Основні тенденції в проектуванні і будівництві висотних багатофункціональних комплексів
Formulation of the problem. Modern large cities with developed engineering infrastructure are, on the one hand, scientific, educational and cultural centers, on the other hand - the sources of social tension. Currently in metropolitan areas is carried out at a significant pace design and construction of high-rise buildings. Moreover, these trends in the development of the urban environment are observed in different countries and on different continents.Analysis of publications. Today there is a tendency to increase the number of cities and reducing the number of rural settlements in Ukraine [5; 6]. Accordingly, most of the Ukrainian population lives in cities, where spent a significant portion of harvests. In this regard, the transformation of modern cities should be in the direction of the application of energy-saving, environmentally friendly technologies to support their lives [3; 4; 7 - 10].The purpose of this paper is to identify major trends in the design and construction of high-rise mixed-use complexes in major cities.Conclusions. Described objects are only part of the total high-rise construction.The process of construction of high-rise buildings continues to grow, especially in the further expansion and improvement of technical capabilities, as well as in terms of the use of new building materials.Analysis of high-rise construction projects multifunctional complexes allows to distinguish two main trend of building construction for the next 10 - 20 years: first, architectural singularity, secondly,environmental projects, which is dictated by the need to ensure the physical and psychological comfort sverhurbanizirovannoy human environment.
