Evolution of animation in user interface design: from decoration to functional communication

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (94) June, 2026

The article analyzes retrospectively and systematizes the stages of animation evolution in digital user interfaces. Unlike works focusing exclusively on web design, this study examines the evolution of animation in the broader context of human-computer interaction (HCI), including desktop GUIs, web interfaces, and mobile platforms. The relevance of the study is due to the transformation of the role of animation from a purely aesthetic element to a key tool for functional communication, attention management, and user experience formation. The aim of the work is to identify patterns and paradigmatic shifts in the use of animation in interface design based on analysis of scientific works and professional practice. The methodology includes historical-genetic analysis, comparative analysis of approaches in different periods of HCI development, and generalization of data from dissertation research and modern scientific publications. Four key stages of evolution are identified: emergence of micro-animation and GUI metaphors (1980s – mid-1990s), the era of "dynamic web" and Flash (late 1990s – late 2000s), functionalization and standardization (2010s), and the modern stage of communicative and predictive animation (2020s). Based on the analysis, promising vectors of development are formulated, including the integration of animation with predictive interfaces and further democratization of creation tools through no-code platforms.

Tectonics of frame systems in the costume of the 15th–19th century

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (90) June, 2025

The article examines the frame systems that formed the silhouette of a women's costume from the 15th to the 19th century. The study focuses on the design features of skirts, which served as a spatial framework and gave the costume a characteristic volume. The work offers a typology of constructive solutions based on historical examples and reveals the principles of tectonic logic underlying the design of the volume of skirts. The types of frame systems of closed and open structures are identified and described: hoop, quilted, folded, tensegrity, mesh, hinged and spiral. The results of the analysis can be applied in the field of modern costume, especially in the field of experimental design that works with shape, volume and silhouette transformation.

DEVELOPMENT OF FORM FOR A MODERN "ENERGY-EFFICIENT" SUIT AND ACCESSORIES

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

Modern art and science have found a common ground through costume design and accessories. Drawing on the methodological basis of science in the field of electronics and nanotechnology, costume and accessory design has dramatically expanded the principles of form development and the materials used. Creative research in the field of "energy-efficient" design is necessary for solving practical problems related to the design, functional aesthetics, ergonomics of elements of modern costume and accessories.
The scope of the study is energy efficiency as the main principle of shaping modern design objects.
The subject-matter of the study is energy efficiency in the design of costumes and accessories. The study aims to consider the principles of form development for an energy-efficient suit and accessories allowing for their technological implementation.
Statement of the problem: relationship between form and content and patterns of change in them depending on the level of technological development.
