ANALYSIS OF THE FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN PLANNING FORMATION OF SPORTS AND LEISURE COMPLEXES

Abstract

Nowadays there is an urgent need for Ukrainians to meet the demands of quality, diversity and availability of sports services. Therefore, sports and leisure complexes, which are integrated into the urban infrastructure, act as interactive public spaces with tactile surfaces. Analysis of foreign practical experience in the formation of sports and leisure complexes demonstrates what it means to move around the city, breathe new life into abandoned places and how the architecture of modern life is changing. The countries of China, Russia, and Denmark were analyzed. This analysis showed that the typical objects for leisure activities are: 1) Squares, parking lots with integrated sports and leisure areas; 2) Separate specialized buildings of sports and leisure centers or centers of youth culture with different sports; 3) Open public spaces in parks, residential complexes, preschool education constructions, health centers. The analysis of the features of sports and leisure complexes formation in the territory of Ukraine allowed to reveal two groups. The first group consists of outdoor areas, which contain outdoor simulators or sports complex workout for trainings, both for professional athletes and amateurs. The second group of sports and leisure complexes contains "urban parks" as centers for the development of street culture, which has become a part of the state youth policy. The analysis of foreign and domestic practical experience of architectural and urban planning formation of sports and leisure complexes proved that there is an active implementation of the advanced world concepts related to a healthy lifestyle in Ukraine. At the same time, the design of sports and leisure complexes is at the stage of formation and requires the development of special methods, as well as research in terms of typological, structural-functional and planning analysis. Determination of the factors influencing the development of the studied objects and the principles of their formation is needed. This can be considered as the next stage of this research.
