The architecture of multifunctional residential complexes (MFRC) is considered in the aspect of “resistance” to external factors and influences. There are four levels of formation of the MFRK: the level of urban planning structure; level of volumetric-spatial organization; level of functional and architectural planning structure; the level of compositional organization and search for the expressive appearance of the MFRK. At each of the identified levels, the “target” indicators of “sustainable architecture” are achieved. The process of forming the MFRC is considered as a sequence of combinatorial search stages and procedures based on modeling the geometric parameters of the visual model of the MFRC in order to get as close as possible to the “stability indicator”. Four methods of combinatorial search modeling are proposed: the method of “overlaying” planning frames; method of “tracing” the formative contour; method of “collaging” functional planning elements; a method of combining “regular grids” in the public, business and residential parts of the MFRK. To intensify combinatorial search procedures, it is proposed to use digital design technologies.

The article considers foreign examples of sustainable and regenerative architecture of multifunctional residential complexes. The purpose of the research is to identify promising trends, innovative approaches and distinctive features of each of the directions. Their main innovative solutions, advantages and disadvantages are revealed. A comparative assessment of both directions was carried out. As a result of the research, the continuity of the principles from sustainable architecture to regenerative architecture was revealed. The distinctive features of the latter are the practice of "replenishing" the environment and a larger scale of intervention. Interventions may include biomimicry to simulate nature, air purification in buildings, water purification structures or carbon-trapping architecture, etc. Shifting the emphasis from a sustainable architecture to a regenerative one will allow us to develop a more effective strategy for solving climate and biodiversity problems that society suffers from today.
