The article considers the development of the architectural and structural system of buildings in St. Petersburg during the reign of the Empress Anna Ioannovna. During this period, there were worked out space-planning and design solutions, which were successfully and almost invariably used throughout the XVIII - XIX centuries. Vaulted passageways in the main street buildings leading to the inner courtyard, rafter roof structures over cold not heated attics, unique designs of spires and tiered completions of temples - these are some of the constructive developments of this era. Generalizing the experience of the structures` development allows appreciating the evolution of construction skills, identifying and preserving the historical structural elements of the buildings of the city center.

The article deals with the process of forming the structural solution of the buildings in St. Petersburg in the 1703-1730-s. St. Petersburg has established its own sustainable architectural and structural system, which remained virtually unchanged until the beginning of the XX century. This system began to be formed during the reign of Emperor Peter I, by borrowing and mastering the Western European experience, combining the advanced innovations of that time and Russian traditions. Generalization of the experience of creating a structural system will allow assessing the evolution of the construction skills in St. Petersburg, identifying and preserving the structural elements of the historical buildings of the city center.

Henri Lefebvre’s project, developed over decades of research produced a corpus of work that sought to reprioritise the fundamental role of space in the experience and practice of social life. His assertion that there is ‘politics of space’ provides a challenge to the planning and design of the built environment by emphasising the need to understand the complex of elements involved in ‘the production of space’. Lefebvre’s approach and his ‘cry and demand’ for a ‘right to the city’ reflects the fundamental focus and importance he imparts to the practices, meanings and values associated with the inhabitation and use of the social spaces of everyday life. It will be argued that planning and design theory and practice should seek to address more fully and incorporate Lefebvre’s spatial theory as a means to reinvigorate and regenerate the urban as a lived environment, as an oeuvre, as opportunity for inhabitation, festival and play and not merely as a functional habitat impelled by the needs of power and capital.

As a vital historic neighborhood with an indeterminate large-scale planning scheme, Yingping, located in the city center of Xiamen, China, is struggling with poor livability and growing incoherent private additions and renovations that largely undermine the local historic urban landscape. Inspired by Italian typology- and morphology-led planning techniques, this study explores the possible interpretations and implications of their applications in Yingping to address its interconnected, heterogeneous, and stratified urban fabric and planning problems. The research is developed through a two-pronged multi-layered planning framework. Firstly, from the maintenance perspective, five intervention approaches are grouped, with a specific focus on the leading structural elements of the urban fabric—the arcade streets. Secondly, from the morphological view and through the ecological lens, six characterized areas are identified and classified with respective morphological features and crucial planning problems being faced. This framework provides a strategic thematization of corresponding optimizing strategies and suitable guidelines to direct future governmental actions and to support the self-maintenance of local inhabitants toward sustainable development. The study also presents the possibility that such techniques are applicable to the Chinese context and is expected to inspire further research and practices in China and beyond.


This article investigates the problem of construction of dwellings In the conditions of the mountainous city of Kasab, which has a complex relief. The city is located in the" bowl " formed by a mountain massif. And for the construction of individual houses were used flat areas with a small slope. In connection with military operations in the country increases the population emigrating to Kasab, where military operations are not conducted. At the same time, there is a need for new types of houses, which take into account the traditions of the Arab family and provide an opportunity to adapt to modern conditionsin city Kasab. The existing building has a low quality architecture of the living environment: the space-planning structure of houses is not very diverse in architecture and functional content. To solve this situation, it is proposed to build cost-effective individual houses in mountainous areas using the structural system "bearing floor". This article analyzes the structural system "bearing floor". Its economic advantages and space-planning capabilities with due regard for constraints are determined. The basic characteristics of this system, which meet the requirements of modern housing are presented. These recommendations make it possible to increase the comfort of living and reduce the consumption of reinforced concrete for the construction of the house up to two times compared with traditional solutions.

Nowadays, the importance of greenway applications in planning studies has increased to meet the increasing environmental problems in cities, the loss of open spaces, and the increasing need for recreation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate within the scope of the greenway about the part of 11 km of the Çankırı railway passing through the city center by considering the planning and design dimension. The research was carried out in four stages: literature review, analysis of natural and cultural landscape characteristics, preparation of a conceptual plan, and design suggestions. The area has a straight aspect, the slope is 0–3%, and it is an alluvial structure. It was determined that there are registered historical buildings, but structural areas are intense. According to plan, a green area and a bicycle path arrangement was proposed at the side of the railway. Also, along the existing road routes, a walking or bicycle path was proposed to provide connection between open green areas in the city. In the design process, appropriate landscape design solutions were developed for the station area, and it was proposed that street area and some intersection points be pedestrianized.

Despite the current natural hazard in Russia, when most of its vast territory may be exposed to the effects of various hazardous natural phenomena, in all federal laws and regulations of the Russian Federation construction content is not even recognized as the "main object of protection" from these influences. So, one of the indicators of not recognizing people as the "main object of protection" when exposed to hazardous natural phenomena is the lack of provisions in federal laws and regulations of the Russian Federation of construction content, which should address the protection of people's health in buildings under impacts, for example, earthquakes, fires. And this is despite the truth long ago established by medical scientists that in case of an earthquake or fire, the protection of people's health depends on the space-planning and design solutions of buildings. Therefore, the article substantiates that without recognizing people as the "main object of protection" in buildings under dangerous natural phenomena, it is simply impossible to protect people's life and health under these dangerous influences.

The article deals with the process of transformation of Saint Petersburg buildings in the period of the XVIII-XX centuries. The buildings of the city center have been rebuilt many times, and behind the facade designed in a specific style there may hide walls referring to various historical periods. The value of a building is determined not only with its architectural and spatial characteristics, but also with building materials and structural elements used. Specific cases of transformation of buildings` facades over time are analyzed on the examples of buildings located on Millionnaya Street and English Embankment. The issue of preserving, exhibiting, and museumifying structural elements is raised.
