Formation of the architectural environment of food facilities based on an ecological approach

Abstract

In the article, the questions of the formation of the architectural environment are considered based on a survey based on the use of an ecological approach. This approach is one of the current trends in the development of modern architecture. The purpose of the article is to highlight methods of interaction of food objects with the natural environment. The importance of forming a new network of food facilities in the structure of the city was noted. This network must meet the requirements of the present. The formation of a network is a feature of the modern development of public catering facilities. This is subject to strict standardization and is reflected in the conceptual strategy of the institution. Today, the following types of catering facilities are highlighted: location in the city center; in the sleeping area of the city; outside the city; on highways; in recreational areas; on transport and pedestrian paths; in reconstruction conditions. In addition, new types are actively forming: placement of mobile food facilities and non-standard location. Today, the use of an ecological approach in the design of food establishments is the most relevant and in demand. Selected methods of interaction of food objects with the natural environment. These techniques include integration with vegetation, water, terrain, and polarization. The role of the phytoenvironment as an important component of the architectural solution of food facilities is noted. Phytoenvironment is formed on the basis of landscape design tools. Thus, at the present stage there is a need for a critical analysis of the aspects of the formation of the architectural environment of public housing facilities, the improvement of the network and their location in the structure of the city. This should be done taking into account new socio-economic and cultural factors. The use of an ecological approach in the design of institutions is a relevant component of the formation of the architecture of these objects.
