Diana Baibak — 2024-03-13

This research is aimed at the spatial provision of a healthy lifestyle for citizens, which is one of the important tasks of today according to the concept of sustainable development and relevant government guidelines. As a part of effective architectural and urban planning measures, the work identifies the creation of functional and aesthetic conditions for the implementation of physical activity among the population, specifically sports and leisure. The research has justified the relevance of forming open sports and recreational facilities, sports and leisure complexes (SLC), which create spatial conditions not only for physical activity but also for enhancing social interaction among the population. It is emphasized that significant attention is currently given to the development and design of the environment of these objects in Ukraine, positively impacting the aesthetic qualities of urban districts. The research problem lies in the insufficient study of the characteristics of urban planning organization of these objects within the structure of established urban spaces. The analysis of scientific works on this issue has proved the expediency of deepening the knowledge in the specified aspect. Purpose. This work aimed to determine the features of forming sports and leisure complexes within the structure of residential areas, depending on the nature of residential buildings that have evolved during different historical periods. Methodology. In this study, various methods were employed, including data synthesis from scientific sources and regulatory frameworks; empirical research methods (observation, measurement, comparison) during the on-site examination of urban spaces; iconographic analysis when investigating project-practical experience in forming the SLC; cartographic analysis in studying the planning features of residential development across different historical periods; logical and graphical modeling. The investigation of residential development was conducted in Kharkiv city. Results. Three main types of SLCs have been identified based on their size and equipment characteristics. Using the example of the city of Kharkiv, the possibilities of placing the researched facilities within the structure of residential development are examined across three periods: the 1930’s–1940’s, the 1950’s–1970’s, and the 1980’s–1990’s. These periods differ in morphological characteristics and spatial resources for the formation of various types of modern sports and leisure complexes. Scientific novelty. Conclusions have been drawn regarding the feasibility of the formation of first and second types of SLCs in shared areas within courtyard spaces of mass residential developments, as well as the implementation of second and third types of SLCs within the structure of landscaped open public spaces (mainly parks) or on vacant spaces. Practical relevance. This work will be useful as an effective tool for developing projects aimed at shaping the sports and leisure environments of cities, as well as serving as an informational resource for investors.

TWO SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS: CONCRETE PAVEMENT DAMAGE AND REPAIR FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF DESIGN OPTIMIZATION (BIM MODELING) AND MODIFIED CONCRETE MATERIALS

Maria Serhiivna Barabash — 2024-03-13

Abstract. With the rapid development of the global economy and the accelerated pace of global integration, the pressure on transportation is increasing in all countries of the world, including, of course, in Ukraine. The existing concrete often fails to meet the expected service life and quality, which means that roads have to be rebuilt as well as a lot of road repair work, which undoubtedly increases the government’s financial expenditures and workload. There are a number of ways of solving these problems, the most frequently used and effective of which is the use of computer software for computational simulation of the road construction environment, monitoring and modification of concrete materials. Purpose. The goal of this paper is to start from the above two directions and propose two solutions to solve the problem of simulation of soil characteristics in road construction and optimization of road materials. Methodology. The research methodology is mainly based on theoretical research method and experimental method. Results. The article draws the following two results through theoretical analysis and experimental methods: a model for measuring soil characteristics using LIRA-SAPR software and the possibility and dosage of basalt fiber modified cement concrete. Scientific novelty. This article proposes for the first time a soil property modeling method based on the Winkler- Fuss and Pasternak soil models using the software LIRA-SAPR. For the first time, the performance of two specific basalt fibers from China and Ukraine were tested and verified the reinforcing effect and dosage of basalt fibers produced in Ukraine for concrete. Experiments have proven that adding 2% basalt fiber will make cement concrete have better performance. Practical relevance. The proposed modeling methodology helps to optimize the design to ensure structural stability and safety, and the in-depth knowledge of soil conditions helps to plan the construction phases more accurately, which helps to control costs and reduce delays. The response results of concrete modified with basalt fibers can be used in practical projects to enhance pavement strength.

REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF BEAUTY IN THE FORMATION OF SACRED SPACE OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Liliia Gnatiuk — 2024-03-13

The development of the concept of beauty from the times of pagan Ancient Rome and Greece to Christian Rome and Athens and to the present is analyzed. From elevation to functionality. The opinions of leading theorists of culture are presented. Features characteristic of the culture of the 20th century are represented. The architecture of sacred buildings built according to the principle of traditional forms, as well as the symbolic meaning of the work of art, are considered. It was determined that the objects created at that time, despite their modern appearance, their interpretation as an area of rational satisfaction of purely material and technical needs, solving utilitarian tasks, bear the semantic features of traditional temples. It was found that the defense of the position of beauty and art at that time focused on arguments that were easy to refute. Cooperation with artists became a sign of rejection of the modernist thesis that architectural activity is constructive or research- scientific rather than artistic. A tendency towards historical and traditional reminiscences has been revealed. Goal. To reveal the peculiarities of the representation of the concept of beauty in the formation of the sacred space of the 20th century. Methodology. Theoretical research methods, analysis of foreign experience in building temples were used. The grapho-analytical method is applied. The results. Identification of the features of the representation of the concept of beauty in the formation of the sacred space of the 20th century. Scientific novelty. The view that beauty and adornment in certain theories of that time did not have transcendental causes is presented. Although individual elements of decoration were intended to tame sensuality. Practical significance. The forms of individual sacred buildings and methods of organizing their interiors in modern forms, which can be used in the further development of temple architecture, are analyzed. The use of the metaphorical language of architecture based on the world of visual human products and their iconographic distinctive features is considered. The need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and the messages transmitted through them in shaping the sacred space has been revealed.

AESTHETICS OF GLAMOR IN THE DESIGN OF MODERN MEN’S SUIT: SEARCH FOR NEW FIGURATIVE AND STYLISTIC SOLUTIONS

Viktoriia Budiak — 2024-03-13

Design is characterized by the influence of various social and cultural phenomena and their conceptual embodiment, in particular in costume. Glamor is one of the most expressive phenomena of our time, the massive interest in which is primarily due to fashion trends. Articles of clothing as carriers of visual identification of glamor are associated with typical figurative and associative characteristics, means of shaping, principles of decorative solutions, and the structural organization of the costume form in general. A retrospective analysis of the patterns of formation of the glamor style in clothing demonstrates the path of original formal and constructive transformations, is perceived as a metaphor for the artistic representation of human appearance and indicates the increasing role of the stylizing function of the costume. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to identify the stylistic and formative manifestations of glamor in modern men’s costume. Methodology. The study uses a comprehensive and systematic approach. The analysis of the processes of formation and development of glamor as a phenomenon and style of dress was based on an interdisciplinary approach and a comparative analysis of scientific historical, cultural and art historical sources. The general theoretical and systemic-historical approaches made it possible to trace the evolution of the glamor style in men’s costume. The method of figurative and stylistic analysis was applied to the study of the features of glamorous samples. Thanks to this, the objectively existing practice of borrowing and retrospecting images, structures, cutting techniques, principles of shaping in the interpretation of glamor as a leading conceptual direction in the practice of contemporary design was established. Using the method of typologization, the structures and typologies of glamorous men’s costume images are revealed. Results. The conducted research makes it possible to determine the most characteristic structural and figurative-stylistic features of the formation of a glamorous men’s suit to design promising forms of modern clothing in the style of glamor. The scientific novelty of the research results is that for the first time a holistic scientific approach has been proposed that theoretically substantiates the processes of glamorization of men’s fashion and the search for new figurative and stylistic solutions. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the content of the analytical part of the study and its main results can be used in the professional training of designers in the higher education system of Ukraine to improve the quality of design and artistic solutions in the process of developing fashion collections that meet the aesthetic needs of contemporaries.

MEN’S FASHION IN THE CONTEXT OF ECO-SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PRODUCT CONSUMPTION PRACTICES (PROJECT EXPERIENCE)

Vladyslava Hurdina — 2024-03-13

Modern men’s fashion is a unique branch of designer creativity and is no less popular than women’s fashion. But so far it is poorly represented in the scientific literature and needs more detailed research. The article aims to identify modern methods in the field of ecological design, which can be applied in the design of men’s clothing, as well as to explore the interaction between men’s fashion trends and ecological design concepts. Purpose. The article analyzes the scientific literature on ecological design in general and eco-design of clothes in particular. Methodology. The main challenges and methods of ecological clothing design and their relevance in men’s fashion are traced via the classification method. Using the method of visual comparison, fashion trends for men’s clothing for the spring of 2024 were analyzed and those that can be used in eco-oriented design practices were identified. With the help of the experimental method, a project experience of working with students was carried out in the framework of ecological design of men’s clothing, focusing on fashion trends and explained in the article. Results. The article found that the design of men’s eco-friendly clothing appeals to the same methods as women’s clothing: upcycling, recycling, use of natural materials, environmental advocacy, etc. However, ecological approaches are much less common in the design and production of men’s clothing, as well as in fashion shows at fashion weeks, than in women’s clothing. Scientific novelty. The topic of ecological design of men’s clothing is currently less developed than that of women’s clothing. This applies to both design practices and research. The article outlines fashion trends in which the use of ecological design methods would be appropriate. Practical significance. The results of the study and the principles of ecological design can be implemented in students’ project assignments. It is important to educate future fashion designers about environmental awareness.

Yury Kovalyov — 2024-03-13

Purpose. Establish the structure and state of human consciousness as the basis for defining focus groups in design, taking into account the stages of its evolutionary and life cycle. Methodology. The mathematical basis is the axiomatic wave model of S-space. Modeling the evolution of consciousness and the life cycle – the theory of self-organization of open complex systems. Determination of the structure of consciousness and psychotypes – the scenario (1S, 1O) of self-organization. Verification and calibration of models – comparative analysis of works of art of different eras; humanities and natural sciences data. Results. Theoretical – correlations between channels of human interaction with the environment, structure of consciousness, psychotypes, social stratification of society, needs, stylistic and other features of design for different focus groups. Practical – examples of correlations between the needs of focus groups (or individual customers taking into account their psychological portraits) and design concepts of objects and products. Scientific novelty. Methods, models, specifications and correlations between components of the environment-design object-designer-consumer system. Practical relevance. Formalization and optimization of the definition of needs, selection and evaluation, substantiation of the design concept (relation of the design object to the environment, style, functionality, transformability, volume-planning solutions, provision of sensory comfort), optimization of the design sequence.

INCLUSIVENESS IN SHAPING THE LANDSCAPE FOR AN EQUAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Tetiana Malik — 2024-03-13

Purpose. Objective To assess and clarify the crucial role of inclusiveness in the formation of a fair educational environment. It delves into the fundamental notion that education should be a universal right available to all, regardless of their background, ability or personality. Methodology. The article uses general scientific research methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization. To study the state of inclusiveness in the landscape design of the territories of higher education institutions, the methods of content analysis and expert evaluations were used. A methodology for improving the accessibility and inclusiveness of the campus landscape is outlined. Results of the study reveal the dominant inconvenience of the current state of the territories of educational institutions in Ukraine. The existing structures of the landscape area become a challenge for people with disabilities, despite the mandatory requirement for inclusive planning. The idea of inclusion, which arose as a result of the awareness of the value of human diversity and differences between people, excludes any discrimination and reflects one of the main features of a democratic society: all people are valuable members of society and have equal rights, in particular to receive education, despite the peculiarities of their psychophysical development This discrepancy highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive reform of the design and planning of educational spaces. Scientific novelty of the article consists in the justification and necessity of taking into account inclusive principles in the design of the territories of colleges and institutions of higher education, and consists in the study of specific aspects of landscape design, as well as the use of new technologies and innovative approaches. A significant innovation in the campus landscape regarding inclusiveness in creating an equitable educational environment is the implementation of the principles of universal design for learning, which focuses on designing educational spaces, materials, and practices to meet the needs of a wide range of students, including those with disabilities. Such an article can be useful for the formation of an effective university policy and program on inclusiveness.

THE ARTISTIC POTENTIAL OF IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN UKRAINIAN DESIGN

Viktoriia Mulkokhainen — 2024-03-13

Purpose. The research purpose is to determine the role of immersive technologies (augmented, virtual, mixed and extended reality technologies) in creating an artistic image of relevant contemporary Ukrainian design projects. Methodology. The study is based on a methodological system that includes generalization, comparison, induction, deduction, analogy, as well as theoretical and analytical methods. Results. The artistic representation of design projects endowed with immersive features is carried out simultaneously at several levels by layering various features of artistic expression. At the same time, the traditional compositional, coloristic, stylistic, textural, and other tools of artistic expression are supplemented by innovative ones, provoked by a complex synthesis of different components within one project: dynamic, interactive, and multimedia. Moreover, semantic features, which come to the fore in that interpretation (e.g., the works of digital fashion model designers), are often involved in the development of the artistic image of an immersive-modified project. Thus, the artistic image acquires, in addition to visual characteristics, sound, semantic and dynamic ones, which no less actively affect the audience’s perception by enhancing or suppressing the visual effect. As a result, the same visual effect, with or without the support of immersive technologies, can convey a completely different project idea. Scientific novelty. The present article demonstrates an innovative approach to assessing rapid innovations in Ukrainian design, which is a response to global technological trends. In particular, the authors put forward a model for constructing the artistic and design image of the relevant works in the context of the active implementation of immersive technologies. It is a multi-layered structure of the internal interaction of specific visual factors and their impact on the viewer. Practical relevance involves the timely analysis of current trends, which can both guide practitioners in the dynamic field of contemporary design activity and specify the vectors of subsequent transformations that have potential to succeed.

The author’s series of costumes by L. Semikina from the collections of 1960–1990 is a vivid and convincing evidence of how a modern artist-designer, turning to the inexhaustible source of ideas, images and forms of the cultural heritage of Ukraine, finds new forms of spiritual and aesthetic continuity. Her original outfits are an innovative form of designer’s approach to the problem of rethinking the ethnic features of the costume, from historical stylizations to mythopoetic reconstructions. In the context of the problem of the analysis of the ethnic morphology of clothing, L. Semikina’s work is an attempt to spiritually reproduce the constructive and sacral function of the costume, with a consistent reflection of the design idea in the material. Scientific novelty. The unknown facts of the creation of L. Semikina’s author’s collections and unpublished ethnic costumes from the artist’s private collection have been introduced into scientific circulation; the artistic analysis of the figurative and plastic solution of costumes from the 1960–1990 collections were carried out; the specificity of the artistic interpretation of historical and national motifs in author’s clothing models was revealed. Practical relevance. The results of the research will be useful to scientists and scientific and pedagogical workers in the process of researching the cultural and artistic movement of nonconformism in Ukraine, studying the ethnostylistics of Ukrainian author’s costumes, and teaching specialized disciplines in fashion design. For designers, the conducted research has a purely practical value in creating modern clothes using ethnic motifs.

DESIGN SPECIFICS OF CUTOUT ANIMATION IN THE ADOBE ANIMATE PROGRAM

Khrystyna Andriivna Petrushevska — 2024-03-13

Abstract. Cut out animation is a simple and oldest type of animation, which is inextricably linked to the Chinese shadow theater. It’s a type of stop motion animation that uses cutouts or flat pieces for characters, props, and backgrounds. Unlike other types of animation that come from stop motion and have volume like puppets, in the cutout everything is flat and gives the appearance of 2D. As in all stop motion sub-techniques, the character is animated frame by frame. Cutout animation was first used in a short film in 1906. At least that’s the first record we have. The silent film is known as Humorous Phases of Funny Faces and belongs to the British director James Stuart Blackton. With the development of computer technology, this type of animation received a new life. Despite its long history, cut out animation has not lost its relevance and is actively used in animation studios around the world. Doing it in the program is much more convenient, because all elements can be created immediately in the program without wasting extra materials, you can also import any image created in another program, or simply a scanned element created by hand from classic materials such as cardboard and paper. Adobe Animate works with a system of layers and symbols for ease of animation. Symbols can be divided into individual layers, and each symbol can contain several others. Each symbol has its own timeline. This extensive system allows you to work in detail with each individual element and with the complete object. The purpose is to investigate the historical development of cut-out animation; to identify the specific features of cut-out animation in Adobe Animate program. Methodology. The article uses traditional scientific methods of historical analysis, comparative analysis, the method of system-structural analysis. Results. The historical development of cut-out animation was studied, the specifics of modern cut-out animation in the Adobe Animate program were revealed. Scientific novelty. The principle of operation of the Adobe Animate program with cut animation is considered. Practical significance. This material can be used in the cultural and educational process in the training of graphic designers.
