Abstract
The article is devoted to the formal and semantic unity of architecture and its natural environment. The author considers the Palladian landscape as a harmonious combination of elements dating back to the architecture of the late Renaissance, to the work of Andrea Palladio. The study identifies examples of the use of compositional techniques to create an artistic and symbolic unity of the building and landscape space, natural or man-made. The Italian experience of the Renaissance is projected onto the evolution of the building art of Modern and Contemporary times. The environment of the monument is understood as cultural heritage. The problems of preserving urban clusters, as well as suburban and rural areas of historical and cultural value, are outlined. The utilitarian nature of the use of «free spaces» during compacted development, which destroys the optical connections of historical locations, which must be preserved to achieve visual effects in the process of comprehending the aesthetic and semiotic essence of architectural heritage objects, is revealed.
