The article discusses the requirements for the structure of the City Planning Doctrine. It is shown that the doctrine, as a conceptual document, has the properties of the system that it describes. The doctrine should be constructed taking into account the principles of a hierarchical stratified system. The structure of the approved state doctrines, as well as the structure of the developed versions of the City Planning Doctrine, is considered.

The article examines the key development challenges of the Donbas polycentric agglomeration. It is shown that the greatest danger lies in the gradual loss of this agglomeration‘s polycentric character. A trend toward a gradual separation of the upper tier of Donbass cities from all other cities — small, medium, and large — is identified. This is particularly true for Donetsk, the central city of the agglomeration. The extrapolation analysis allows us to predict the timing and dynamics of this process. This process may result in the spatial fragmentation of the agglomeration into several monocentric and polycentric agglomerations. Two of the most likely spatial scenarios for such disintegration are presented. The necessary requirements for a future comprehensive model for optimizing the development of the Donbass polycentric agglomeration are formulated.

The scientific paper devotes to some issues, related to route planning of eVTOLs to extend catchment area of high-speed train stations along future line ‘Two capitals’ (VSZhM-1). The air transport development opens new capabilities for solving urban planning goals along with supplying and serving the population of remote settlements. The combination of two types of high-speed transport opens opportunities for practical implementation of the concept of ecological urbanism.

The article explores innovative engineering and architectural solutions for creating lunar bases suitable for long-term human habitation. Using the example of a lunar station architectural contest project, the article examines methods for adapting technologies to extreme conditions. One of these lava caves has been proposed as a suitable location for the habitable part of the station. Based on the biomorphic properties of the freshwater hydra — regeneration, plasticity, and modularity — the authors developed an architectural and engineering concept for a lunar station. Its principles are implemented in a linear-modular system that combines the autonomy of segments with the integration of surface infrastructure and a subsurface base in a lava cave. The authors describe four new basic architectural and engineering technologies: mechanized self-propelled autonomous habitable modules with increased cross-country capability.

The article raises the problem of the quality of presentation of the methodology for the preliminary calculation of the natural light coefficient in side lighting, described in SP 367.1325800.2017 (with amendments No. 2). Collisions are shown that prevent its correct understanding. Recommendations (textual and graphical) are given to correct the description of the calculation methodology in order to improve the accessibility of understanding by end users (architects).

This article evaluates the efficacy of numerical wind simulation as a superior alternative to standard code-based methods for assessing wind loads on complex structures. Conventional approaches, such as those outlined in SP 20.13330.2016, often struggle to accurately model the intricate flow fields and turbulence generated by non-standard geometries and the presence of adjacent buildings. This research employs high-fidelity transient CFD analysis to simulate these effects and provides a direct comparative assessment with code-derived results.

The presence of an unbalanced bending moment causes additional stresses in the slab-column connection, influencing the punching shear capacity of the slab. The punching shear design method, presented in the building code SP 63.13330.2018, does not account for several important factors that significantly influence on the bearing capacity of the slab. Therefore, improving the code-based method for calculating punching shear capacity of reinforced concrete slabs under the combined action of a concentrated force and an unbalanced bending moment is a relevant task. This paper presents a modification of the design method that reflects the main factors influencing the load-bearing capacity of the structure under punching shear and exhibits a higher degree of correlation with experimental results compared to the code-based method.

The analysis of the motif of the star in the painting of the Catalan artist Joan Miro (1893–1983) is carried out. It is revealed that during various periods Miro repeatedly used this motif in his work, so his plastic variations determined the specifics of the artist‘s painting development, where this motif received various plastic interpretations and integrated into different contexts of subjects. Conclusions are drawn about the plastic potential of the star motif, its increasing frequency, and the connection between medieval and modern Catalan J. Miro painting.

This article substantiates a methodology, tested by the authors, for collecting and analyzing data on user responses to the architectural, spatial, and environmental characteristics of courtyard locations (in Yekaterinburg). Its interdisciplinary methodological foundations are derived from environmental and systems approaches, taking into account the multiplicity of simultaneous human sensory responses to the environment and the dynamic nature of the environment itself. The research results can be used in the design of adaptive courtyards and public spaces.

This article reviews Michel Foucault’s concept of power-knowledge and its application to the analysis of constructivist buildings of some structures in the Uralmash sotsgorod. We attempt to compare avant-garde architecture, aimed at creating a new society, with the disciplinary practices that interested Foucault.
