COURTYARDS NEAR THE WATER. DESIGN FEATURES

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (70) June, 2020

For the first time, the article reviews a large amount of design material dedicated to courtyards near water and identifies the typology of courtyards based on their spatial structure. This type of coastal areas is considered from the perspective of environmental design and its main principle – harmonious coexistence of humans, artificial environment, and nature. The article discusses the principles and approaches to the design of this type of open spaces, and identifies the characteristic features of courtyards in modern residential complexes located near the water in European cities.
