Classical order architecture for new residential microdistricts – as a means of harmonizing and humanizing the emerging environment
Incoming article date: 15.07.2025The article is devoted to the issues of solving modern problems of development of the residential environment of new districts. The aim of the study was to create a proposal capable of providing a high-quality residential environment that positively influences the social microclimate and visual culture through people's perception of urbanized spaces using the aesthetics of classical architecture. It is substantiated that the greatest value for city residents is possessed by historical quarters of central zones formed in Russia from buildings with a characteristic classical order architectural form-building. New residential areas are often formed according to the principles of ghetto, with a priority focus on reducing the cost of investments in the construction of the facility and maximizing the developer's profit, which creates a stable trend towards social deprivation, the consequence of which are depressive psychological disorders and a decrease in the physical health of residents, stagnation and degradation of such territories in the future. An approach is proposed that allows minimizing the costs of constructing residential complexes using classical order architecture using modern additive technologies that can facilitate the implementation of decorative elements. This approach allows us to reveal a new stage in the development of order architecture, which will ensure historical cultural continuity and harmonization of the environment of new residential complexes, due to the properties of classical form-building.
