| Title of the article | Classification features of water components and structures in the formation of the architectural environment |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The article is devoted to revealing the experience of formation of architectural and town-planning objects interconnected with water structures. Results. Aquamorphological features of urban spaces of modern times are revealed. Based on the analysis of scientific research and practical experience, a classification of architectural objects interacting with water is suggested: drive object, water-containing object, underwater object, water-structured object, surface object, floating object, water-green plant. The city-forming, ecological, climate-regulating, composition-spatial, form-forming, decorative, resource-saving properties of water used in architecture and town planning are revealed, a table of water effects on the types of architectural and town-planning objects is presented: a drive object, a surface object, an underwater object, a floating object, a water-structured object, a water-containing object, a water-green plant. The main approaches to the creation of aqua-architecture objects are revealed. Conclusions. At the present time a special kind of architecture is being formed, the instrument of which is natural components, in particular water. A wide range of compositional techniques of aqua architecture opens access to unique solutions, radically changing the idea of the possibilities of architectural shaping. Water in architecture includes a wide arsenal of means of humanizing the environment of life. |
