The development of fitness centre architecture: Integration of modern trends and conventional approaches
Abstract
This study is concerned with the analysis of fitness centre architecture, with a particular focus on the integration of modern technologies with traditional design approaches. The objective was to examine the impact of contemporary architectural trends and technologies, including Building Information Modeling and artificial intelligence, on spatial solutions, functionality, and sustainability in the context of fitness centres. A comparative analysis was conducted between historical examples of Soviet-era sports complexes, which were imbued with ideological significance, and modern fitness centres, which are oriented towards the comfort and individual needs of users. The findings demonstrate that the process of globalisation has exerted a considerable influence on the standardisation of fitness centre design, frequently resulting in the erosion of national architectural characteristics. However, innovative approaches, such as the use of environmentally friendly materials and the integration of energy-efficient technologies, have been identified as pivotal to the development of modern fitness centres that are aligned with the needs of urban spaces. Based on an analysis of trends in various countries, recommendations were made for the creation of inclusive, eco-friendly, and innovative training spaces that support both social integration and individual goals. This study makes a significant contribution to architectural practice by offering ways to improve the efficiency of fitness centres through the use of modern technologies, the preservation of local cultural features, and the creation of comfortable environments for all visitors
