Household architecture in Russia is distinguished by square-nested methods of building urban areas. In most cases, multi-storey residential buildings in such neighborhoods were serially built. Since the period of existence of the USSR, Russian inhabitants use terms such as "gostinki", "stalinka", "brezhnevka" and "Khrushchev" to determine the type of apartments. However, in accordance with the special terminology of architecture, certain names of typical series of residential buildings are distinguished.
At the end of the forties of the last century, the history of the domestic construction of serial residential buildings began. And already in the fifties, the first series of residential high-rise buildings began to be built in droves.
Building groups
The series of houses are groups of residential buildings that are similar to each other, not only in appearance, but also in the apartment layout and even the raw materials that were used for construction. The layout in buildings with a large number of apartments is called typical. The types of high-rise buildings differ in their series, date of construction and materials for construction and decoration. In most cases, reinforced concrete blocks, panels, monolithic reinforced concrete, and bricks were used for the construction of walls in typical houses. However, there are also combined apartment buildings, which were built from several of the listed materials.
Typical transformation
All typical multi-storey buildings can be conditionally divided into several stages of construction. The first period includes the serial construction of Stalinist houses from the beginning of the middle of the last century. The buildings of this time are distinguished by a number of characteristics - the height of the ceilings, thick walls made of material such as brick, as well as an excellent apartment layout.
The next period affects 1957-1962, when multi-apartment five-storey residential buildings from panels began to be serially built in large metropolitan areas. Such apartments are called "Khrushchevs" among Russian people and have distinctive features in the form of thin walls, unsuccessful layouts of living quarters and low ceilings.
The third period covers mid-1963 and early 1970. During this period, the first residential buildings of nine floors began to be built, the difference from the five-story buildings can only be called the increased area of housing and the number of storeys.
The fourth period is the mid-1970s and early 1990s. Residential buildings of multi-storey type, built during this period of time, were called "late brezhnevok" among the Russian population. Here one can single out more successful apartment layouts that have been subject to modernization.
The last period covers the end of 1990 and continues to the present day. Houses of modern times differ from other serial residential buildings in that architects try to add some individual characteristics to them, as well as diversify the layout. Panels are most often abandoned in favor of a monolith and numerous internal partitions in apartments, such curtain walls can be dismantled and moved.
