The article highlights current trends in sustainable development in the architecture of public spaces. The conceptual principles of forming an environmentally and socially responsible architectural environment taking into account modern urban challenges are analyzed. Key aspects of the sustainability of architectural space are revealed: energy efficiency, the choice of environmentally safe materials, adaptability and flexibility of spatial scenarios, biophilic design and principles of social inclusion. Special attention is paid to the analysis of implemented objects that demonstrate the possibilities of integrating the principles of the circular economy, digital technologies, ecological material science and multisensory design into the structure of public spaces. Using the examples of the Circular Pavilion in Paris, the TECLA residential module in Italy, the reconstruction of the Aalto University library in Finland and the Forum Chriesbach in Switzerland, practical mechanisms for implementing sustainable architectural solutions are presented. Promising directions for further scientific exploration in the field of adaptive, resource-efficient and socially oriented architectural design are identified
