Ecological approach in the design of spaces of minimalism

Abstract

Introduction. Minimalism in the architecture of the 21st century gains new principles for the formation of space, determined by the ideology of the time. In the modern world, more and more attention is paid to the technical characteristics of the created green spaces and their interaction with architectural objects. This is dictated by the need to form sustainable combinations of plant elements that can affect the energy efficiency of buildings, as well as create a psychologically and environmentally friendly environment.
 Materials and methods. The work was carried out based on a study of contemporary objects of landscape architecture implemented in the stage of implementation in the style of minimalism, designed on the principles of sustainability and environmental friendliness. Information about the facilities was obtained from published materials. In the process, methods of theoretical study, analysis, and generalization of the material were applied.
 Results. The analysis allows us to conclude the development and adoption of new principles for the formation of a contemporary spatial domain in the style of minimalism. The position of a more economical attitude to a historically formed landscape is revealed. The functional importance, environmental feasibility and economic feasibility of using combinations of plant space elements as an engineering part of the architecture are considered. The practical significance of the use of “restrained” assortment and orientation to local plant species in the design of green spaces is indicated. The principles of the formation of sustainable landscapes and the rationality of their application in the designed space are determined.
 Conclusions. The technical importance of landscaping the space is determined taking into account the principles of sustainability of the plant environment. The problems are formulated, the solution of which is possible by creating environmentally stable landscapes. The importance of studying the possibility of creating a self-sufficient environment in the dynamics of the development of modern architecture is indicated.
