Updating the internal structure of living space for arctic conditions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to draw attention to the environmental problems of active development of the Arctic territories and to determine the specification of the necessary functional zones and conditions of comfortable living space for the harsh Arctic conditions. The study summarized the problems and threats of specially protected natural areas - the “Russian Arctic” national park. The aspects for modern town planning in extreme conditions of high latitudes are concretized during the process of analyzing historical examples of the formation of “Ideal cities”, conceptual projects of “Cities of the future”. The essential town planning and spatial-planning miscalculations of existing shift villages of the North of Russia are revealed. The requirements to modern Arctic architecture for comfortable living in the conditions of the Far North are grouped and defined. As a result of the study, the actual composition of the main, auxiliary and technical premises necessary for the life activity of the Arctic module of temporary residence of the XXI century is presented. The value of the results lies in the formation of the necessary requirements for designing of a comfortable living space in Arctic conditions and the real possibility of using principles of functional structuring for the creation of space-planning, ecologically balanced environment of stand-alone module of temporary residence on the specially protected territory of “Russian Arctic” national park.
