Considering human in a circle of its issues ecology assumes the character of the humanitarian science, close to the Sociology and Psychology. Ecology assumes the power of formation of ideas and values. The great role in turning Ecology into the key cultural phenomenon of our time belongs to public, mostly youth, organizations, such as Greenpeace. The appearance of a plurality of directions bordering philosophy is noted, such as: ecosophy, biosophia, deep ecology. Ecology is present in architecture on two levels: conceptual and applied. The conceptual level involves philosophical, cultural, semantic and finally, aesthetic aspects of design. A lot of scientific fields formed at the junction of ecology and philosophy. Among them environmental aesthetics – the direction of aesthetics, studying the aesthetic of the natural environment. The environmental aesthetics is characterized by peculiar categories. Among them are the harmony and expediency. Application of these categories in the design leads to the architecture quality improvement, bringing it closer to the ideal of harmony inherent in the natural environment. |
