Архитектурная концепция экопоселения в Челябинской области

Abstract

The aim was to develop an architectural concept of an ecovillage in the Chelyabinsk region, which meets the requirements of ecologization of the living environment. The concept is described at the 3 levels: the general layout, architectural structure and operation. A multifaceted approach was used to examine the background information, including regulatory documentation. A comparative analysis of the existing settlements and architectural structures approved for implementation was conducted. Technologies of energy-efficient architecture, urban and spatial planning, alternative energy sources were used. Foreign modern settlements and their domestic equivalents, as well as energy-efficient low-rise residential apartment buildings, were considered. The city-planning conditions of the design area, its planning constraints and climate references were described. A project proposal for the devel-oped architectural concept of an ecovillage includes urban planning site surveys, as well as an archi-tectural planning and engineering development of detached and multi-apartment residential buildings that meet the requirements of energy performance and environmental friendliness. The location of a local wind power plant was determined based on an assessment of the wind availability of wind-powered generators using the methods of computational fluid dynamics. Thus, the study demonstrates the applicability of the research findings in the development of an architectural concept of an ecovil-lage in the Chelyabinsk region in light of international best practice in ecological architecture design.
