Modern trends in the formation of sports and recreational complexes

Today, in the context of the demographic and environmental crisis in Ukraine caused by military actions, it is extremely important to consider the trend of formation of sports infrastructure facilities as those subjects of the urban recreational network that will take the main position in the post-war period in the task of rehabilitation of the population. The nature of the urban structure makes us look at the modern sports complex as an integrated entity of the general recreational network. As a result, the problem of interconnection of the sports function with other functions in the structure of a single multifunctional complex is becoming more relevant. The article highlights the problems of formation of sports and recreational complexes in modern conditions. The factors that influence the modification of the form of SRC and the vectors of further development of the typology of this type of buildings and structures are identified. The design of sports infrastructure facilities should include a generalisation of modern experience and the application of the method of prospective analysis to determine trends in the development of the form of the SRC. This involves analysing current needs and forecasting future requirements for sports and recreational facilities, taking into account changes in public attitudes, demographic trends and the impact of technological innovations. The study is based on a systematic approach where sports and recreational complexes are considered as an element of the socio-cultural space. The use of a holistic architectural approach involved the application of methods for generalising modern experience in the design of facilities of this type and the method of prospective analysis, which will help to identify trends in the development of the form of sports and recreation complexes. The results of the study can be used to develop and adjust the existing architectural research base and the strategy for the reconstruction of Ukraine. They will contribute to the creation of an effective, modern and sustainable sports infrastructure in modern Ukrainian cities.
