Primary Methods of Forming the Adaptation of Architectural Multifunctional Public Objects

Abstract

In light of the rapid growth of cities, there emerges the need for new solutions to adapt objects to the urban environment. Changes in the functional purpose and modernization of public buildings necessitate the transformation of space. The goal of the research was to determine the key principles of the formation of adaptive multifunctional public buildings. The study implemented historical, bioanalytical, and comparative analysis of mixed-use public complexes, as well as a survey of experts. As a result, the authors identified the factors contributing to the emergence of a classification range of adaptation features, as well as the categories and types of adaptation of objects. Proceeding from the conducted research, the authors propose methods for the adaptation of multifunctional public complexes. The paper concludes that these methods allow for a prompt and efficient response to changing socio-economic conditions and promote the formation of a comfortable urban environment. The application of adaptation methods in design and construction will simplify the task of adapting obsolete facilities to the new transformed demands of society. Therefore, it appears important to study trends in the development of architectural objects in terms of their functional aspects in response to the impact of external factors, similar to processes in the natural environment.
