Sustainability assessment of residential building architecture in terms of Nikos A. Salingaros’s criteria

Modern ‘sustainable’ architecture requires clear criteria for the comprehensive assessment of its forms. An American theorist N. A. Salingaros deduced a number of laws governing the creation of a stable and adaptive architectural form that follows the structure of natural forms. These patterns serve as the basis for the authors of the article to derive criteria for evaluating architectural objects. The criteria are framed in the system, the testing of which was carried out in the analysis of residential complexes of the city of Yekaterinburg in 2010-2020.
