Reconstruction of Courtyards in Historical Buildings of Saint-Petersburg – Ways to Improve Quality of Interior Space

Abstract:

Courtyards in historical building of Saint-Petersburg can be normally featured with an insufficient level of light and solar exposure and poor natural airing. They are often turned into parking places causing even worse air quality there. The article deals with construction experience of atriums in the historical center of Saint-Petersburg. Possibilities to have internal yards made of glass in accordance with protection regularities for cultural heritage-listed objects of Saint-Petersburg have been analyzed herein. Glazing of secluded yards is suggested to be performed pursuing the aim to improve quality of courtyards environment.
