We explore the philosophy and the architectural aesthetic canons of "computational" architecture, a new architectural typology that includes specific infrastructure facilities filled with advanced technologies and equipment for the functioning of the digital environment in modern megacities and "smart city" concept implementations. The article defines the term "computing architecture", which means data processing centers (data centers) integrated into the urban environment, infrastructure for robotic urban service systems and high-speed communication networks.
We have formulated the key canonical qualities and features of "computational" architecture that served as a basis for suggesting architectural solutions and principles allowing such infrastructure to be harmoniously fit into an urban space.
The architectural and aesthetic system proposed for "computational architecture" sets out a promising direction for the humanistic and sustainable development of modern urban space and contributes to improving the citizens’ quality of life through tactful and environmentally friendly integration into a modern high-tech city.

Features of optimization of parametric translucent structures of public building

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (93) March, 2026

The article is devoted to the study of optimization processes of translucent structures in the parametric architecture of public buildings. The research examines the transition from algorithmically generated forms to rational structural and design systems. Based on the analysis of contemporary projects and scientific publications, the paper identifies key aspects of optimization, including tectonic expression, technological limitations of materials, energy efficiency and the semantic relationship between the form and the function of a building. It is shown that effective optimization is possible only through the synthesis of computational methods and traditional architectural principles at all stages of the design process.
