Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the architecture of residential buildings in the city of Changchun. It considers the changes in the construction technology and the style of the facilities under construction expressed in adaptation to local climatic conditions and interaction with European architectural traditions. The article examines the features of architecture that arose as a result of the mixing of Japanese and European styles, as well as the spatial perception of Chinese traditional architecture. The impact of these changes on the development of residential buildings has been determined.
