The article is devoted to the study of curves that are not representable by the intersection of two surfaces. In modern architectural practice, they very often depart from classical forms, replacing them with complex surfaces. Recently, there has been the development of such an architectural style as architectural bionics or bio-tech. Faced with the challenges of sustainable development and its impact on the environment, the construction sector faces the necessary need for innovation. Architecture is presented as one of the promising areas of knowledge use based on biological research. And it is able to respond to current environmental problems. Indeed, many species of animals and plants know how to apply adaptation strategies to the environment and its transformations, forming together with it a sustainable ecosystem. Technological advances in very small-scale observation allow for deeper knowledge of how nature works and offer a new source of knowledge and inspiration for architecture.

The exploited roof is intended for use, for example, as a recreation area, sports grounds, landscaping, parking lots, etc. It is proposed to compensate for the shortage of urban areas and the high cost of land within the city by using the concept of vertical construction expansion. The lack of free open space limits the ability to accommodate the necessary infrastructure to serve the growing number of residents and reduces the level of comfort for living. The article presents the results of a comparative study of technologies for the installation of operated roofs, arranged with a traditional and inverse arrangement of a waterproofing carpet and thermal insulation. As a result of the study, the technological advantages of the installation of an inverted exploitable roof intended for landscaping are shown. The labour intensity of technological operations and the duration of work when installing a green roof using inversion technology is 19.5% lower compared to the traditional one.

The article proposes a technique for optimizing trihedral lattice tower structures according to the criterion of minimum mass, taking into account limitations in strength, ultimate slenderness of elements, stability, and the absence of resonant vortex excitation. A lattice tower with a cross section of elements in the form of round pipes, consisting of two sections, is considered. The variable parameters are the width of the tower, the height of the lower section, the outer diameters of the cross-section of the chords and gratings, the number of panels in the lower and upper sections. The solution of the nonlinear optimization problem is performed in the MATLAB environment using the Global Optimization Toolbox package. Determination of forces in the tower and frequencies of natural oscillations is performed by the finite element method using the subroutine for MATLAB developed by the authors. The influences on the tower are ice and wind loads, the dead weight of the tower, as well as the weight of the equipment. When calculating the effect of wind, the pulsation component is taken into account. The surrogate optimization method is used to solve the nonlinear optimization problem. In the initial approximation, the mass of the tower was 2 tons. As a result of optimization, the mass was reduced by more than 2 times.

The regulation of the stress-strain state of the floor slab is considered in order to choose the optimal design solution for the frame of a unique building. Three variants of design solutions with varying reinforcement of the plate and cross sections of the vertical elements of the frame are proposed. The numerical experiment was performed by the finite element method using the Lira-CAD software package. To improve the accuracy of the results obtained, calculations were made taking into account the nonlinear operation of materials. The computational model of the floor slab includes physically nonlinear shell finite elements. Nonlinear loading was modeled taking into account the creep of concrete. Based on the results of the calculations, the analysis of the deflections of the floor slab and the consumption of materials was performed. The numerical experiment allowed us to propose an optimal design solution for the frame of a unique building.

Energy saving and energy efficiency is one of the priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation and, in particular, the Stavropol Territory. This article analyzes the current state of energy efficiency of construction facilities in the Stavropol Territory. There is a discrepancy between the technical condition and functional and consumer qualities of industrial and civil buildings to the current thermal engineering standards. From this point of view, the chosen research topic may be very timely and relevant. The problem of increasing energy efficiency depends on solving the issue of energy saving in the design, construction and operation of buildings. Saving energy consumption is one of the most important tasks in the construction, reconstruction and operation of buildings and structures of the Stavropol Territory. The article presents regulatory sources used for analysis and recommendations on energy efficiency of buildings. The conditions for carrying out measures to improve energy efficiency in the cities of the Stavropol Territory are analyzed, cities that have received significant savings due to the introduction of energy-efficient measures are highlighted.

The process of optimizing the applied sections in steel frames with elements of variable stiffness, formed from rolled I-beams by their diagonal dissolution and subsequent welding, is considered. A table with groups of I-beams according to GOST R 57837-2017 is proposed, which are advisable to be used together to form a monosymmetrical I-beam of variable height. An algorithm for finding the optimal section is proposed, taking into account the discreteness of the assortment. The calculation of a typical building structure code 828KM according to the proposed algorithm is carried out and a comparative analysis of the applied sections with the found optimized sections is presented. The possibility of obtaining a more economical supporting structure, both in terms of metal consumption and in terms of the cost of rolled products, is noted.

The unique building of the Center for Science and Art is modeled as a variant of the complex development of the territory of the old hippodrome in Rostov-on-Don. The analysis of the formation of vertical external communication parametric structures for a spherical object is performed. Based on the results of the consideration of ten forms, a rational form of "Turban" was determined, which retains a constant comfortable slope, and in emergency situations can go into autonomous mode while maintaining the rigidity of the structure. Visualization of the object's integration into the urban environment was carried out in Rhino 3D using the Grasshopper visual programming language program. By combining specialized years, modeling of roads and the volumetric geometry of buildings, the object of study, zoning and reading information from the surrounding area was carried out. The resulting model allows us to evaluate the aesthetics and comfort of the urban environment in the case of construction of a new facility.
