This comprehensive study is aimed primarily at determining the features of the formation and development of shopping and fairgrounds in the context of the principles of continuity of the architectural and planning structure of cities. The identification of the main city-forming factor in various historical periods in this work is a fundamental and necessary stage of analysis. The relevance of this study is due to the need for a comprehensive reconstruction of citywide spaces formed initially as retail areas in the historical core of cities. The article considers the features of the layout and development of shopping and fairgrounds in such cities of the Lower Don and Azov region as Rostov-on-Don, Taganrog and Nakhichevan-on-Don in the period from the middle of the XVIII to the beginning of the XX centuries. The influence of economic and general political processes that took place in the country on the development of trade in the region and, consequently, on the definition of trade as the main functional specifics of the studied cities is studied. The role of retail spaces in the structure of master plans at various stages of urban development is determined. The main elements of the development of retail areas in various historical periods are revealed. The interrelation of the functional significance of squares with their shape, location relative to the main thoroughfares and the original planning core of the city is established. Historically formed and preserved to this day, the main shopping areas in the cities of the Lower Don and the Azov region still remain significant citywide centers. The problem of complex reconstruction of retail areas located in the historical core of the city makes relevant research aimed at identifying the patterns of their formation and determining the features of development. Earlier, the author identified the main periods of architectural and planning evolution of the cities under consideration in the context of the designated object of research. Based on this periodization, a comprehensive analysis of various factors (historical, economic, socio-political, etc.) that influenced the appearance and architectural and planning development of shopping and fairgrounds in the structure of cities is carried out in this work. The following methods were also used in the course of the work: search, analysis and comparison of various graphic materials (diagrams, maps, master plans, project proposals, historical photographs, primary text documents); field surveys and photo fixation; classification and systematization of the results obtained.

The relevance of the study lies in the fact that historical areas of cities and individual buildings that are objects of historical and architectural heritage were once built on pile foundations. Until the beginning of the 20th century, wooden elements, usually up to 9.0 m long, were laid as piles at the base of buildings and structures, which over a long period of operation received defects and damage in the form of damage by soft rot up to the complete destruction of the heads. The purpose of the work is to study the stress-strain state of the pile foundation at successive stages of development of defects and damage. The work systematizes the results of examinations of wooden piles and other elements located in the ground for a long time; laboratory studies of the actual operation of piles in water-saturated silt-clay soils were carried out. The results of field and laboratory studies are included in the calculation apparatus implemented by the finite element method in an elastoplastic formulation. The authors showed the actual operation of pile foundations of historical and architectural heritage objects at successive stages of pile damage and obtained a calculation model at the stage of complete destruction of the pile heads. Laboratory and theoretical studies have shown that in the modern practice of preserving objects of historical and architectural heritage, there is a vicious practice, which consists in the fact that they often strengthen the foundations in cases where there is no need for this, and sometimes it is even harmful.

In this article, we delve into the contemporary identity of the mountainous region of North Ossetia, with a focus on its architectural and material framework. The architectural complex of North Ossetia is distinguished by its unique synthesis of four architectural fabrics or layers, each representing an architectural expression of its respective historical epoch. These architectural layers reflect the rich heritage and historical roots of the region, spanning from ancient times to the present day. Analyzing these layers allows us to understand how various historical factors and cultural influences have shaped the architectural character of the mountainous terrain. Understanding this synthesis of architectural fabrics is a key element in preserving and maintaining the identity of this region and its architectural culture. This research aims to contribute to a deeper appreciation of this rich architectural heritage and its role in the modern world.
