METROLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SIBERIAN CITY FABRIC USING KRASNOYARSK AS AN EXAMPLE

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (76) December, 2021

Designing in a historical city is a work of special complexity and a vital necessity. Therefore, a rich palette of research methods is needed to explore the existing urban fabric and design its development and integration into modern life. Urban morphology and metrological analysis in particular offers an effective methodological apparatus based on existing urban fabric "reading", which has shown effectiveness in different historical territories around the world even if the original meanings or the original historical materials are not available. In this paper, the effectiveness of metrological analysis with reference to the fabric of the Siberian historical city is illustrated through establishment of regular patterns in land plot configurations and sizes and corresponding social processes that underlie their emergence, evolution and interaction. The use of this type of analysis to identify the internal logic of changing relationships between the interrelated elements of the city organism is potentially able to inform architectural practice on its way to preserving the identity of cities.

ON METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF URBAN ENVIRONMENT COMFORT APPLICABLE IN ARCHITECT’S WORK, WITH REFERENCE TO THE CITY OF ZHELЕZNOGORSK

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (74) June, 2021

The quality of the urban environment has a direct impact on humans. The criteria for assessing the qualities of the urban environment are extensive and not always measurable. The purpose of this study was to find and test methods to measure urban environment qualities that can be used by architects when working in an urban space. Urban typomorphology parameters and methods were picked out in the literature, and these then were used to analyze a specific territory to find the building parameters that are preferable for conservation and use in the development of urban areas. The study sets out sizes of urban elements and distances between them, as well as their decorative characteristics which, among other factors, can positively influence a person.
