The main purpose of the study is development of theoretical models of youth leisure institutions that would take into account different architectural features and characteristics of youth leisure activities. The study identifies aspects that influence the main types of models, namely, social, functional, and typological ones. The analysis of the mutual influence of different types of models allowed forming complex theoretical models based on the main group of visitors: teenage, youth, for older youth, youth of different ages. Also, there have been identified four levels of implementation of models that are related to the level of service and spatial-planning features of the institution. Thus, depending on the level, each model has its own functional embodiment presented in the form of simplified and idealized functional planning schemes.
