Design Architecture of High-Rise Buildings

This article analyzes Russian and foreign experience in high-rise building design, describes formation stages of high-rise buildings, and compares structural systems and their impact on architecture, functional zones, in particular vertical public spaces, and considers the final model of a high-rise building. The relevance of the research topic is due to both the high population density in the largest cities and the need to create accent objects in the urban environment, the efficient use of urban areas. Purpose: Identification of architectural styles of high-rise buildings and development of proposals for the largest cities, in particular Moscow. Methodology: The literature review, normative documents, statistical data and Internet resources on high-rise buildings, description and comparison of high-rise buildings in the largest cities of Russia to identify common characteristics, classification and generalization of information obtained during the analysis in the form of schemes, diagrams and models. Research findings: The hypothesis of the modern world is considered for large cities. Increased population density is solved by a construction of high-rise buildings. The analysis of formative factors includes urban planning, architectural planning, functional, constructive, affecting the architecture of high-rise buildings and their classification by functional content, height, functional purpose, materials. Value: The concept is proposed for a high-rise building consisting of two interconnected towers, including residential, social, business and shopping and entertainment functions.
