia, and indeed the world - a phenomenon almost everywhere. Sometimes, however, there are still people who are willing to turn everything upside down and breathe into these buildings new life. Here are some rather curious example of transformation of abandoned buildings.

In Germany, not far from the village Rietzneuendorf-Staakow there is a whole entertainment complex called Tropical Islands Resort. This is a huge indoor water park, created in the aviation hangar, built before World War II. Previously, it kept the giant airships, and now there is a rest people splashing in pools and sliding down a water slide.
The Botanical Garden at the railway station
Atocha - this is the first railway station in Madrid, opened in February 1851. Many remember Atocha since the horrific terrorist attack in 2004. But now it resembles only a monument and visitors amazes people the beauty of tropical nature, magnificently raging inside the building. The architect Rafael Moneo created directly at the train station a wonderful botanical garden. Now it is the largest train station, the center of Railways, with a huge shopping center, cafes and a botanical garden. Garden area - 4000 square meters. Among the plants hidden pond where live 22 species of fish and turtles.
Parking in the theater
It is the only park in the world in the style of the Italian Renaissance. We are talking about the Michigan Theater in Detroit. In the 1970s, citizens were allowed to park in the former auditorium. The irony is that the theater was built on the site of the first departments of the factory of Henry Ford. Opened in 1926 the cinema was the largest in the state. The building served as a traditional theater, cinema and concert hall, received and held 4,000 spectators, but gradually it became unprofitable. Now, under the gilded walls painted parked cars, overseen by the cherubs that adorn what was once the scene. Against the background of peeling plaster still hang tattered remnants of the red velvet curtains.
Climbing wall at a sugar factory
Idle silos sugar refinery in Montreal Bureau Smith Vigeant Architects transformed into a set of climbing. Determined to preserve the imprint of history in the interior of the building, walls for climbing issued in the form of rocks white, symbolizing the stocks of sugar, which was once filled with silage. The walls have a different level of complexity that allows to choose the best option for themselves, in accordance with the technical and physical preparation.
The farm on the old factory
In China, despite the rapid industrial growth, too, have abandoned factories. And one of them in the vicinity of Shenchzhenya recently turned into a farm to grow fresh fruits and vegetables. People tend to use the maximum benefit of any piece of land, even abandoned factories. Creators of Value Farm plan to transfer the experience of this unusual farm on the scale of the whole of China, which should positively affect the growth of food security in the world's most populous country.
Winery of the old boats
The new winery on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in California, not just built of bricks, but of the old fishing boats, which have recently sailed in coastal waters. The design of this unusual complex developed Mexican architect Claudia Turrent and Alejandro d'Acosta. It involves the creation of a complex of buildings of a small winery, as materials which uses garbage thrown on the Ocean Beach California peninsula in Mexico in the place where the company is built. This plant, according to the authors of the project is to conceptually combine the wine-making and fishing - two traditional occupation of the inhabitants of Baja California, which for centuries kept the economy of this state.
Exhibition centers, apartments and offices in the former factories and manufactories
In recent years, Moscow has become fashionable to use the abandoned premises for creative platform and community for artists, designers and creative people in general. For example, design-bottle plant at the site of the former factory Crystal, or Winery - on-site brewery, offices in a former factory Red October. It is understandable - High-quality brickwork makes the room cozy, and large areas can be organized office dreams.
The exhibition of street art in the house for demolition
Paris Gallery has invited 105 artists that they "decorated" abandoned apartments and stairwells nine-storey building, which previously housed the poor. The most ambitious is currently an exhibition of street art, take 4, 5 thousand square meters, can be visited until the end of October of 2013. After this house, as planned, was demolished.
Swimming pool in an abandoned subway station
A new candidate for the post of mayor of Paris Nathalie Koziuscot-Morizet ponder the question of using abandoned areas and decided that an empty subway station, you can use a more rational way. So now in its election program has very original designs on changing stations abandoned: it turns out, there can be placed and a swimming pool, and a nightclub, and even theater. By the way, these projects it has developed itself with the help of two architects.
House and Museum of the Old Bridge
In San Francisco a few years pondered what to do with the old bridge Bay Bridge, built in 1936, when a new bridge was built. There were projects of transformation of the object in the residential area, but they remained only on paper. As a result, decided to sell the bridge for scrap, China, and already half we dismantled it. However, a local millionaire, bought the remaining part to build on it Bay Bridge House - an unusual house, combined with the museum. The outer walls of the building will be made of glass, so that from any point of the house you can admire the elegant panorama of San Francisco and is located on the other side of the Gulf of Auckland. Himself a millionaire is not going to live in this house.
