Abstract

The article introduces the concept of a complex crisis. Unlike local crises, a complex one is global in nature and affects all significant areas of life – the economy, politics, epidemiology, demography, and so on. The events of the sixteenth century A.D. are given as an example of the complex crisis. It is shown that in the field of architecture and construction, the complex crisis can cause both stagnation and regression, as well as rapid progress and the emergence of bright talents. The assumption is made that the positive results of the crisis are associated with the willingness to accept innovations and follow them.
