Application of the socio-cultural approach in design research on preschool educational environment on the example of the European region

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (93) March, 2026

Global trends in design are often aimed at finding targeted solutions that reflect the idea of preserving national identity. Russia's socio-cultural landscape has historically been shaped at the intersection of European and Asian cultures, so modern approaches to organizing the environment of public and social institutions in our country may rely to some extent on the design experience of European or Asian countries, taking into account regional specifics. Since the concept of childhood cannot be considered outside of the sociocultural sphere, it is also important to consider the cultural and stylistic relevance of preschool education facilities in design studies. This study aims to systematize project approaches to the organization of preschool educational institutions' environments, taking into account the traditions of perceiving the expressive properties of the environment that are characteristic of the culture of European countries. The study of educational spaces is based on classical theories of color and non-verbal communication.

Principles of organization of the digital communication environment in the kindergarten interior

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (88) December, 2024

Digitalization in the new millennium has naturally covered all spheres of human social activity: as a child grows up, media resources are becoming not only a means of obtaining information, but also a tool of social interaction. The educational system in Russia is currently in the process of transition from traditional methods of organizing educational activities to innovative methods with the active introduction of interactive technologies. Despite a number of objective problems, such as the relatively high cost of modernization, the lack of qualified teachers, and, for the most part, the lack of an interdisciplinary approach to the organization of the environment as a whole, the use of digital technologies is regarded as an important factor in the development of education, including preschool. In practical terms, digitalization involves creating an environment that meets the needs of the younger generation, including specialized technical equipment for educational institutions. We consider principles that underlie the design of interior spaces in kindergartens of a new format with the use of digital equipment allowing for current trends in the design of such institutions.
