Application of neural networks in architectural design

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (85) March, 2024

The article discusses the currently topical issue of neural networks and their applications in architecture. The history of emergence and development of neural networks is overviewed, and the creation of the first prototypes that are functionally close to modern ones is analyzed. The applications of machine learning based on neural networks in the field of architectural design are identified, and a number of the most widely used methods of their use are considered. In conclusion, the methods of using machine learning for algorithmizing architectural design that have already been implemented and are relatively widespread in design consultancies are considered in more detail.

ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF HSBC BRANCH BUILDINGS IN MANCHURIA

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

The article is devoted to the architecture of HSBC Bank in Manchuria in the first half of the 20th century on the example of its surviving branches located in Harbin, Dalian and Shenyang. The background for the construction of bank branches in Manchuria and their activities and adaptation to changes in domestic and foreign policies are briefly considered. The compositional and spatial solutions of the former bank branches are reviewed, and changes in their role in the formation of the street ensembles are highlighted. The architecture of the HSBC bank buildings features a lack of uniform requirements for space-planning, compositional and stylistic solutions distinguishing it from other large banking institutions in Manchuria in the period under review.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF BANKING INSTITUTIONS IN KHARBIN IN THE FIRST THIRD OF THE 20th CENTURY

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №3 (71) September, 2020

The article is devoted to the architecture of Harbin's banking institutions built from 1898 to the mid-1930s. We briefly review the city’s urban planning landscape and the emergence of the banking system in northeast China, which largely determined the architecture of objects of this type and their localization in the urban structure of Harbin. The spatial layout and stylistic features of the bank buildings built in the New Town and Pier districts and in Harbin’s satellite town of Fujadian are examined. The importance of these objects for the development of the city's main streets is emphasized.

MAIN TYPES OF ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE IN GUANGDONG PROVINCE (CHINA) IN THE LATE 19th–EARLY 20th CENTURY

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (64) December, 2018

The article describes the main types of westernized architecture in Guangdong province, which features terraced housing — Qilou, Tonglau, Dawu, Zhutongwu; tower complexes — Dialou and Luju; and walled houses — Weilou, Weiwu and Weicun. Their genesis, planning characteristics, spatial structure, composition and stylistic features are briefly presented, as well as urban conditions for the formation of each of the types of structures under consideration.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF BANKING INSTITUTIONS IN TIANJIN DURING THE PERIOD OF EUROPEAN CONCESSIONS

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (60) December, 2017

The article is devoted to the architecture of banking institutions in Tianjin. A compositional and stylistic analysis has been carried out, and an iconographic description of the buildings of the main banks located within the boundaries of the former European concessions is provided. The influence of their spatial and decorative solutions on the city planning ensemble is considered based on the example of North Jiefang Road located in Heping district. This short review has revealed the main principles of colonial structure form generation during that period: the prevalence of eclecticism which is based on Victorian and, partly, Edwardian architecture; violation of the European architectural canons and use of motives from classical Chinese architecture.
