Abstract.
Based on the collected material, historically valuable architectural objects were identified that have lost their authentic appearance following reconstruction and restoration work involving various dominant elements (added floors, annexed volumes, and forms). The purpose of this study is to identification cultural heritage sites after reconstruction work that has changed the historical appearance of buildings and demonstrates the destruction of the unique morphology of cultural monuments through additions and extensions, which is a pressing issue. The study was conducted using the following architectural objects: a late 19th-century residential building at 4A Bolshaya Kazachya St., Saratov; the House of Johann Langelit-tie, Svetlanskaya and Kitayskaya St., Vladivostok; and the Delovoy Dvor Hotel, 6 Gazetny Lane, Omsk, all objects showing clear signs of losing their original, authorial image. An overview of several buildings dis-torted as a result of modernization is presented, and their characteristics are defined. The newly created structure clearly demonstrates the superiority of the new volume over the “old” in its appearance, visually representing signs of “parasitism” in architecture. The article attempts to characterize this emerging phe-nomenon and formulate definitions (“architectural parasitism”, “parasite” in architecture, “parasite ob-ject”) that reflect the essence of the phenomenon. The author, for the first time, attempts to define the cur-rent state of the architectural environment under the influence of “parasitization”, which constitutes the author’s contribution and scientific novelty. As a result of the work, a new concept in the scientific field, “architectural parasitism,” has been formulated, and a thesis has been proposed about creating a new con-cept in the living environment of architectural space.
