Abstract
The problem of building security in the case of different terrorist acts, including drone attacks, is rather relevant today. The article considers the architectural protection of facades and external building elements from this threat as well as building volume-planning structure to ensure the maximum protection of people in buildings. This problem is especially important to strike a balance between actual and perceived security, not designing a medieval fortress, but taking possible risks and terrorist threats into account.
Methodology: Investigation of existing risks and threats to buildings and people in them during an attack, comparative analysis of regulatory documents on anti-terrorist protection in Russia and abroad, the analysis of existing building protection techniques through the architecture and environmental design and their systematization based on the structural-typological method.
Research findings: Comparative tables based on the materials reviewed. Analytical materials include the building model description and architectural tools used to protect buildings.
Value: Indicates is the importance of safety requirements at all stages of the building life cycle, from design to operation and possible renovation to meet the increased protection requirements.
