This paper examines the architectural development of collective housing from the 19th century to the present day, reflecting changes in socio-economic and cultural conditions. It examines key types of collective housing, including phalansteries, communal houses, new housing, co-living and co-housing, with an emphasis on their architectural features and the influence of external factors such as industrialization, political course and technological progress. The study is based on historical and comparative analysis, which allowed us to identify the relationship between architectural solutions and social demands. The results obtained can be useful for the development of modern residential complexes focused on the balance of personal and public, environmental friendliness and social integration.

The article analyzes the interaction between historical buildings and new architectural solutions in the context of developing cities with rich cultural heritage. Particular attention is paid to successful examples of integrating new elements into the historical environment, harmoniously coexisting different time layers of the urban fabric. The role of architects and urban planners in preserving cultural heritage is considered, with an emphasis on the importance of their approaches to restoring and adapting historical buildings to modern standards and technologies. It examines how new projects aimed at maintaining the city's identity can contribute to improving the quality of life and creating a sustainable urban environment. Among such projects, the following stand out: the Center in Kudykina Gora Park, the Port Administration Building in Antwerp, and others, which are striking examples of a successful combination of innovative solutions and preserving the historical context. Based on the theoretical and practical approaches proposed in this area, the article emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between preserving the historical appearance and introducing new technologies, which is becoming an important factor in the sustainable development of cities.

The article is devoted to the problem of architectural expressiveness in the latest professional practice and the analysis of possible alternatives for the so-called "architecture of spectacle" or "wow-architecture". The directions are considered in which architects strive to give their works meaning not so much due to impressive form, but due to inclusion in various conceptual systems. Such systemic ideas are virtue and ethics, environmental context and memory, functionality and pragmatism. Interpretations of these concepts in the work of various modern architects are shown.

The article describes a number of examples of successfully landscaped spaces and draws attention to underdeveloped routes that require improvement. The novelty lies in highlighting the features of Samara's transit spaces as a significant element of urban infrastructure, as well as in analyzing specific examples, including both successful implementations and those that require improvement. The study emphasizes the importance of adapting architectural solutions to the current needs of users, which requires the involvement of professionals in the field of urban planning and architecture.

The lighthouse system appeared in Russia more than three hundred years ago. Lighthouses became symbols of Russian navigation, forming an image of romance, unity with nature and, at the same time, technical power. Due to the development of high-tech navigation tools, lighthouses have lost their practical significance and are currently under threat of loss. The study summarizes the available information on some lighthouses in Russia, on the assessment of their technical condition. Natural and anthropogenic factors influencing the destruction of lighthouses, as well as the main restoration problems associated with them, were considered. The relevance of the restoration of lighthouse structures was also substantiated. Their importance as cultural heritage sites and tourist attractions was emphasized.

The article considers the methods of creating lighting comfort in the premises of buildings of various purposes. Three methods of providing the required standard level of illumination with natural light have been identified: using lateral, upper or combined lighting of premises. The solution to the problem of creating a comfortable living environment in terms of lighting is associated with the choice of the type, size and location of openings. Various design options for panoramic facade glazing are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of each type of glazing are analyzed. Conclusions are formulated on the relevance of creating translucent structures of facade systems that affect the aesthetic, functional and energy characteristics of buildings. It is noted that a competent choice of the design and technology of glazing a building will emphasize its uniqueness and beauty.
