Abstract
The article notes that in the 1950s and 1960s, Siberian regions required building designs adapted to everyday life and the harsh natural environment. It emphasizes that mass housing construction was in full swing in the country, so unique innovative projects were rarely implemented, and many bold approved designs were subject to revision and given way to standardized housing. The industrial goals of developing Siberia in the USSR in the 1960s increasingly gave way to socio-territorial objectives, which had a priority in determining the programs and direction of architectural development in Siberian cities. The article demonstrates that socio-demographic factors were primary and more differentiating than the extreme natural and climatic conditions. The goal of further developing Siberian residential architecture became the improvement of mass housing types at all levels of housing policy implementation.
