Urban Improvement, Increasing Investment Attractiveness Territories of Priority Social-Economic Development with the Use Technologies of Architectural Environment Design

Territories of advanced social-economic development (TAD) are created in the Russian Federation to support the economy of municipalities, mostly, single-industry towns, economic activity of which is determined by the city-forming enterprise, a group of integrated enterprises, by means of diversification of activity areas, investment attraction, provision of new jobs, improving social-economic state of population.Urban improvement, cultural environment development, domestic and inbound tourism development are key R&D directions aimed at the achievement of the goals of organizing such preferential development territories with the application of advanced technologies of architectural environment design (AED). The report presents a number of research and development results to achieve these goals in the city of Togliatti, Samara region.

RETHINKING AND PEDAGOGICAL POTENTIAL OF MODERN KINDS OF SPATIAL ART

The article deals with contemporary tendencies of sociocultural interaction of public art with the city space. The necessity of integrative educational approaches to the development of students’ visual culture and mastering the multivalence of art in the urban world is grounded. The main types of artistic practices in the urban environment are described, the social and aesthetic significance of art objects and the current tendencies of the design of architectural environment are determined. It is concluded that art is integrated into social life, influences the cultural identity of city, and determines the comfort of environment. The wide variety of artistic practices in the public city spaces is the content of the category “public art”, which combines aesthetic, socio-cultural and spiritual spheres. Rethinking the main categories of artistic creativity in public life requires the latest educational approaches to the development of students’ visual culture and mastering the multivalence of art in urban space. It is proposed to apply the integrative approach to the integrity of compositional perception of urban space, synthesis of analytical and sensual factors, understanding of current social and artistic tendencies.Mastering the possibilities of contemporary spatial art involves understanding of its conceptual principles, learning the common principles of artistic language and original design techniques of creating art city objects. Art objects are an important element of the aesthetics of the city’s architectural environment, they serve as a visual focus, are used for innovative cultural, educational and public projects. The installation is defined as the newest method of artistic composition, which uses three-dimensional objects designed to change the perception of space by humans. Contemporary art space is characterized by innovative experimental orientation that includes different areas of art.The social potential of spatial public art lies in providing the aesthetic and psychological comfort of being in urban environment, visual emphasizing its uniqueness, and developing a culture of communication with artistic objects.

Круг средового знания и его сегментация в теории архитектуры

Рассматривается раздел российской теории архитек­туры, ассоциируемый со средовой парадигмой. Исходя из отмечаемого рядом исследователей факта неоднородности этой сферы знания, автор пытается выделить и рассмотреть формирующие её проблемно-тематические поля, проследить специфику средового видения, истоки и причины своеобра­зия теоретических установок. Различия в трактовке базовых понятий («среда», «средовое проектирование», «средовой подход» и др.), внимание к разным теоретико-методологиче­ским основаниям и дисциплинам (от философии и методо­логии деятельности до психологии зрительного восприятия и средовой психологии, от экспериментальной эстетики до искусствознания), разное толкование адептами средового видения решаемых профессиональных и социокультурных проблем (от композиционной контекстуальности архитек­турных решений до соучаствующего проектирования, от преодоления узости функционалистского видения жизни до обеспечения экологических стандартов) показывают на­личие семи сегментов средового знания. С использованием самоназваний некоторых сегментов они могут быть обозначены как «дизайн архитектурной среды», «исследование потребностей пользователей», «социально-культурные ис­следования городской среды», «исследования методологии проектирования», «исследования визуального восприятия», «поведенческо-средовые исследования» и «архитектурно­экологические исследования». С использованием ресурса Научной электронной библиотеки России (НЭБ) подвергнуты наукометрическому анализу «ключевые слова», аннотации и списки цитируемой литературы примерно 2500 публикаций, а в ряде случаев проведён понятийно-терминологический ана­лиз полных текстов средового раздела теории архитектуры. Показано, что авторы могут мигрировать между сегментами, в разных своих работах демонстрировать приверженность цен­ностям разных средовых платформ, но определённость теоре­тических установок каждой из них при этом не нарушается.

The study successfully concluded that the Waisai District lacked tourism magnets that could attract tourists and support the Raja Ampat tourism sector, and recommended the revitalization of the tourism potential of Waisai city, such as beaches, pedestrian ways, and city parks, hence Raja Ampat can be known for not only its magnificent sea, but also the Waisai’s central business district (CBD).

Module as forms of formation of architectural environmental design

The article covers aspects of designing an architectural environment based on the module and modular design. The popularization of the module as a dimensional unit in shaping the design of an architectural environment is conditioned by the simplicity of independent elements, the possibility of their combination, a variety of choices of configurations of the completed spatial object, effective integration into any available space. It has been discovered that the autonomous module serves as the unit for designing a wide range of buildings and structures, as well as elements of the urban interior, creating an interactive urban space that prompts the user to actively interact with the environment, engages in discussion with society and promotes social mobility. It is revealed that the design of the architectural environment, formed on the basis of the module, acts as a self-organized dynamic space, characterized by a wide range of shaped solutions. One of the main ways to expressively design an architectural environment formed on the basis of modularity is a form. The form creates a generalized aesthetic impression and effectively reveals the idea-symbol inherent in the project. It is established that in the modern practice of creating the image of a modular environment, attempts to achieve the aesthetic effect created as a result of imitation of bionic motifs and objects of everyday life, as well as with optical illusions, are increasingly observed. The study revealed that the design of the architectural environment is based on the module has a high aesthetic value, dynamism, interactivity and actively interacts with the society.

An indoor thermal environment design system for renovation using augmented reality

AbstractThe renovation projects of buildings and living spaces, which aim to improve the thermal environment, are gaining importance because of energy saving effects and occupants' health considerations. However, the indoor thermal design is not usually performed in a very efficient manner by stakeholders, due to the limitations of a sequential waterfall design process model, and due to the difficulty in comprehending the CFD simulation results for stakeholders. On the other hand, indoor greenery has been introduced to buildings as a method for adjusting the thermal condition. Creating a VR environment, which can realistically and intuitively visualize a thermal simulation model is very time consuming and the resulting VR environment created by 3D computer graphics objects is disconnected from the reality and does not allow design stakeholders to experience the feelings of the real world. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop a new AR-based methodology for intuitively visualizing indoor thermal environment for building renovation projects. In our proposed system, easy-to-comprehend visualization of CFD results augment the real scenes to provide users with information about thermal effects of their renovation design alternatives interactively. Case studies to assess the effect of indoor greenery alternatives on the thermal environment are performed. In conclusion, integrating CFD and AR provides users with a more natural feeling of the future thermal environment. The proposed method was evaluated feasible and effective.Highlights An indoor thermal environment design system for renovation projects is developed. Visualization of indoor CFD results in an AR environment is realized and tested. Users can study both architectural design and thermal environment simultaneously. Feasibility and practicality were validated through case studies of indoor greenery alternatives.

An integrated framework on soundscape perception and spatial experience by adapting post-occupancy evaluation methodology

The effecting factors of soundscape perception and space experience have a very close relationship. This study aims to synthesize the diversity of soundscape classifications and schemes and unify such factorial variations in order to develop an integrated framework for soundscape perception and spatial experience within a systematic review of recent progress and by adapting post-occupancy evaluation methodology. First, factors under soundscape perception and space experience are reviewed in detail and merged to form conceptual classification models. Six soundscape perception factors are formed as (1) sonic, (2) spatial, (3) temporal, (4) psychological, (5) behavioural and (6) personal. Similarly, five space experience factors are formed as (1) user, (2) usage, (3) architectural design, (4) social context and (5) physical environment. All related items in the literature are presented and the sub-items under each factor are exemplified. Second, factors under the merged conceptual models are integrated by considering occupants’ experience of space regarding their variance in perception of soundscapes through acoustical post-occupancy evaluation. An adapted study design is proposed under indicative, investigative and diagnostic stages of the post-occupancy evaluation by presenting the methods, data types and factorial correlations for each stage.

Design and Decorative Art in Shaping of Architectural Environment Image

The relevance of the topic is determined by the dynamic development of the promising branch, i.e. the architectural environment design, which requires, on the one hand, consideration of the morphology and typology of this art form, on the other hand, the specificity of the architectural environment artistic image. The intensive development of innovative computer technologies and materials in modern engineering, improvement of the information communications forms in their totality has led to the application of new methods in design and construction which, in their turn, have required the development of additional methods for content and context analysis in the integrated assessment of socially significant architectural environments. In the modern culture, correlative processes are steadily developing leading us to a new understanding of the interaction of architecture, decorative art and design. Their rapprochement at the morphological level has been noted which makes it possible to reveal a specific method of synthesis and similarity. The architecture of postmodern styles differs in its bionic form becoming an interactive part of the society and approaching its structural qualities with painting, sculpture, and design. In the modern world, these processes acquire multi-valued semantic nuances, expand the importance of associativity and dynamic processuality in the perception of environmental objects and demand the development of new approaches to the assessment of the architectural design environment. Within the framework of the universal paradigm of modern times the concept of the world develops as a set of systems that live according to the self-organization laws.

建築系複合領域分野の初学者にみる環境要素の実測・演習の導入効果

For enhancing the general level of understanding toward architectural environmental design, it is important not only for ordinal architectural students but also for architectural students in composite regions to imagine environmental elements in their design. As a first step, discovery of environmental elements in living areas was important for the introduction of understanding the relation between architectural design and environment. On the other hand, the number of composite regions in architecture becomes too large to ignore. It is worth enough to develop the educational program for architectural students in this field. In this study, as a means of addressing this issue, educational program, in which simple field measurement on thermal environment and practical exercise on ultraviolet environment was introduce for the discovery of environmental elements in living areas, had been developed and conducted for architectural beginners in composite regions. Based on the previous studies about architectural educational programs for undergraduate students, the educational program in this study is divided into some stages. In each stage, challenges and work descriptions are set to meet the minimal performance standard for the purpose of understanding and acquiring the image of environmental elements in living areas. In this program, the environmental elements comprises of three topics, outdoor thermal environment, indoor thermal environment, and ultraviolet radiation environment. Simple field measurements and practical exercises are introduced, for the purpose of discovering the image of environment elements in living areas directly by students. Each topic consists of three steps: 1) lecture, 2) simple field measurement / practical exercise, 3) report. Finally, countermeasures of the target site are proposed in a final paper by students to finish up this program. Field measurement is for thermal environment, and practical exercise is for ultraviolet radiation environment. The program was developed and conducted for 4 months (Sep.-Dec. 2013.) as part of usual didactic course, offered to third grade undergraduate students, most of them were architectural beginners, at composite regions in architecture, Otsuma Women's University, Japan. The following 6 environmental elements are treated and measured by the students; air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind velocity, surface temperature, and ultraviolet radiation environment. The results confirmed that the program successfully ensured students' measurement on environmental elements in living areas, even if both the students were architectural beginners in composite regions and the contents of the program, field measurement and practical exercise, were too simple in total. The high percentage of correct answer on ultraviolet radiation environment in the before-and-after quiz also showed the possibility of students' interest enhancing the discovery on environmental elements, because all the students were women. Moreover, from the increase in number of the students' description about environmental elements in the reports and the final paper, the educational program enhanced students' discovery on environmental elements. On the other hand, some areas were highlighted for improvement with regards to the content of the lectures and reports in the program, especially on students' misunderstanding and miscalculation on environmental elements. This showed the needs of improvement in the next paper.

Design Ecosystems: Customising the Architectural Design Environment with Software Plug‐ins

AbstractAs a preface to this section dedicated to the rise of plug‐ins, Daniel Davis and Guest‐Editor Brady Peters describe the shift in architectural culture that has seen the adoption of scripting interfaces ‐ once the preserve of CAD specialists ‐ spread to designers using code to create geometry and find form. They explain how this defines an entirely new landscape in which ‘cathedrals’ (monolithic applications) are challenged by ‘bazaars’ (generative‐modelling editors) populated by animal‐named plug‐ins, where architects become the formulators rather than just the end users of programs.

Field Measurement and Analysis of the Micro Climate of a Campus Square

A square is an important multi-functional public space on campus, which can be used as a venue for traffic, gathering, recreational activities and cultural events, and thus the thermal environment of the campus square will directly influence the overall environmental quality of campus. This paper studies a campus square in the summer-hot and winter-cold region, selects typical positions to conduct actual measurement of parameters, such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and solar radiation, which indicate the thermal environment. Based on data collection and analysis, it is concluded that the thermal environment of the campus square is affected by microclimate factors such as the square underlying surface properties, vegetation and building and road orientations. This paper is aimed at exploring the regularity of the correlation between microclimate factors and thermal environment in order to facilitate the improvement of the thermal environment of the campus square, make it more comfortable and provide ideas for the landscape and architectural environment design.
