Immersive practices in the architectural space of modern parks
The identification of strategies and tools that contribute to the achievement of the state of immersion in the emotionally saturated environment of city parks. The identification of immersive instruments will help to optimally use in the design the potential of the possible impact of the landscape environment and augmented reality on the sensory systems of park visitors for the formation of emotional response, impressions and semantic saturation based on direct experience.

Forming the intensity of emotional impact that captures the viewer’s attention and draws them into the world of illusions and images is the main goal of any artistic work. The state of immersion (immersivity) is considered as one of the main characteristics of modern architectural space. The main objectives of this article are to define the immersivity of architectural space and to identify the tools that are used to ensure the inclusion and immersion of urban park visitors into the landscape, symbolic, natural and cultural-historical environment.

The treasures of world architecture, reflecting theories and concepts, principles and techniques of design, are an inexhaustible base for the growth and development of young architects, searching for ideas to create the image and form of an object. Artificial intelligence, in addition to developing floor plans, structural layouts, patterns for environmental and organisational decisions, etc., can effectively generate conceptual and prototypical images using the diffusion method. Artificial intelligence can significantly reduce the time of the creative process by offering a wide range of options for creative and practical solutions based on the prototype patterns and their descriptions offered to it.

The article analyses the works of Dutch philosopher Johan Huizinga, who identified four distinctive features of play – free participation, creation of one’s own world, limited time of play, and order, as well as the works of French sociologist R. Caillois, who reduced the diversity of play to four types – competition, simulation, chance and vertigo. Creative concepts of parks are studied as an embodiment of alternative reality and integrity of the play in contrast to the experience of social development dissonance, identity crisis and lack of aesthetic harmony. The authors study the characteristics of the context of the play: the correlation between the rational and irrational, the limited material space, the presence of characters and rules, paraphernalia and performance as opposed to everyday life. Examples of realisation of playing practices in parks are given. Actualisation of the play in the modern entertainment industry is considered through the lens of theme parks.

Studies on the typology and architectural features of trade complexes located on historical routes, caravanserais of the Great Silk Road, remain relevant in the modern world, as these structures not only represent historical heritage but also have the potential to understand the impact of trade and cultural exchange on the formation of the urban environment. The study aims to identify the typology and architectural features of trade complexes located on historical routes, with an in-depth study of the Great Silk Road caravanserais. The study includes the application of an analytical approach, classification method, functional analysis, statistical methods, synthesis method and other methodological approaches. The peculiarities and differences in the typology and architectural characteristics of shopping centres located on historical routes were identified. The analysis of changes on the example of caravan trade routes that stretched across medieval Asia and Eurasia is necessary to assess the evolution and challenges throughout their development. The expediency of using the analysis on the example of caravanserais of the Great Silk Road is considered, limitations in the process are identified, and the impact of limitations on the result is analysed. During architectural studies based on archaeological research, attention was paid to the excavations of large urban centres located along the routes. The practical significance of the study lies in the application of the results obtained to eliminate errors in improving the typology and architectural characteristics of trade complexes on historical routes, and the reliability of the analysis on the example of caravanserais of the Great Silk Road, considering various factors, is considered, which will serve as a basis for providing recommendations for the use of the obtained data on the typology of caravanserais

The newest architecture as an information carrier takes on fresh forms. It reflects the flow of information, fits into the environment, and interacts with the external and internal space. As a result, a new boundary area of architectural activity emerges – «quasi-architecture», which is located between architecture and art, architecture and construction, architecture and multimedia space. The purpose of the study is to consider the features of quasi-architecture and the principles of its organization. The main methods of research are logical, complex system-structural and system approaches, which allow studying this phenomenon in the aggregate and the interaction of its individual parts and classifying the features of its development. The dialectical method that includes analysis and synthesis, made it possible to identify the quasi-architecture mainstream’s patterns. The historical-genetic method showed the origins of conceptual trends. The result of the study characterizes the conceptual directions of one mainstream of the newest architecture – «quasi-architecture». Quasi-architecture reflects the imaginary space; it seems to exist and not exist, being on the verge of reality and unreality.

The article gives the definitions of such concepts as vernacular city, vernacular urbanism and vernacular approach in the study of the origin and development of the historic city. It considers the problems arising in urban settlements as a result of unrestrained spontaneous growth. The impact of uncontrolled multiplication of development of urban peripheries affects the functioning of the whole urban organism. The problems of spontaneous horizontal growth of the city’s territory are considered on the example of Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.

Consideration of the evolution of architecture of the 20-21st centuries through the prism of the world global crises allows us to feel the influence of economic and political cataclysms on the formation of modern architectural theory and practice. Being a kind of mirror, architecture reflects all the current problems that worry and excite the society, so architects have always been deeply involved in crisis problems and have sought to find ways out of them by means of the architectural profession. Each global crisis of the past and present centuries became a turning point in the development of architecture and urban planning, forming new stylistic, conceptual and theoretical trends of modernism, postmodernism and panmodernism. The concept of “panmodernism” indicates the universal nature of modernism, covering all the diversity of architectural mainstreams that arise as a response of architects to the crisis problems of modernity.

Растущий интерес к историко-культурному наследию и развитию туристической деятельности актуализирует значение информационно-коммуникативных средств, позволяющих ориентироваться в сложившемся городском ландшафте и повышающих уровень его комфорта. С этой целью проведен исторический анализ центральных улиц города Курска. В качестве основы организации туристического маршрута рассмотрены элементы структуры пешеходного пространства и определены факторы повышения их привлекательности. Предложены рекомендации по формированию городского интерьера с использованием элементов дизайна и созданием информационно-коммуникативной системы в условиях сложившегося архитектурного облика улиц города Курска.

Research in architectural history is consistently based on three models of the architectural object: classical, monostructural and polystructural. In order to understand the methods and principles of modeling the architectural object, the authors consider the stages of methodological understanding of the model of the artistic object by outstanding philosophers and art historians, who addressed the problems of aesthetic worldview. It is noted that the contemporary architecture, gravitating toward artistic openness, semantic streamlining, polysemy and vagueness, can also be presented as the unity of the natural, artificial and conditional.

The authors consider the consequences of the reduced control over the architectural and urban planning approval of capital construction in Russian cities. The new practice that simplifies the approval procedure will allow to reduce the costs for developers. However, without taking into account the opinion of specialists and citizens, it will provoke mass replication of unattractive cliches, aggressively erasing the traces of architectural identity. In view of the ongoing urbanization in large Russian cities, we can predict the transformation of certain historical buildings into architectural marginal formations forced out by uncontrolled development, which leads to the destruction of the integrity of perception of the cities’ architectural space and the loss of significant landscape components.

The article deals with the theory, the main characteristics of the architectural space and the antagonism of the concepts of “place” and “non-place” on the example of Kursk architecture. The subject of the study is the contradictions in the development of modern cities that, on the one hand, erase their individual features and, on the other hand, demonstrate a significant tendency to appeal to the historical memory of the place. The article actualizes the problem of revealing cultural identity of the place focused on the formation of a sense of belonging to the past, preservation and reconstruction of historical objects, as well as creation of new architecture, which forms a symbiotic unity with the natural and historical context.
