BIONIC PLAY FORMS IN OPEN URBAN SPACES

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

The typological features of bionic design forms in open urban spaces are considered for the first time. International experiences in the designing of such objects are reviewed from the perspective of not only their artistic characteristics but also play functions. The term «bionic play forms» is proposed, and these forms are broken down into play sculptures, play art objects and play landscapes. Arguments are provided in support of the application of bionic design criteria to the construction of a model of interaction between nature, man and urban environment.

COMBINED STRUCTURES AS A BASIS OF CHILDREN'S PLAYING OBJECT FORMS

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

The article considers combined structures, a new principle of form development in spatial design. The characteristics and potentialities of this method for designing children's play environments are reviewed. A correlation analysis of modular and structural principles of form design as a basis for the creation of more complex structures is carried out. Similar approaches and treatments available in the theory are identified. It is emphasized that this approach to form could help diversify children's play environments and fill them with new meanings.
