Temporary local artistic styles of events in contemporary urban design

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

The article identifies the distinctive features of architectural and artistic style formation in contemporary urban design, manifested in the organization of urban spaces and their temporary physical components intended for festive and other socially significant events. The foundation of such style formation lies in the method of temporary local artistic (brand-specific) styles, whose origins can be traced back to industrial design of the early 20th century.
The study examines the prerequisites for the emergence of temporary local artistic event styles in urban design and the evolution of their manifestations — from temporary systems for city environment decoration (20th century) to the development of independent design actions (21st century). A classification of the forms in which temporary local artistic event styles appear in the design of the modern city is proposed, including visual-graphic, object-spatial, and artistic-decorative types.
