Principles of the Inclusion Green Spaces in the Public Area of a Residential Building

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore modern solutions for the introduction of green spaces in the structure of residential buildings. The world practical experience is summarized, which has revealed three ways of external landscaping of buildings – a green roof, a green facade with climbing plants and a green wall. Two groups of public spaces in a residential building are also defined – open and closed, in which different types of landscaping can be used. Also, foreign experience shows the use of landscaping in transit, utility and technical spaces. The study reveals the main methods of introducing green spaces for residential buildings on the example of the city of Samara in the form of conceptual schemes. And also, generalization of the space-planning solutions of a residential building with the introduction of landscaping, allowed us to formulate the basic principles of designing green public spaces: the principle of transit landscaping, the principle of green zoning, the principle of green separation, the principle of green unification, the principle of double landscaping. It is determined that the world experience of the introduction of landscaping in the space of a residential building must be adapted to the Russian conditions. This, in turn, will increase both the ecological and aesthetic component, as well as ensure social interaction of residents and the comfort of living.
