ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN PLANNING ASPECTS OF THE MANDALA

Abstract

Problem statement. In the history of urban planning over the past 150−200 years, the historical continuity of the uniquely deep architectural and urban planning knowledge developed by generations of architects of the planet has disappeared. As a result, buildings and structures began to be created as formal-pragmatic objects opposing the objective laws of astroplanetary exchange connections, the spatio-temporal matrix of functioning has always been the basis for the construction of various objects in culture all peoples and civilizations of the past without exception. The energy-informational surface of the continents was destroyed. Under the cities, the so-called “black noise” arose − a harbinger of planetary and regional natural disasters that appear in places of power lines destruction of exchange links between the planet Earth and the Great Cosmic Grid − a kind of Universe frame. The networks of the 20th century cities cut off these lines and disconnected our planet from the Universe. How this may end further is not difficult to guess. However, the planet Earth itself began to enter a new region of galactic space, the failure to take into account the properties of which are just as dangerous as the destruction of the reticulate links between the Earth and the Cosmos. As a result, in fact, the World of earthlings is now on the verge of such physical and energy changes in the environment, which, with their further development, will lead to the transformation of continents, peoples, states, economies, and the population of earthlings. All this requires an immediate search for a way out of a series of impending dangers. As you know, everything new is a well-forgotten old. It is necessary to remember the ancient teachings about architecture and urban planning, and adapt them in relation to modern conditions, which, moreover, continue to change. Among the legacy of past eras that need to be revived and rethought is the doctrine of Mandalas − unique multidimensional structures that were once used to create buildings and populated areas. The purpose of the article is to reveal the architectural and urban planning aspects of mandalas and show how they can be used in modern conditions.
