Public Talk: "Sanatoriums" at A-House

How can sanatoriums and resort areas be transformed while preserving their public value and accessibility? And is it possible to create an atmosphere of rest and recovery even within a metropolis?

This discussion explored cases where architecture becomes a tool for sustainable development, supporting local communities and creating comfortable environments—both in functioning sanatoriums and in the resort zones of major cities.

Anna Kulikova shared insights on preserving the social function of a sanatorium during renovation:

• The story of the Zhemchuzhina Sanatorium: transforming a socially significant asset into a modern complex
• Architectural strategies for sensitive reconstruction without interrupting the facility's operation
• Maintaining accessibility for local residents, including the elderly
• Balancing modernization with preserving the familiar environment for regular guests
• Social responsibility in development: the intersection of economics and ethics in collaborative decision-making
