Genesis of adaptive residential structures under conditions of permafrost thaw

The article is devoted to the features of the evolutionary formation of adaptive residential structures located in the permafrost zone. Due to contemporary technological and social changes, the latest stage of adaptive structures in an extreme northern climate is designated. Current global risks include processes associated with the degradation of the permafrost landscape, affecting the regional housing stock. The purpose of this study is to identify the main stages of the typology of adaptive residential structures in the context of permafrost thawing. Using historical and genetic analysis within a system approach, the following stages of evolutionary development were established: archaic, pre-industrial, industrial, eco-sustainable, and meta-prognostic. Since the 1960s, the typology’s genesis has been characterized by bifurcation, with active formation in material developments and predictive searches. The current stage combines eco-sustainable approaches to creating a living environment in extreme conditions and synergy with virtual environments.
