ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS FOR AGRO-INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS AND WAYS OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA
The article examines agro-industrial complexes (AIC) from the point of view of their spatial organizational structure, as well as the modern technological and architectural solutions used in them. Within the framework of the article, several existing projects on the territory of Russia are highlighted and the concepts that are at the stage of implementation or development also described. The technological process of growing and processing agricultural crops, the composition of objects on the territory and their functional purpose and methods of reducing the impact of production facilities on the environment, if any, are described. Examples of foreign the agro-industrial complexes located in climatic conditions similar to Russia are given. The applied schemes for the formation of a volumetric-spatial composition from greenhouses, workshops and factory buildings, as well as the technological solutions used there, are considered. Particularly highlighted are the elements of sustainable architecture integrated into projects, their quantity and efficiency, as well as the volume of the harvest produced per year and the area that was required for this. It also provides examples of agro-industrial complexes located in other climatic zones, for example, in arid regions, and complexes that specialize in the production of other crops. Special attention is paid to modern cultivation technologies, including more efficient use of aquaponics. It is shown now new technologies greatly affect the economy of cities, people, architecture and transport, The article reveals the fundamental differences between domestic and foreign practice, and also presents possible options for the development of this direction of agricultural associations in Russia. The popularization of agro-industrial urbanism and cluster construction will allow the design of efficient, environmentally sustainable buildings and structures that will increase the volume of raw materials produced and reduce the impact of factory development on the environment. All this will create a positive image of Russia in the field of environmental preservation and the development of domestic agriculture.
