Gradually, in a number of design proposals for the development of individual small and large populated places of the Far North, various authors came to the idea of organizing populated places with an artificial or controlled microclimate. In this case, residential buildings are adjacent to covered communications and thus provides direct connection with service institutions, places of rest, etc. p. Residential buildings in a system of populated places with a controlled microclimate can have various voluminous and planning solutions, but now you can distinguish two main areas that in the near future will be able to get a practical embodiment.
The first of these areas is characterized by a comprehensive decision of the home, the organization of primary services and recreation of the population. These are the so -called houses with covered courtyards, where areas for games and relaxation are located and where artificial landscaping is possible. Around the courtyard, residential buildings are usually located mainly in 4-5 floors, and the first floor is assigned to primary service institutions.
All projects of this kind are interesting in their solution and can find practical application. However, a lot in them should be previously tested in experimentally.
In particular, it should be said that the main difficulties arise precisely because of the covered courtyard, which significantly increases the width of the building. This complicates the construction of buildings in places with the preservation of the eternal -free state of soils. In addition, the cubature of the house increases prohibitively, the insolation and illumination of the premises going inside the courtyard worsens, the ventilation and heating systems are extremely complicated, the risk of moisture condensation on the coating of the courtyard, etc. D.
