Abstract

Abstract In Russia there is an impressive fund of Soviet heritage objects of cultural and leisure activities of population. The most massive construction of club establishments was in the 1960s-70s in the USSR. Today the cultural houses in Russia are undergoing dramatic changes. Not all existing buildings are of architectural value, while they are often structurally safe, proved their value in practical operation and continue to maintain a working condition, but they are outmoded and in need of reconstruction in different ways. It is found that when carrying out measures for the reconstruction of cultural houses, it is necessary to provide an expanded functional composition of premises for the organization of the leisure of population in accordance with modern requirements. Moreover the reconstruction of existing buildings requires taking into account many factors associated with the increase in loads on foundations, increase in the intensity of use of adjacent territories, work in the space-limited conditions of a construction site and need to modernize engineering communications. The most important are engineering and technical measures related to the examination of the technical condition of the supporting structures, identification of the actual design scheme of the inspected structural element, actual loads and effects to carry out measures to strengthen structures. However, the modernization of the audience halls as the main compositional and space-planning elements of cultural, leisure and entertainment buildings seems is especially important.
