Architectural Environmental Design – Architectural Profession

Abstract

The architecture of the past have been receiving inputs of a rational and artistic nature, allowing it to create different types of environments. The artist Paul Cezanne did not separate the object and its background in his paintings. In the language of architecture, this means that it is impossible to tear apart the architectural objects and the surrounding space, that can acquire the quality of the architectural environment. The trends of the plastic arts of the 20-21st centuries have influenced the development of design and architecture. There was a method of transition from painting to relief; to volume, and further to a three-dimensional environment.

The architecture gave in its role of the leader of the new form design to the painting. Progression towards the abstraction has become the main trend in the evolution of the plastic arts.

In the USSR, the designer studied the environment associated with the real life of people. The Department of Artistic Design of Environmental Complexes was founded in MARKHI, later named Design of the Architectural Environment Department - DAS. The main direction of its activity is the design of the architectural environment with objects of both permanent and non-permanent architecture, integrated landscaping, monumental and decorative art, technical structures in their color andlight expression.

The international experience points out the intensifying cooperation between architects and designers. The problem of the city's color-lighting environment, which has a two- hundred-year-old history, with rare exceptions, has not yet been recognized by domestic architects who ignore the rich foreign experience of overflowing the city's color environment in the afternoon into an artificial light environment in the evening.

The article presents examples of the urban environment formation designed by students of the DAS department of MARKHI. The communication between architecture and design was set. The core of architecture has been significantly strengthened through interaction with design. This indicates its potential development, which was noted by the UNESCO Validation Commission.
