Methodology for creating a residential three-rayed space-planning structure

Abstract

Problem statement. The purpose of this study is to create a methodology for designing a residential three-rayed space-planning structure for small and medium-rise buildings. The methodology was created for the central and southern insolation zones of Russia in the conditions of sanitary standards of 2017. The methodology is applicable in countries located in both hemispheres of our planet with mirrored conditions of the Russian insolation standards. Results. A methodology has been developed that creates many types of «daughter» residential sections based on a single «T-shaped» three-rayed residential section, which is called the «maternal». The applied result of the research was of 27 planimetric methods of architectural combinatorics and kinetics, as well as two patents. The presented methods are implemented in brick structures during the reconstruction of the residential quarter No. 75 in the historical center of the Russian city of Menzelinsk in the Republic of Tatarstan. Conclusions. The significance of the results obtained for architecture lies in energy-efficient design, expressed in a reduction design time and an increase the types of «daughter» residential sections. The methodology was created for the future computer program for the design of multi-rayed structures of residential buildings of various storeys.
