The article examines the principles of sustainable development, which dictate new approaches and tools for the design of modern multifunctional family leisure centers in the conditions of a metropolis. The study is aimed at determining the approaches and principles that must be used in the modern architecture of family leisure centers in order to meet global demand and the requirements of sustainable development, which are guided by the UN and other world public organizations. The use of ecological and energy-saving means in the process of designing multifunctional family leisure centers, aimed at achieving the durability of buildings, reducing operating costs, reducing the cost of construction, influencing the awareness of the population about reducing the level of pollution, is based on ecological principles and careful management of natural resources and autonomy.
The new challenges of time and the high rhythm of life in cities require in the future an increase in the quality and number of recreation places, facilities for recovery and spending time together, namely multifunctional family leisure centers. Meanwhile, high standards and requirements for the design and architecture of new buildings, dictated by the principles of sustainable development, require new design, engineering, innovative solutions and approaches. The world began to change more rapidly in the last 30 years, and its population must quickly adapt to new conditions. At the same time, there are some things that do not change or change very little: the insolation of the sun, the speed of the wind, the physical characteristics of concrete and metal, and others.
Thus, architects can create buildings and projects using modern technologies, principles and tools of sustainable development, and as a result, these projects can be durable and can be called sustainable. There are many systems for assessing the sustainability of buildings around the world. In addition to the US Green Building Council, which administers the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Efficiency (LEED) system, there are other rating systems that have been developed to measure the level of sustainability of buildings and provide best practice experiences with the highest level of certification.
