“…At some stage, the external environment of some deeper level is not aggressive and has few differences from the internal environment. This contradiction does not allow for the construction of a model based on the comparison of external and internal environment parameters [16]. The fractal structure of clear distributions based on the responsibilities for various components complies with this goal [17].…”

The current stage of the development of the Arctic region of Russia coincided with the development and implementation of the ideas of sustainability: the identification of mechanisms and risk management, the ability to withstand future climate change through reorganization and upgrading. Under the new development conditions, we propose a model of the architectural and spatial organization of an environmental object of any level (building, settlement, city) that takes into account the specific region constraints. The authors suggest using a parcel with a set of patterns as the basic unit of the planning level. The patterns within this level are connected. Outside, the levels of the parcels are linked to each other and the natural surroundings. At the building level, engineering systems and their resilience are identified. At the level of external relations, environmental systems are identified - manifestations of the environment with possible aggressive impacts. Their resilience lies in their reaction to change. Engineering systems shall interact with social ones: when designing, the social responsibility of investors should be considered to provide the autonomy of each parcel, and after construction, it is necessary to define the responsibilities of all users. The system of parcel patterns is flexible, stable, and ready for probabilistic aggressive impacts of the outside world.

“…As “architecture can be found in the actions and relational practices of everyday life” (Trogal and Petrescu, 2017, 11), this study focuses on “everyday geographies” (Horton and Kraftl, 2014, p. 181) and the mundane, rather than on states of exception. Architecture is here framed as a process rather than object (Stickells, 2011), located in socio-spatial interactions and occupation.…”

PurposeThe playground is a commonly advised means to integrate children into the public realm of “child-friendly cities”, yet research has tended not to examine it in relation to adjacent public space. This paper aims to understand the extent to which the playground – a socio-spatial phenomenon – facilitates children's integration into the public realm, enabling critical examination of the “child-friendly space” concept.Design/methodology/approachAn ethnographic study was carried out across three sites in Athens, Greece, where typical neighbourhood playgrounds replicate features common across the global north. Methods combined observation (167 h; morning, afternoon, evening), visual-mapping and 61 semi-structured interviews with 112 playground users (including adults and children from the playgrounds and surroundings). Rigorous qualitative thematic analysis, involving an iterative post-coding process, allowed identification of spatial patterns and emergent themes.FindingsFindings reveal perceptions surrounding the protective and age-specific aspects of child-friendly design, limit the playgrounds' public value. However, a paradox emerges whereby the playgrounds' adjacency to public spaces designed without child-friendly principles affords children's engagement with the public realm.Research limitations/implicationsReconceptualisation of the “child-friendly playground” is proposed, embracing interdependence with the public realm – highly significant for child-friendly urban design theory and practice globally. Researchers are encouraged to compare findings in other geographical contexts.Originality/valueThis original finding is enabled by the novel approach to studying the playground in relation to adjacent public realm. The study also offers the first empirical examination of child-friendly city principles – participation in social life and urban play – in a Greek context, addressing a geographical gap in literature on children's everyday spaces.

“…Le criticità sono ancora più rilevanti se si considerano le altre dimensioni della sostenibilità, complementari a quella eco-ambientale ed economica, quali: la dimensione sociale, tecnologica-produttiva e quella finanziaria; oltre alla necessità di affrontare le questioni della sostenibilità non solo alla scala globale ma anche a quella locale. La ricerca progettuale sulla sostenibilità, con i suoi successi e i suoi fallimenti, può dare un contributo alla messa a punto di regolamenti e norme, pensiamo a rileggere le opere di architetti quali Lucien Kroll, George W. Reinberg, Thomas Herzog, Sergio Los, o interventi quali il Bedzed, o anche le più recenti esperienze di interventi dove la sostenibilità è declinata come costruzione sociale dello spazio (Attaianese and Losasso, 2022;Trogal et al, 2019). Il tema della progettazione energetica e ambientale (ma vale anche per la progettazione strutturale) ha dato anche un impulso particolare alla transizione digitale nel settore dell'architettura e della costruzione.…”

“…Design research on sustainability, with its successes and failures, can contribute to the development of rules and criteria. We could reread the works of architects such as Lucien Kroll, George W. Reinberg, Thomas Herzog, Sergio Los, or ecovillage such as Bedzed, or more recent experiences where sustainability unfolds in the social construction of space (Attaianese and Losasso, 2022;Trogal et al, 2019). Energy, sustainability and environmental design have given special impetus to the digital transition in architecture and construction.…”
