The problem of preservation, and optimal demonstration of it to local residents and tourists of architectural monuments, is of constant scientific and public interest. Two concepts coexist in dialectical interaction: conservation to preserve the monument in the form in which it has come down to in our times, and restoration of the monument with the restoration of lost details. In each case, one or another decision is made, which finds both supporters and opponents. One of the aspects of this problem is the attitude to buildings that have long breaks in the history of conduct in their construction works. An interesting example of such a monument is the mausoleum-khanaka of Ahmed Yassawi in Turkestan, which remains unfinished. Given its importance for the self-determination of the culture of modern Kazakhstan, it seems appropriate to consider the planned design, which remains unrealized. For the first time, the article suggests, by way of discussion, several options proposed by the authors for solving the main facade of the mausoleum-khanaka and the shape of the central dome.

The need for a relatively quick solution to the problem of providing highways with roadside service facilities necessitates the development of a series of appropriate standard projects. To increase the efficiency of these series, it is advisable to carry out the interconnection of space-planning solutions based on a particular module. Taking into account the variety of planning and landscape characteristics of the sites for the placement of objects of the mainline service, it seems advisable to choose as a module not a square or rectangular, but a triangular configuration, which allows in most cases to harmoniously block the modules. The proposed roof module in the form of a “regular” triangle facing the tetrahedron has a structural basis in the form of a single-tier rod spatial plate. The principal space-planning solutions of all four dozen objects from the approved nomenclature of the mainline service performed in the process of analyzing the possibilities show the real possibility of solving the development tasks on the basis of this system. The use of the proposed modular system makes it possible to successfully solve a number of tasks to reduce the harmful impact on the environment and effectively use renewable energy sources. The work is devoted specifically to the field of design.

Urban residents and especially children have limited contact with nature and are not sufficiently informed about the main problems of its protection and preservation. One of the aspects of increasing the environmental awareness of urban children is to familiarize them with the specifics of agricultural production. A significant problem in organizing agricultural-themed children’s gaming complexes is the creation of an appropriate infrastructure for exhibiting natural and agricultural processes and servicing visitors. One of the possible solutions to this problem is the use of used sea containers for facilities of educational and gaming infrastructure. An important characteristic of such containers is the ability to use them both individually and in various quantitative and combinatorial ways, forming the buildings necessary for exhibiting and servicing. The use of combined container groups makes it possible to organize appropriate temporary or permanent educational and gaming complexes in free territories within cities or suburbs, bringing them as close to consumers as possible. The children’s educational and game complex with agricultural themes is a set of organizationally and spatially interconnected buildings and structures that ensure the display of agricultural production processes based on the active participation of visitors.

Своеобразная политико-экономическая ситуация начала 1990-х годов в Казахстане вызвала некоторое замедление ранее достаточно высоких темпов массового строительства жилья и общественных зданий. Номенклатура субъектов проектной деятельности, ранее состоявшая преимущественно только из крупных проектных институтов различной степени специализации, пополнилась существенно потеснившими их и занявшими значительный сектор рынка многочисленными проектными и проектно-строительными фирмами, а также персональны­ми творческими мастерскими и индивидуальными проек­тировщиками, берущимися практически за типологически любой объект. Практически исчезло массовое типовое проектирование и строительство. Важнейшей образной характеристикой архитектуры Казахстанана рубеже веков стала своего рода полистилич- ность. В одну из характерных черт городской среды превратилась активная трансформация первых этажей. Существенно обновилась типология городской застройки. Резко расширилась, а в большинстве мест стала новым массовым явлением практика мемориального и особенно разноконфессионального культового строительства. Важным аспектом стало освоение значительно расши­рившегося ассортимента конструкционных и особенно от­делочных материалов и изделий, а также решение проблемы их совместимости с широко распространёнными. Значимой чертой архитектуры этапа стало, определённое этим массо­вое использование многоцветных сочетаний, включающих и очень насыщенные тона. Отражая эти процессы, казахстанская архитектура со­временного периода демонстрирует широкие возможности как единовременного комплексного формирования отдель­ных участков среды жизнедеятельности «под ключ», так и последовательного «вживления» отдельных элементов в складывающийся средовой контекст. Обретение государственной независимости Казахстаном активизировало и процессы архитектурной самоидентифи­кации, имевшие многовекторную направленность.
