Style Recognition of Door God Paintings by Hypothesis Testing for Texture Features of Painting Patterns

Many studies in the literature have presented multiple remote sensing techniques for defect inspection of paintings. At present, however, papers on defect inspection and restoration of oriental architectural arts—such as door god paintings—are still rare. If an aged and damaged door god painting needs a restoration, then following the style and treatment skill of the original artist as much as possible is important for the restoration. Unfortunately, it is usually difficult to access the original artists for some of the aged door god paintings. This paper considers the texture features of auspicious patterns of armors on warrior door gods as useful information to recognize styles of door god paintings by unknown artists. First, a two-level two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform coupled with co-occurrence matrix calculation was adopted to analyze the texture features, based on the descriptors of angular second moment (ASM), entropy (ENT), contrast (CON), homogeneity (HOM), dissimilarity (DIS), correlation (COR), and cluster tendency (CLU), in the four orientations of 0° (horizontal), 45° (vertical), and 90° and 135° (double diagonal). Second, a two-tailed t-test based on the analyzed texture features was introduced into the hypothesis testing for demonstrating the master and apprentice relationships between the surveyed artists, and for recognizing the door god painting styles of unknown artists as well. The experimental results show that the proposed method effectively describes the texture features of the auspicious patterns of the surveyed door god paintings, and is able to determine the useful co-occurrence features for recognizing unknown artists’ painting styles.

On, In, and Within a Place

This article examines six modes of operation on, in, and within a place in Israeli conceptual art and landscape architecture. These modes—action-in-place; intervention; place-making; representation; readymade; and second-nature—maintain landscape architecture’s conception of a genius loci, the spirit of the place. They also attend to place as a new and critical means of operation in the 1970s emerging field of conceptual art. This article explores diverse attitudes and motivations for operating with/in place, as it became a fundamental issue in the international arena in the 1970s, in relation to Israeli cultural, political, social, and environmental concerns. In the context of the period’s sociopolitical turmoil and ideological controversy, the article’s two focal points—the six-mode perspective and the disciplines’ attitude toward place—complement each other and attend to the manifold aspects of place (ha-Makom) in Israel, while highlighting its intricacy.

Arabic calligraphy in Andalusia and Ottoman houses: a comparative analysis

Islamic calligraphy during the Andalusian and Ottoman civilizations and after the spread of Islam greatly affected the advancement of decorative art in architecture and the built environment. During that time, Arabic calligraphy has been developed between those two eras.

The specific detailed case study underlines the importance of balanced interdisciplinary collaboration in harmonious interaction between architecture, landscape and indoor space.

POST-POSTMODERN: ARTS AND TRENDS

This article considers post-postmodern arts and trends in their diversity. The starting point of the research is the comparison of postmodern and post-postmodern in the art environment. Postmodern paradoxically limits the redundancy, not allowing sufficient displaying of the special features of an art object. Post-postmodern arts provide a possibility to overcome the lack and danger of events and the self-happening of a human being. Object-oriented ontology (OOO) by Graham Harman, performatism by Raoul Eshelman, metamodernism by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker, digimodernism by Alain Kirby, post-postmodern understanding of architecture by Tom Turner, etc. are intellectual trends, which comprehends peculiarities of postmodern and post-postmodern art in particular. OOO displays, that post-postmodern art is rather theatrical that literal and even post-postmodern literature becomes theatrical. The renouncement from an overestimation of both form and function in art, especially in architecture, allows to designate a weird formalism as an actual art position. Since the article deals with the art of living through, the greatest attention is paid to architecture as an exemplary art. This explains the appeal to works that research architecture, including the theories of architects themselves such as Peter Zumthor or Juhani Palasmaa or creating architectural art objects by writers. On the other hand, post-postmodern writers such as David Foster Wallace or Dave Eggers create theatrical literary works, which are often filmed. Performatism as a direction developing post-millennial generative anthropology is the basis for the researching of generative art as the most unpredictable and close to the spontaneity of living through as a moving to attract objects, including art objects. This article develops this approach by researching of moving from self-performance to self-happening as an art of demeanor, a mode of being. Thus, post-postmodern art in its diversity appears as art a human being living through.

Retraction Note: Research on urban modern architectural art based on artificial intelligence and GIS image recognition system

At present, the Chinese construction industry has begun to apply artificial intelligence technology to the research of the construction industry, and it has attracted the attention of many researchers. At present, the main application method is in the construction of the internal system of the intelligent building, use the neural network system, the mold control system, the expert system, and the intelligent decision-making system to achieve the goal of the intelligent building service. This article will analyze the overall situation of artificial intelligence applications in intelligent construction at this stage, based on artificial intelligence technology, and study in detail the application of artificial intelligence systems in various aspects of intelligent construction. Re-excavate the connotation of the urban texture with the methods of quantification and data analysis. Take the texture data of multiple cities as an example, and use methods such as image dimensionality reduction, k-means clustering, convolutional neural network classification, and machine learning to build urban images. The identification and evaluation system finally concludes that in the existing evaluation system, the total economic score, the total soft economic score, the environmental score, and the sanitation score have the greatest correlation with the recognition results of urban texture. Among them is the environmental score. The correlation of health scores is in line with the common cognition of urban research scholars, and the calculation results of total economic scores and total soft economic scores indicate that urban architectural planning and its layout are hidden from the economic situation of the city, and also prove artificial intelligence based on image recognition is necessary to mine city information and evaluate it.

Optimisation of Modelling of Finite Element Differential Equations with Modern Art Design Theory

Abstract A bridge structure is one of the most expressive forms of art design. The artistic expression of bridge structure combines different concepts of structural design and architectural art design. Finite element differential equations are widely used in bridge art design theory and based on these features, the paper adopts the bridge modal parameter recognition algorithm and uses the finite element model to modify and realise the bridge's artistic design. The simulation results show the feasibility of the author's attempt to use the finite element differential equation as the bridge structure art design carrier. After the finite element differential equation modelling, the bridge art structure correction is highly consistent with the experimental results.

UKRAINIAN ARCHITECTURAL MODERN STYLE IN THE WORKS OF IVAN LEVINSKY

The article considers the formative features of the formation of the Ukrainian architectural style (modern style) as a phenomenon that has accumulated both properties characteristic of the style of Western European countries, and national traditions of the formation of folk housing or sacred construction. Ukrainian architectural style (modern style) has become an outstanding phenomenon in the development of domestic and European architectural art. It has absorbed many features that have become common to the pan-European architectural heritage, with its features and differences in the varieties of its expression. During the XIX-early XX centuries, church buildings appear in temple architecture, and they were based on the foundations of a "modern" or "realistic" understanding of shaping. Therefore, there is a focus on national culture and traditions, in an innovative sound. Linearity and decorativeness are manifested in stylistic solutions and detailing of decorative elements and inserts. In Galicia, for the first time in 1894, a building was implemented that embodied the above-mentioned features and principles of the formation of the UAS (UAMS). And its creator was the famous architect and industrialist Ivan Levinsky, professor of Lviv Polytechnic.

The Role of Outdoor Sculpture in Achieving the Aesthetic Values of the Architectural Space in Sustainable Cities

The city is an architectural structure and its visual impression is accomplished through visual pictures that are subjected in its arrangements to values originating from the feel of urbanism alongside with utilitarian, social, and social values that are all founded on arranging thought and urban thinking. And when one or more of these values is missing, the city's visual scene gets befuddled and shaken. Paying consideration to the city's highlights, shape, character and excellence isn't an extravagance in urban life, but instead a natural civilizational express that goes with the degrees of edified advancement of social orders, And the open territories are one of the fundamental parts of urban communities, where they are considered as a principle lung for picnics and recreation, and an indication of arriving at a superior level of life and performance. Sculpture is one of the most important arts which had the ability to express human nations cultures ,and throughout the ages sculpture art was associated with architecture and its function, as it is one of the oldest arts that accompanied , as the architectural idea began originally from sculpture, so the relationship between sculpture and architecture arts is complementary, not sculpture complements the architecture but each was the basis for the other. Sustainable architecture is considered one of the recent trends of architectural thought who is interested in the relationship between the building and its environment. Environmental architecture is a process to ensure that the building be designed in a style that respects the environment, taking into account the reduction of energy consumption, materials and resources and maximizing harmony with nature .And for art sculpture and spread in sustainable architecture of great importance for the functional and aesthetic role elevates and what happens from an activity, it is not only a cosmetic, but a real mirror for the society culture and an indication of the extent and progress of civilization., In the presence of the problems of population increasing and the narrowing of the spaces of housing units, the external spaces become the only outlet for the society, but these spaces lack the elements of attraction that would meet the needs of society .The research problem was represented in ignoring the importance of Holographic sculpture in ornamentation external urban spaces to suit the human requirements, which affected the aesthetic image and functional values of these spaces .This study comes as a result of the urgent need to make the external spaces in sustainable architecture meet the human requirements using sculpture art and the study aims to clarifying the relationship between sculpture, architecture and aesthetic sustainability by using sculptures to embellish the external architectural spaces and producing of sculptures used to assortment external spaces to achieve visual quality in sustainable architecture.and the research is based on the experimental method , and the most important results were : Emphasizing the cultural role of sculptural works through direct interaction between the audience and the sculpture , sculpture which based on the interwoven linear relationships that were difficult to implement with another material. The current aesthetic status of most cities lacks aesthetic formation and aesthetic identity, which makes Holographic sculpture a role in confirming the integration of aesthetic identity with its functional identity. Sustainable cities as an architectural design that repels sculpting, hence the role of the sculptor in setting up formative solutions that allow field sculpting to perform its multiple functions in their architectural voids in a manner that is compatible with their architectural design .The clarity of the functional role of sustainable architectural buildings and the lack of clarity of the aesthetic role. Hence, the sculpture should have an important role in highlighting the aesthetic role of sustainable architecture to add an aesthetic value that may affect the architectural form .
