Architectural ecology of the city Automatic translate

For many decades, our country has been living on the remains of the former glory of our architects. The brightest period was the period of constructivism. It was the constructivists who contributed to the world architecture system. They gave the status of a strong, new-thinking power. Returning to our days, it is safe to say that most of the world’s modern architecture, one way or another, turns to the constructivists.

The ideological and multiple variability of constructivism allows us to draw modern forms and large-scale architecture. In those days, when the strong side of the idea was supported by the institutes of knowledge, a strong school and strict teaching, the principles of the architectural ecology of the city were also maintained. Let’s try to figure out what it is. The concept itself as a separate topic exists relatively recently. The consequence is chaos in the buildings and the imbalance of the old and the new. At the turn of the emergence of Russia as a new country, the housing construction complex worked clearly and harmoniously.

State control strengthened influence; it also often determined the orientation in architecture. Prefabricated houses, typology, all this exists today. A modern architect is often enclosed within a customer’s framework. The principles of building harmony in most buildings are practically absent. There are several key tasks like material return, height and maximum saving of materials and labor. Following these rules, the quality of architecture ceases to interest the architect. It turns out a paradox. The customer pays, the architect designs a low-quality product. Generations are born living among this wretched architecture. Improper perception of the environment is brought up. Based on this, the taste of the customer, who reaches the age of maturity, is based on what he has grown up among.

A good moment, if the environment educates, there is an opportunity for knowledge of the outside world. Today, the architectural ecology of a city, metropolis or village is leaning towards economic benefits. A striking example these days is a large part of any yard of any city. It is worth looking out of the window, as you can understand in what environment most of the inhabitants of our country live.

Lack of perspective from the window, lack of courtyard recreational areas, parking spaces. All this violates the architectural ecology. The height of buildings due to the lack of territories for development also gives rise to the planting of uniformity and grayness of buildings. Society is used to living under the law of the urban jungle. Namely, the environment brings up character, the ecology of architecture and the environment brings up a certain type of person in a person.

Education helps us understand the environment. But if you don’t instill or educate the principle, it is better less, but better, then plastic, and the form will remain only in the textbooks of architecture. And the principles of architectural ecology will become a museum term in modern society.
