The purpose of the article is to consider the phenomenon of nomadic lifestyle and its impact on the architectural environment in recent decades in the context of post-industrial society. To make a forecast of the development options for this phenomenon and possible methods of solution. Methods. To collect material, the author used a quantitative method to study statistical data. The qualitative method was used to observe changes in the environment and in the consciousness of the nomad. The comparative method was used to compare scientific material. Results. We have an old architectural structure designed for the society of the 20th century, where migrations have just begun to gain momentum and this structure is no longer suitable for the modern mobile lifestyle, it needs changes. Large cities have long been experiencing a crisis of internal and external migrations, starting with tourist and ending with labor. The structure of modern cities must respond more quickly to fleeting requests. The urban planning community must develop new mechanisms to meet the needs of millions of migrants. This migration phenomenon is caused not only by economic factors, but also by the fact that humanity has changed its perception of the world and attitude towards social ties. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the fact that it is written through the prism of the author’s personal experience of migration events and gives a unique perspective on this issue. This is also a rapidly changing phenomenon, new factors appear every month and the view on the problem that existed a year ago has already changed. The practical significance of this study is now precisely at the right time due to problems with migrants, structural changes in lifestyle due to the pandemic, climate change, war, etc. These issues should be addressed in an applied way. In conclusion, we have a forecast of further growth in migration and emerging issues for correct reflection on this trend.
