Introduction. As an example, an object of cultural heritage of federal significance is considered, which is one of the main objects forming the general appearance of the territory of the VDNH. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the results of historical, architectural and field studies of the facility, as well as to analyze data on the condition of materials and structures of the building obtained during restoration work on the facility under the supervision of the author. Description of the differences between design solutions and solutions implemented during construction.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of work with archival information and the selection of analogues, as well as on the basis of research directly at the cultural heritage site as part of the author’s team of the restoration workshop.

Results. Conducting field studies during the production of works allowed us to introduce clarifying architectural and constructive solutions into the project. This made it possible to supplement the restoration and adaptation project, to take into account additional volumes of materials when drawing up estimates

Conclusions. When carrying out restoration work, it is extremely important to conduct scientific guidance, as well as for designers to conduct active authorial supervision, as it is not possible to perform a 100 % inspection of building structures at the stage of building inspection. The presence of hidden defects in cultural heritage sites is a constant phenomenon. The following defects were identified on the object given as an example, which affected the decision-making process.

Introduction. The tactics of accelerating the pace of civilizational development of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire through the implementation of a continuing education programme localized in integrated architectural and urban complexes of existing universities are considered.

Materials and methods. The conceptual basis of the paper is a functional and spatial synthesis of a three — phase learning system: primary general education, vocational secondary level and higher level — materialized by a complex architectural solution. Such an association is planned to be held in Ivory Coast for the first time. Therefore, the study is focused on the search and analysis of the methodology of the organization of continuing education, which has developed in other countries, and the projection of their experience on the educational system of Côte d’Ivoire.

Results. The socio-economic and ethnic circumstances, both historical and modern, are summarized. Based on the materials provided by the Ministry of Education of the Republic, a preliminary programme has been prepared for the organization of a network of educational centres for continuing education (CCE), which is now recognized as the leading one in the education and upbringing system at all age levels of students in many countries. The programme takes into account the main parameters and ethnic specifics of the contingent of trainees, the distribution of centres in the country, based on the specific needs of general and vocational education. For the first time, variants of architectural and compositional solutions of the centres are proposed, including both the main areas of study and housing, as well as infrastructure facilities that take into account the localization of complexes in the structure of cities.

Conclusions. The fundamental differences between the CCE and the planning structure and architectural solutions of existing university campuses are revealed, but the similarity of some structural elements that allow these objects to be mutually adapted is not excluded. The success of the implementation of the programme for the creation of continuing education centres in Côte d’Ivoire will make it possible to transfer the experience into the practice of neighbouring countries experiencing similar problems.

Introduction. Currently, according to the new territorial development strategy, the development of the Russian Arctic in general and the development and optimization of the structure of the ports of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in particular is one of the most important national priorities. The growing demand for infrastructure equipment for the ports of the Arctic Ocean region, the growing interest in offshore deposits in the Arctic Council countries and the need for socio-economic development of the surrounding areas require a comprehensive approach, in particular the development and implementation of a three-stage long-term development model, which includes a master plan for a settlement, an architectural and urban planning group and a standard architectural model. The objective of the study is to identify the characteristics and problems of the design of the architectural structure of the seaports of the North Sea coast in a new geopolitical phase, the development of Arctic architectural clusters based on the logistics core (seaport) and the construction of typical architectural models within the cluster based on the prevailing typology.

Materials and methods. The study is based on the application of a systematic and comprehensive approach to the design of architectural objects of seaports within the framework of clusters, an analytical analysis of documents on the spatial development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 with a forecast up to 2036, an SWOT analysis of the potential of the proposed architectural and urban planning models, and analog modeling.

Results. Regional features and problems of forming the architectural structure of NSR seaports at a new historical stage are identified. Three architectural and urban planning models of Arctic clusters based on the port of the Northern Sea Route are developed. Typical architectural models within the cluster are proposed, based on the prevailing typology. A SWOT analysis of the use of the cluster approach is conducted. Weaknesses and strengths, opportunities and threats are determined.

Conclusions. The need to supplement the new Strategy for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation until 2035 is justified by the application of a three-stage long-term urban development model, which includes: a master plan for a settlement, an architectural and urban development cluster, and a standard architectural model based on the prevailing typology.
