Rapidly Constructed 3D Buildings: Sustainable Solutions in Multifactor Risk Conditions
Аннотация
The article deals with the peculiarities of forming fast architectural objects based on 3D printing under conditions of multifactor risks. The purpose of the article is to identify approaches to the organization of spatial environment: technical and social. The first type includes technical developments in design, erection and operation. Social concepts take into account the necessary human needs. The study provides insight into the methods and materials used in 3D printing, as well as the prerequisites for the development of additive manufacturing. Scientific works on the investigated problematics, related specialties and experience of design developments that take into account technological and social aspects for the realization of sustainable solutions in the formation of fast-built objects based on 3D printing under the influence of anthropogenic and natural factors have been studied.

Experience as the Main Criterion in the Parametric Rationing Method
Аннотация
The current issue of a fundamental change in construction activities rationing is discussed, namely, the transition from the prescriptive principle of standards building to the parametric one. It is shown that such transition contains a high risk of losing the design quality, since along with it the quintessence of the accumulated by decades and even centuries experience, which is the core of the construction art, contained in the prescriptive method, is lost. It is noted that mastering the art of construction has always followed the pattern of medieval workshops – from a student (university graduate) to an apprentice, who for several years adopted the art of a master, and finally to the master, who has right to engage in professional activity independently. In modern Russia as the Soviet institutions disappeared, the continuity in the design business, the natural transfer of experience from generation to generation, has been broken. Self-regulation of construction activity by placing in the center of the liability system a legal entity instead of a physical person has significantly distorted the professional responsibility principle, generally accepted in foreign and Russian practice, which can only be based on the specialist competence (a legal entity cannot possess competence in the absence of a competent person). Giving standards a recommendatory character, the status of voluntary application, the creation of non-governmental expertise, independent certification of specialists, the transition from a prescriptive rationing method to a parametric one, and similar innovations not be able to bring positive results until a specialist is placed in conditions that oblige him to master the art of construction and design experience.

Architectural and Planning Development of Multifunctional Office and Residential Complexes in the Historical Quarters of Samara
Аннотация
The article explores architectural and planning approaches to the placement of multifunctional office-residential complexes (MORCs) within the historical quarters of the city of Samara. The focus is on developing a balanced strategy that combines the preservation of historical urban identity with functional modernization and comprehensive regeneration. The study examines the distinctive morphotype of Samara’s 18th-century blocks, which have undergone transformations during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, leading to the loss of spatial and visual coherence. The article analyzes current constraints linked to the city center’s status as a historic settlement and the lack of a clear regulatory framework governing new construction and interaction with cultural heritage sites. Project examples are discussed, including conflict-free reconstruction strategies and principles of vernacular architecture shaped by local residents. The author argues for reinterpreting courtyards as meta-spaces of social activity and valuable resources for sustainable development. Emphasis is placed on creating design scenarios focused on integrating business functions into residential fabric. The article draws upon domestic and international experience and proposes planning principles aimed at harmonizing the interaction between new architecture and historical development.

Investigation of Energy Efficiency of Facade Thermal Insulation Composite Systems with Different Thermal Insulation Types in a Sharply Continental Climate
Аннотация
The existing methods for optimizing design solutions for building insulation, as well as existing regulatory requirements for the enclosing structures selection, are analyzed. The method for conducting experiments to determine the most advantageous characteristics of thermal insulation material in the conditions of Yakutsk city is proposed. The study involved construction of the buildings with different types of thermal insulation for plaster facade structures. The required thickness of the structure was determined in accordance with current regulatory requirements. The rooms were kept at a constant temperature and humidity. Daily measurements of resource consumption for the premises heating were made with meters in the experimental buildings. The results of thermal engineering parameters and heating costs in each of the facilities measurements are presented. The efficiency and heating costs of using different thermal insulation materials in the enclosing structure are compared. The conclusion about the efficiency of the construction materials in the conditions of the far north is made.

Machine Learning Methods for Organizational and Technological Design of Housing Stock Major Repair
Аннотация
This study develops a methodology for creating customized organizational and technological solutions for capital repairs of structural elements in residential buildings within large-scale regional renovation programs. The research addresses the critical need to transition from standardized approaches to condition-based solutions that account for the actual technical state of each structural element through comprehensive defect analysis. The proposed methodology fundamentally differs from conventional approaches by utilizing real structural conditions and defect patterns as primary input data rather than standard technical specifications. This innovative approach requires novel analytical frameworks, as identical structural components may exhibit different defect profiles necessitating distinct repair strategies. Through systematic comparison of machine learning techniques, we developed a hybrid SOM-Random Forest model that combines the pattern recognition capabilities of Kohonen self-organizing maps with the predictive accuracy of random forest algorithms. The implemented solution enables automated clustering of objects with similar defect characteristics and optimal repair strategy selection. The methodology was validated using a synthetic dataset of 61 flat roof structures, resulting in the identification of five distinct repair clusters. Additional testing on a rolled roof case study confirmed the approach’s effectiveness, demonstrating accurate prediction of required repair measures. The results show significant improvement in renovation planning precision while maintaining the scalability needed for regional implementation programs.

The Method of the Overlap Device for Buildings Erected Using a 3D Printer
Аннотация
When constructing buildings by the method of layer-by-layer printing for wall construction, the technological process usually does not raise questions, the same cannot be said about the construction of an overlap or other horizontal bearing element. Basically, horizontal load-bearing elements are being tried to be erected in the traditional way using formwork. As part of the implementation of the state task, a new approach has been proposed for the installation of floors made of mortar mixtures. It is proposed to use the mortar mixture for 3D printing of the overlap with partial replacement of the cement binder with aleuropelite with simultaneous use of a viscosity modifier in the form of methocoline. For the construction of low-rise buildings, a 3D printer has been selected of a portal type, the design of which provides for the presence of a “mortar extruder” with 3 nozzles feeding the mortar mixture. Behind the “mortar extruder” there is a “reinforcement extruder”, whose stepper motors supply reinforcement wire from the coil to reinforce the structure. It is proposed to divide the overlap disk into so-called “rotary segments”, which are printed on a turntable provided in the design of the printer itself. The segment is printed in a horizontal position, and when the required strength is reached, it is installed in the design position using the same turning pad. The weight of the overlap segments in this case does not exceed 400 kg (with spans up to 5 meters), therefore it does not require additional lifting and transport mechanisms. After the formation of the overlap disk from the “turning segments”, the upper seams between them are caulked with a mortar mixture, combining the structure into a single whole.

Innovations and Traditions in Facilities Constructed with 3D Construction Printing
Аннотация
Modern architecture has extremely diverse technical and aesthetic manifestations. There is no definite stylistic constant direction; there is a variety of architectural tools, methods of constructing objects, and modern technical capabilities that bring architectural forms to reference and certain methods of their materiality and architectural expressiveness. An overview of architectural solutions of facilities built by 3D construction printing is given. The features of modern architectural creativity in the context of high technology, additive, and in particular 3D construction printing technologies are considered. The purpose of the research and practical solutions of the residential housing and bus stop complex conceptual projects is to apply theoretical research and conclusions about current modern architecture to architectural projects. The selected architectural facilities are widespread, constantly being implemented, and criteria of utilitarian comfort and aesthetic appeal are important for them.
