Artistic Features of Modern High-Rise Architecture of Sharjah

The article outlines some topical aspects of artistic development of the modern high-rise architecture of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Various socio-cultural and political factors that have a significant impact on the formation of the modern high-rise town-planning structure of the emirate capital are shown. The main features/techniques of the compositional organization of new high-rise objects in Sharjah, defining the present artistic appearance of the city, are identified. The characteristic regional/national features of modern high-rise image building of Sharjah are revealed, and the main figurative themes of its artistic development are also reflected. It is shown that ambitious motivation is a powerful impetus for the emergence and implementation of expensive high-rise urban projects in the capital of the emirate. The analysis of the artistic features of image high- rise objects in Sharjah is made on the basis of the original author's photo material, which has not been published before

Features of inner courtyard spaces in traditional Chinese dwellings and their application in modern regional architectural design

The article examines the formal characteristics and morphotypes of courtyard spaces in traditional Chinese dwellings, including compositional solutions for groups of courtyard spaces. Continuity of such spaces in modern regional architectural creativity is considered. Based on an analysis of several modern Chinese regional architectural projects, the ways of integrating the courtyard spaces of traditional Chinese buildings into a modern architectural context are discussed. Examples are provided, showing the reconstruction and metaphorical reinterpretation of both individual spaces and combined structures of group spaces of courtyards in the context of integration of modern architectural creativity with traditional national and regional architecture

The embodiment of the ecological concept and climatic adaptability in the spatial structure of the traditional chinese dwelling with a courtyard

The article analyzes the logic and distinctive features of the structural construction of traditional Chinese dwellings with a courtyard. A detailed comparison of various types of such dwellings located in different geographical and climatic regions of China allows us to identify their compositional features and unique architectural solutions. The focus of the study is on the ecological principles and strategies of climatic adaptation of various compositional types of courtyards that allowed them to effectively cope with climatic challenges over centuries. Attention is drawn to the basic philosophical concept of harmonious coexistence of man with nature, which underlies the design of optimal types of traditional Chinese dwellings, particularly to passive methods of architectural design that contribute to environmental sustainability and climatic adaptation of these dwellings

Revisiting the structure of the architectural image as a key category of architecture

The article deals with architectural image structure in the context of various types of form and compositional techniques employed to impart architectural objects originality and artistic expressiveness, and systematic compositional analysis of works of architecture. The study considered the specifics of architectural object perception regarding their imagery. A comparative analysis of architectural works and their morphological prototypes from the position of the figurative typology of architectural and other forms was performed to identify the prerequisites for the formation of their artistic image (or a complex of figurative characteristics)

Inventive creativity in architecture: the «forward» and «backward» pathway to creating patentable solutions

The paper presents the authors’ approach to the methodology of sectoral inventive activity, supported by specific examples of how inventive challenges may be solved for various typological groups of architectural and construction objects. The concepts of "forward" and "backward" pathways to creating spot-on inventive solutions in architecture and construction are formulated. The methodological contents and features of these concepts are defined with regard to their practical implementation for obtaining patentable solutions. It is concluded that these techniques need to be taught to architecture and civil engineering students to increase the competitiveness of graduates in the profession and intensify innovation activities in these industries
