The evolution of theatrical spaces from antiquity to the present day is analyzed. The history of the construction of the Samara elevator is described, and the results of a study of the current state of it and the surrounding area are presented. The concept of organizing a vertical theater space in an existing building is revealed. A description is given of the proposal to transform the structural structure of the elevator and the architectural and planning organization of its internal space, taking into account adaptation to a new function - a vertical theater.

The problem of the development of the Samara historical settlement continues to be the focus of attention of the city’s architectural community and a significant part of its residents. The historical environment in this article is considered in the socio-economic and communicative aspect. The spatial and material resources of historical buildings are identified, facilitating contact between the manufacturer and supplier and the consumer. Points of contact are located both in the information field and in direct communication in public spaces. The methodological tools used in the article include developments from the field of marketing.

In development of the topic raised in IP magazine No. 14 / 2023, the main attention is paid to mass and experimental rental housing designed and/or built in the USSR in the 1920s - early 1930s, as well as its architectural and typological features. The object of the study is the residential environment of the rental (municipal) type, the subject of the study is the factors influencing the typological evolution of housing. The purpose of the study is to systematize, generalize and critically retrospective analyze the domestic experience of economical housing, identifying its forms characteristic of the Soviet era. Based on a content analysis of data published in open sources, it was concluded that mass housing, which had pronounced socially oriented properties and minimal parameters, became one of the key tools for ensuring the stability of society. Despite this, today the architectural and planning structure of this housing does not meet the needs of the population. It is necessary to search for new design principles.

The problem of modern cities is considered - the need to ensure efficient and comfortable movement of people and goods. With the development of transport, the issue of maintaining an attractive pedestrian environment arises. The concept of “architecture of transit spaces” and the role of transit routes in the planning structure of the city are revealed, and their diversity is examined. These spaces include various elements of urban infrastructure, pedestrian streets, boulevards, squares, underground passages, passages that provide connections between different parts of the city. The study identified four main groups of transit spaces: streets, bridges, covered walkways and temporary structures. Using the example of real objects, factors influencing the formation of transit routes, their scale and geometry, functional content and, as a result, the architecture itself are studied.

The features of the placement of veterinary clinics and animal shelters in the planning structure of cities in different countries and various methods of spatial organization of veterinary space in their implemented design practice are considered.

One of the author's pedagogical methods is presented that stimulates creative and imaginative thinking among students studying in architectural fields. The method consists of a set of sequential pre-design exercises that help to form a figurative, emotional and symbolic understanding of the design site, the context of the place in a broad sense, and the object itself. Exercises include work on the verbal, semiotic, visual and plastic levels. The complex can be considered as the basis for the development of individual teaching methods and practical work in similar areas of creative activity.

Reflections on the topic of paradigm shifts in architectural education. The dependence of various trends in obtaining the profession of an architect on philosophical, socio-political and mental factors. Understanding the coexistence of bio-techno-sociocentric trends in modern architectural education taking place against the backdrop of active digitalization.
