Abstract
The article is devoted to buildings built by projects of the architectural bureau APEX in Moscow and identifies criteria of their uniqueness. Unique buildings stand out among others by their unique and innovative design solutions. Such buildings often become iconic objects reflecting modern trends in urban architecture. The paper considers two projects implemented by the APEX company, namely Red7 and Deluxe Residence on Savvinskaya, 27, created in cooperation with foreign architectural companies and can be referred to unique buildings. The relevance of the study is due to the active construction of large-scale original buildings and little study of their uniqueness criteria.
Methodology: Complex analysis and data systematization from the literature and the Internet, comparative analysis and creative synthesis for writing conclusions.
Research findings: It is shown that unique buildings play an important role in the development of urban environment, demonstrating advanced technologies and architectural solutions. They contribute to the environmental improvement, social significance and quality of life, become symbols of progress and innovation.
Practical implications: The obtained results can be used to prepare conference reports, study architectural objects and justifying their uniqueness.
