A Poem on the Sea of Tears, or the Chronicles of a Disaster. Oleksandr Dovzhenko about Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant

The article is based on the diary entries of Oleksandr Dovzhenko. The realities of the construction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station (1950–1956), which has become another stage of Stalin’s plan to “tame nature” are investigated in the article. As a result of thoughtless, ideologically driven decisions, irreparable damage has been done to Ukraine’s ecology, its demographic and settlement structure, cultural and historical heritage. On June 6, 2023, the dam of the reservoir has been blown up by Russian occupation forces, causing a global environmental disaster. In this regard, interest in the history of construction and true testimonies about that time has grown. Oleksandr Dovzhenko has worked here for five years to create a film about the man-made sea. Communication with construction workers, people who have been forced to move, losing their small homeland forever, enabled him to create his own chronicle of events in their artistic comprehension. The communist pathos of the diaries is caused by the artist’s passion for the idea of irrigating the arid steppes and, to a certain extent, the self-censorship of a person forced to survive under ideological and power pressure, which later gives way to doubts about the expediency of what is happening. A record on a sense of something terrible and inevitable that is about to happen appears. The writer witnesses a catastrophe, and eschatological plots of the destruction of the unique Ukrainian world unfold before his eyes. Three main themes on which the author’s attention is focused: nature, history, and people, are analyzed in the study. The loss of centuries-old natural landscapes (the Great Meadow), the flooding of thousands of historical monuments (Scythian burials, places of the Cossack Sich), the destruction of folk architecture, sacred buildings, farmlands, and broken human destinies have prompted O. Dovzhenko to search for options to prevent the disaster. His memoranda to the Council of Ministers and the Academy of Architecture have allowed him to add national color to the urban space of Nova Kakhovka, to mark the gates of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station sluices with Cossack symbols – gull ships. The start of construction and the consequences it caused have led the artist to believe that it is inexpedient to continue building artificial reservoirs on the Dnipro. He has tried unsuccessfully to convey this idea to the specialists involved. Further experience has confirmed the truth of his conclusions. About 80 villages have been flooded again after the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station is blown up in 2023. After the water has receded, contrary to the pessimistic predictions of environmentalists, a willow forest has grown in this area within a year, and archaeological sites are once again on dry land. The first timid assumptions about the possibility to return the Velykyi Luh (the Great Meadow) have appeared. It seems that, following Dovzhenko, believing in the unconquerability of Ukrainianhood and the power of the national spirit, we can consider this a deeply symbolic phenomenon that gives us hope that all evil will be inevitably defeated.

Designing Collective Housing for Older People: Proposals from the Dutch Welfare State by Pot & Pot-Keegstra.

This scientific paper examines how the Dutch architects Jacoba Froukje Pot-Keegstra (1908-1997) and her husband Johan Willem Hindrik Cornelis Pot (1909-1972) designed for older people. In the decades following World War II, with the advent of the welfare state, care for older people became a priority of new social policy in the Netherlands. In 1956, the state pensions were launched (Algemene Ouderdomswet), and in 1963, the Dutch Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning (Volkshuisvesting en Ruimtelijke Ordening) introduced the Older People's Homes Act (Wet op de Bejaardenoorden). At the time, there was a growing demand for housing for older people, and this aimed to facilitate their large-scale production while meeting the highest possible standards. Through some of their most significant projects, this paper explores the aspects that Pot & Pot-Keegstra added to the design of collective housing to make life more convenient for old people beyond the "Regulations and Guidelines" (Voorschriften en Wenken) introduced in 1965. The methodology of this paper consists mainly of archival research in the National Collection for Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning at the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, a review of scientific and non-scientific literature, and plan analysis. It is worth noting that Pot-Keegstra was the first female architect by the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam in 1936, and she was one of the very first women to run an office with her husband. Among the analysed projects designed by Pot & Pot-Keegstra for older people is the first high-rise nursing home, the Osdorperhof in Amsterdam (1962-1968). The General Act on Exceptional Medical Expenses adopted in 1968 (Algemene Wet Bijzondere Ziektekosten) made the proliferation of nursing homes possible. The Osdorperhof, with medically oriented care, was a forerunner of the nursing home boom that began in the late 1960s. The design of this project facilitated a new way of taking care of older people, as this collective housing enabled them to live relatively independently and to have the care they needed.

Investigating Ecocinema through the Video Essay

How can the video essay be deployed as a critical tool to analyse ecocinema and its relevance to the current environmental crisis? The Video Essay for Ecocinema course, held in the 2023 spring semester at the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, introduced videographic techniques to investigate the topic of ecocinema and critically analyse ecological imaginaries. A heterogeneous bibliography of texts, films and video essays related to ecocinema presented key thematic concepts, including: visualizations of ecological scale(s); the role of affect in producing environmental consciousness; materialising intangible infrastructures and hidden “grey energies”; and the digital footprint of film and media industries. These concepts in turn served as the basis for a distinct series of videographic exercises that prepared students for their final videographic project. The results demonstrate the profound value of the video essay as a pedagogical practice that can provide students with the tools to address such a challenging and multifaceted topic as the global environmental crisis.

Basic principles of urban transformation of the suburban zone of a megapolis greater samara. Part 1

The contradictions that exist today between a reasonable balance of planning, communication, industrial, environmental processes and the organization of the urban planning structure of a megapolis are formed in the orbit of current challenges for Russia. The author examines new concepts aimed at creating international transport and logistics corridors and scientific and production clusters in accordance with the strategy of neo-industrialization and the draft Urban Planning Doctrine of Russia developed by the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences. Using the example of the Volga region megapolis Greater Samara, the following are considered: the basic urban planning principles for regulating the transformation of the suburbs of the megapolis; spatial structure of multihub systems. Promising models of the supporting framework of territories with scientific and practical organization of space are proposed, considered according to the spheres of their action: architectural, urban planning, management, environmental, economic. The author relies on the scientific works of architects, urban planners, economic geographers, urban ecologists and other specialists studying urban processes.

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION OF SERVICE FACILITIES LOCATED AT TRANSPORT AND TRANSFER NODES

The article examines the advantages of high-rise construction at significant transport and interchange nodes at the entrance to cities using the example of the analysis of the Urban Planning Concept for the Placement of High-rise Buildings and Structures in Kyiv, developed by the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture and Projects of Kyiv Architects. According to the concept developed under the leadership of the president of UAA V.G. Stolka, the placement of new high-rise dominants should be aimed first of all at creating a clear architectural and urban planning and volume-spatial composition of the main urban planning nodes at the intersection of city highways.
 The method of forming the dominant composition of the buildings of the transport and transfer hub is considered, using the example of the environment of the metro station "Livoberezhna". Brovarsky Avenue is an important highway for entering and leaving Kyiv. Modern investors in Ukraine consider increasing the number of floors of buildings in order to rationally develop territories. In the urban planning aspect, high-rise compositions emphasize important planning nodes. The construction regularities of the volumetric-spatial composition of high-rise buildings are divided into types and the characteristics of each of them are given. The historical aspect of the formation of compositional ensembles is taken into account on the example of the Livoberezhna metro station in Kyiv. The regularities of the construction of the volumetric-spatial composition of high-rise buildings are divided by type: a single object; a high-rise complex with several tower-type buildings connected by horizontal volume-spatial parts; a building in a group of volumes of different shapes and heights, spatially connected and located at a certain distance from each other. The search for iconic compositional and artistic qualities of high-rise buildings and optimal functional and planning solutions requires architects to use and combine various planning techniques, one of which is the design of atriums in the structure of high-rise buildings in extended stylobates, etc. The historical analysis of one of the nodes showed how the relationship to the stylistic characteristics of architecture changes in connection with the development of certain stylistic currents in the world.

Conceptuality and rationality in underground spaces transport interchange hub organization

The article substantiates the necessity of combining modern methods of underground urban planning in areas of special urban planning value, which include transport interchanges and their adjacent territories. Techniques for the rational organization of service facilities and prospects for the development of accompanying functional areas are formulates. A modern multi-functional complex as part of a transport interchange hubs requires the use of new means of forming the architectural environment: external and internal organization of underground space. The purpose of the publication is to argue for the optimization of the development of public service facilities of transport interchanges due to the organization of underground spaces and to determine the main advantages of rationality. Analysis of the Utrecht and Berlin stations as examples of European experience in the operation and development of transport hubs demonstrates the main advantages of rationality in the organization of underground spaces. The concept, which reorganizes transfer points into small businesses and shopping centers, integrates them into underground spaces: places for holding exhibitions and business events, conference halls. Effective using of land resources helps to free up the territory for pedestrian areas. Using of modern technologies in the field of energy efficiency and ecology correspond to the direction of sustainable development; separation of traffic and pedestrian flows, organization of the shortest paths to various types of transport and evacuation are beneficial when used as a shelter; economic efficiency increases the urban value of the territory. The topic of conceptual design, introduced at the Department of Architectural Environment Design in Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture when developing a highly urbanized transport hub in accordance with the concept of the location of high-rise buildings in Kyiv, approved by the Academy of Architecture of Ukraine.

AFTER EMERGENCY GEODESIC OBSERVATIONS

The majestic, ancient six-story house, which occupied more than half of the block at the intersection of Troitskaya and Pushkinskaya streets in the center of Odessa, collapsed as a result of a fire and its extinguishing. All floors and roofs burned down. The house in its upper floors from the side of the facade has lost its bearing capacity. For security reasons, the walls to the third floor were dismantled. Quantitative evaluation of existing deformations and prediction of the further possible deformations and preparation of the guaranteed for the further use of the object requires geodetic monitoring. Back in 1913 at the place where the house of G. Greendewald (1832 architect IS Kozlov) stood, on the corner of Pushkinskaya and Troitskaya streets, the reconstruction of the huge at the time revenue house for the tobacco manufacturer K. Asvadurov began. In the early 1910 in the house of G. Greende wald there was a cardboard factory of a burgher Yudka Izrailevich Kaplan. The house belongs to the architectural monument of local significance.The experience of geodetic monitoring carried out by the Research Laboratory of the Odessa State Academy of Architecture (hereinafter ODABA) "Geodesic support of the construction and reconstruction of buildings and structures" at numerous objects in Odessa, and the recommendations of the Department of "Geodesy and Land Management", prepared using modern mathematical apparatus , made it possible to take measures in a timely manner to ensure the further trouble-free operation of these facilities.

ON THE PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF ARCHITECTURE

The term "academy" originated in Ancient Greece, nowadays, it has preserved its main features acquired in the course of historical development. The phenomenon embodies the process of acquiring, preserving and transmitting knowledge, and includes the personalities and institutions that do so.
 Academic culture is a broader concept for scientific culture. Also, the academic community is a broader notion for the scientific community. Accordingly, the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture is an academic society, not strictly scientific, because it includes architecture as a synthesizing or unifying form of the art of shaping the living environment of the population.
 Joint activities of the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture and the National Union of Architects of Ukraine can bring tangible results, facilitate contacts with government agencies responsible for the development of architecture.
 The development of the creative community in modern conditions necessitates the use of the main provisions of strategic and creative management. It allows to form a positive image of creative organization, to increase competitiveness, to use limited resources more effectively, to increase profit and to formulate a clear development strategy.
 On the whole, proceeding from the above-mentioned, the main directions of the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture's activity during the nearest period must be the following: 1) acquiring (scientific research) knowledge; 2) preserving and passing on knowledge; 3) practical developments in architecture and town-planning; 4) promotion and publishing activities 5) maintenance of close cooperation with the Union of Architects of Ukraine, Academy of Construction of Ukraine, establishment of mutually beneficial cooperation with governmental bodies responsible for the development of architecture and urban planning.

Stalingrad: The feat of creation

Based on archival documents introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, the process of postwar restoration of Stalingrad is discussed. During the Battle of Stalingrad, which became one of the key battles of the Second World War, Stalingrad suffered colossal destruction: not a single one of the 126 enterprises survived, while 48 factories were razed to the ground; the civilian population of the city was reduced to 1515 people. Already in December 1942 - January 1943, the city and oblast authorities decided to begin restoration. Although the fighting in the city was still ongoing, on April 4, 1943, a resolution of the State Defense Committee (GKO) was adopted On Priority Measures to Restore the Economy of Stalingrad and Stalingrad Oblast. The process of developing an urban planning concept and searching for an architectural and artistic solution was rather difficult. The best creative forces of the Soviet Union took part in this work: A.V. Shchusev, B.M. Iofan, K.S. Alabyan, E.V. Vuchetich, and others. The final project for the development of the center of Stalingrad was prepared by a group of the Academy of Architecture under the leadership of Alabyan in 1946; however, after the adoption in 1955 of the resolution of the CPSU Central Committee On the Elimination of Excesses in Design and Construction, this project was not implemented in full. An important milestone in the formation of the modern appearance of Stalingrad (Volgograd) was the construction of the memorial ensemble to the heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad on Mamayev Kurgan in 1959−1967 according to the design and under the direct supervision of the sculptor E.V. Vuchetich and engineer N.V. Nikitin.

ГЕЙМИФИКАЦИЯ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОГО ПРОЦЕССА: ИГРЫ НА ЗАНЯТИЯХ ПО РКИ В КИТАЙСКОЙ АУДИТОРИИ

Gamification of the educational process is one of the main ways to develop modern methods of RFL-teaching. Games undoubtedly increase motivation to learn Russian, make the educational process brighter, more colorful, more interesting, and, accordingly, more active. Intensification of the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language is one of the urgent problems of the teaching methodology of the Russian Language at this stage of its development. Many tutors working with Chinese students note the fact that quite often their students do not reach the required level of proficiency in the Russian language in a timely manner. Russian and Chinese languages differ significantly, which makes the process of mastering the Russian language by the Chinese very difficult. Numerous difficulties arise when teaching various aspects: phonetic, lexical, grammatical. Games specially designed for the Chinese audience can help overcome these difficulties, improve the qualitative and quantitative indicators of learning the Russian language. The purpose of the article is to show the possibilities of phonetic, lexical and grammatical games in the intensification of the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language to Chinese students at the initial stage of training. The materials for the study were unique games for RFL-teaching to Chinese foreign students with the A2 level of proficiency in Russian. The authors have developed three games for teaching phonetics: “Phonetic basin”, vocabulary: “Lexical hat”, grammar: “Grammatical deck”. The research used methods of experiment, observation and interpretation, as well as generalization of personal practical experience of working in a Chinese audience. An experiment was conducted at the Southern Federal University, Russia in 2022. This study involved 7 Chinese students of the Academy of Architecture and Arts, the training program 54.03.01 Design, studying Russian at the Institute of Philology, Journalism and the Intercultural Communication.

Издательский проект Всесоюзной академии архитектуры. Вклад В.П. Зубова в архитектурную теорию 1930-х годов

The article is devoted to the publishing and research activities of the All-Union Academy of Architecture carried out in the 1930s, which consisted in the translation and commentary of architectural treatises of antiquity, the Italian Renaissance, and other texts on classical architectural theory. In just six to seven years, the Academy of Architecture prepared for publication translations of the most significant comprehensive western European works on the theory and history of architecture, most of which had never been translated into Russian before and had not been published in Russia. One of the main tasks of the project was to establish the original texts of the translated works, as well as to prepare commentary and notes explaining the complex, not always obvious meanings of ancient treatises on architectural theory. For several years, this work united the efforts of outstanding representatives of the Russian history of art. A special place among them belongs to the academic encyclopedist Vasily P. Zubov, who presented the most extensive and scientifically-based comments. Among them are comments on the treatise The Ten Books on Architecture by L.B. Alberti and notes to the essay by D. Barbaro Comment on the Ten Books on the Architecture by Vitruvius. Zubov’s works have been highly appreciated not only in Russia, but also abroad, and his translations and comments have advanced Russian art studies to anew research level. The publishing project of the Academy of Architecture has been repeatedly mentioned in the scientific literature, but no systematic information has been provided and the history of this project requires additional research. The attempt to fill in these gaps, which also introduces into scientific circulation the unpublished archival sources and little-known journal publications of the 1930s, determines the relevance and novelty of this article.
