Constructive and Essential Characteristics, Economic Advantages and Possible Challenges of Using Adaptive Architecture in Modern Urban Planning

Abstract

The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the constructive and essential characteristics of adaptive architecture. The study identifies the economic advantages and possible challenges of using this methodological conception in modern urban planning. The authors examine in detail the key principles of adaptability, such as: the city as a living organism; flexibility and multifunctionality; renewability and interaction with the environment. This provides a deeper understanding of the conception of adaptability in architecture and its ability to respond dynamically to changing human and environmental needs. A thorough study of the economic benefits of adaptive architecture has been undertaken. Reduced running costs, extended building life, increased rental income and re- duced disposal costs are some of the significant benefits highlighted in the article. This demonstrates the significant economic potential of this approach. It also demonstrates its ability to ensure long-term efficiency and relevance. Furthermore, the study identifies and analyses in detail the potential economic challenges that may arise. Key difficulties are identified, such as high up-front costs, the need for specialist skills and the uncertainty of future changes. This makes it pos- sible to provide a comprehensive assessment of the economic risks and challenges that may be faced in the use of an adaptive architecture. A comprehensive set of recommendations aimed at optimising costs, developing human resources, increasing the predictability of change, introducing innovation and strengthening collaboration with stakeholders are developed to address these challenges. These practical tools provide effective ways to ensure the successful implementation of adaptive projects. Overall, the study shows that provided existing economic challenges are fully addressed, adaptive architecture has significant potential to create more sustainable, efficient and resilient urban spaces. Further research in this area, as well as the development of effective implementation strategies, will be key to the promotion of adaptive architecture in urban planning practice.
