Abstract

The article examines the evolution and current trends in the architectural design of innovative research centers (IRCs) with an emphasis on the analysis of world experience and the outline of future prospects. The purpose of the study is to summarize the historical development of architectural and planning solutions for innovative research centers (IRCs) in world practice and to identify the prospects for their design in the country. The main stages of the experience of designing innovative research centers are identified, which involves the transformation of the architecture of the facility. The formation of full-fledged innovative hubs is considered, which requires the analysis of foreign experience at the stages of the evolution of innovation centers, as well as new architectural solutions. An innovative facility is studied, in which the functions of science, production and communication are combined within a single architectural space. Methodology. The influence of socio-economic, technological and cultural factors on the formation of the spatial organization of innovative research centers is revealed from the beginning of the 19th century to the prospects of the architecture of the future. Stylistic transformations are analyzed – from neoclassicism to modernism and to parametric and biomorphic architecture. The generalization of historical and existing experience will provide materials for further research at the present stage. Understanding the mechanisms of spatial organization and predicting future development prospects will improve the historical analysis of the evolution of innovative research centers. Results. Modern trends are summarized as: sustainable development, digitalization, integration with the urban environment, flexibility and interdisciplinarity. The future of such centers lies in hybrid, smart and modular typologies that promote open innovation, collaboration and resilience to global challenges such as climate change and digitalization. Scientific novelty. The relationship between the architectural ideas of innovative research centers and certain historical stages of scientific and technological development is arranged. Practical relevance. The directions of prospective design of innovation centers in the conditions of climate change, urbanization, the current situation in the country and the dynamics of scientific research are determined.
