Theoretical basis and examples of ordination analysis for the training of restoration architects

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

The article provides initial information about architectural ordination that can help identify systemic proportionality of forms in the architectural whole and its parts. Examples are given of how architectural ordinates can be used to detect regulating lines in the structure of vertical and horizontal divisions of façade forms, and recommendations are provided for determining the numerical value of the regulating proportion. A conclusion is drawn about the benefits of studying the theory and practice of architectural ordination in the architectural restoration course in universities.

THE INVARIABILITY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF ARCHITECTURAL ORDINATION

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

Eeurythmic organization of architectural forms is shown using examples of architectural projects from different times. The quantitative and qualitative properties of architectural ordination are presented as an ancient design method and a fundamental category of the theory of architecture. The invariability of the principles of architectural ordination over time is explained by its objective logical-mathematical nature, and the diversity of variants of eurythymia is explained by the subjective way of implementation in space and time. It is concluded that architectural ordination is of enduring value as a civilizational cultural asset.

TOWARDS THE ANNIVERSARIES OF THE URAL STATE UNIVERSITY OF ARCHITECTURE AND ART NAMED FOR N.S. ALFEROV

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

The article is devoted to the history and evolution of Sverdlovsk Architectural Institute, now the Ural State University of Architecture and Art named for N.S.Alferov. It provides a historiographical review of the literature on the history of the university, identifies and analyzes the stages in its evolution, and concludes that in the first quarter of the 21st century, the Ural State University of Architecture and Art maintains its position as the largest architecture and art university in Russia and the only one in the Ural Federal District. This is a complex education, research and creativity institution that provides continuous multi-tiered training, including pre-university foundation courses; bachelor, specialist, master degree programs; doctoral studies, and professional development and retraining.

ORDINATION OF THE MAIN PARAMETERS OF FAÇADE FORMS

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

The article is a search for applications for Rene Descartes theory of graphic representation of numbers to the analysis of proportional construction of façade compositions in classicist architecture. The focus is on the identification of commensurate square fields in planar units facilitating façade form arrangements. The result of the search is contours of planar units related to the spatial and variable-scale aspects of a façade composition analyzed. An example of proportional façade arrangement analysis illustrates the effectiveness and validity of the author's theory of initial linear measures for practical applications. It is demonstrated that contours of planar units may be constructed by geometrical and integer methods, thus confirming the author’s hypothesis of a rational nature of compositional forms in classicist architecture.

A PEOPLE’S ARCHITECT OF RUSSIA AND A SCHOLAR. FOR THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF ALEXANDER A. STARIKOV

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

The article describes the life and scholarly research work of Alexander А. Starikov, rector of the Ural State University of Architecture and Art (Ekaterinburg, Russia) from 1990 to 2011 and holder of the honorary title People’s Architect of Russia. His role on the development of architecture and education and scholarly research is highlighted and his principal research works are analyzed.
