Laying groundwork for the development of a salutogenic architecture design method in the context of physical activity

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (84) December, 2023

The purpose of the research work is to model behavior control through spatial organization for developing a method of salutogenic architecture design. At this stage of research, we use an interpretive method to summarize interdisciplinary knowledge about the influence of spatial organization on human behavior and the psychophysiology of space perception in the context of behavioral choice in order to identify spatial configurations that promote salutogenic behavior. The main conclusions of the research work are presented as generalized principles of architectural environment development that promote increased motor activity. The results of the study open further research venues for the development of the above-mentioned design method.

Application of sustainable architecture principles in buildings of innovative research and production facilities

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №3 (83) September 2023

In the era of information society, science and technology keep developing at rapid pace along with a growing number of innovative R&D facilities, whose role in society is increasing and their typology becoming more complex. The study considers architectural and planning solutions for buildings involved in different innovative activities. A review of such implemented projects across Russia and other countries revealed their urban planning significance and their distinctive architectural, planning, spatial, functional and energy-efficiency features as examples of application of sustainable architecture principles.

Formation features of the transparency concepts in western contemporary architectural theory

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №3 (83) September 2023

The article examines the history of the concepts of transparency in the 20th century architectural theory. The meaning of transparency in architecture is as broad as that in social sciences, avant-garde art, and philosophy. Mutual enrichment between disciplines has led to the fact that the category of transparency in architecture remains undefined. Its further analysis requires a systematic description of the meanings of this category.
The paper presents a chronological analysis of the history of the concepts of transparency in contemporary western architectural theory taking into account the social prerequisites and theoretical foundations for their emergence. Stages in the evolution of these concepts are outlined, and related approaches to understanding transparency in the theory of western architecture throughout the 20th century are reviewed.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR MENTAL HEALTH CENTERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (80) December, 2022

The article reviews international experiences in the designing of in-patient medical institutions: hospitals, medical centers, health centers, social welfare centers, psychiatric rehabilitation centers, centers for people with disabilities, mental health centers. Current trends in the design of these typologies in the form of spatial and functional models are identified. A concept of mental health center is introduced.
