Вже кілька десятиліть в світі вирує тренд переосмислення старих і занедбаних будівель. На місці непривабливих заводів і фабрик, користь від яких вже давно була вичерпана, постають креативні простори, музеї, бари і ресторани, житло. Це явище має назву "ревіталізація", і воно стало важливим елементом стратегії розвитку сучасного міста. Знамениті Газометри у Відні і галерея "Тейт-модерн" в Лондоні, ландшафтний парк "Дуйсбург-Норд" в Німеччині та арт-інкубатор "Фабрика мистецтв" в Лодзі - приклади ревіталізації, кожен з яких є по-своєму унікальним і автентичним. Україні також дісталася велика спадщина для ревіталізації, особливо від російської імперії та СРСР. Але постає важливе питання: чи готові ми використовувати її ефективно?
“Employees are inefficient”, “they misunderstand their tasks”, “we’re not getting desired results” - this is heard increasingly often from CEO’s and other executives. Management, as usual, blames the staff, calling them low-skilled, infantile, passive whet it comes to decision-making as well as other unflattering epithets.
Modern art is everywhere these days. When going out in the morning, you can easily stumble on a graffiti of a gorilla in a pink mask painted on the walls, which could simply turn out to be a creation of some unrecognized genius from next door - or Banksy himself.
