DESIGN TECHNIQUES OF NATURE-INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURE IN THE FORMATION OF HYBRID HOUSING

Abstract

The article studies the use of design techniques of nature-integrated architecture in the formation of hybrid residential complexes. The features and varieties of application of natural elements are identified, attention is paid to the identification and classification of design techniques, the main features and promising directions of development of hybrid housing in combination with elements of nature-integrated architecture are determined.The subject of the study is the possibilities of using nature-integrated design techniques and methods of their incorporation into various spaces of hybrid residential complexes – in exterior and interior spaces. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to develop modern methods and conceptual solutions to change the balance of the relationship between the urban living environment and nature.The analysis of current trends in design and architecture has revealed the need to find relevant solutions in the formation of residential facilities that increase their functionality, meet the requirements of sustainable development, ensure the comfort of residents and users, and improve environmental conditions in the urban environment.According to the research of experts in architectural theory and the experience of practical design and construction of residential facilities in the urban environment, one of the promising areas for the development of residential development is the formation of hybrid housing and the inclusion of natural components in the structure of residential buildings.The integration of the natural component into residential buildings is one of the innovative architectural approaches aimed at restoring the connection between humans and nature in the context of urbanisation. Nature- integrated architecture is especially in demand in modern society in the context of an increase in urban areas, population growth and density in large cities, growing environmental and energy problems, epidemics, etc.One of the priority areas of sustainable urban development is the development of concepts for creating hybrid residential complexes that combine several interrelated functions and meet the ever-changing needs of residents, and have high aesthetic and environmental characteristics. Therefore, the application of design techniques and methods for incorporating the natural component into such objects, as discussed in this article, is one of the most effective ways to solve many problems of the urban environment.
