The risks of triviality in the architecture of modern residential complexes (in the example of Astana)

Abstract

In recent decades, there has been an active construction of new buildings in Kazakhstan. The objects being built have a different play of volumes and shapes. Development activity dictates modern trends in the field of architectural and planning solutions of buildings. But not all trends are positive. The purpose of the article is to analyze the risks of the trend of triviality in modern architecture of Kazakhstan, in particular the trend of simplification of spatial solutions of buildings, as well as the influence of the developer on the development of triviality of architecture in general. In addition to the above, the study reflects the conditions and factors influencing the emergence of simple block forms in the volume of the structure of modern architecture in Kazakhstan. The study is based on the analysis of the emergence of triviality in the architecture of the USSR in the middle of the twentieth century, on a full-scale study of the modern architecture of residential buildings in Astana and modeling the formation of a three-dimensional solution of residential complexes. The results show that the process of triviality in the architecture of buildings is caused by the following factors: development activities, aggressive marketing and economic conditions.
