Integruotas architektūrinės aplinkos mastelis ir jo išraiškos transformavimas

Abstract

Relationship of new structural objects with the existing ones is an urgent problem in Lithuanian cities and towns, especially in old town zones. In this respect an analysis of the effect of architecture and of its perception is of significance. In this article the above problems are analized making the importance of architectural scale, as a composition cathegory, more absolute. A theoretical approach has been established that elements of a completely different architectural scale may produce an expression of an integrated architectural scale. This is represented by a complex scale which reveals itself when elements of varying scales, their group combinations are joined into an organically integral composition. Conscious or intuitive creation of an expression of a complex (integrated) architectural scale provides for a strong and sharp composition. By expanding the range of scale expression an entire urbanized zone can be perceived as a composition of different scale elements, i. e. buildings, arranged in space! The following approach to an integrated (complex) architectural scale of environment is declared: from certain observation points the whole environmental complex can reveal itself owing to the phenomenon of the formation of an integrated architectural scale of environment. Environmental perception is determined by relationship among different frames of an architectural composition. This relationship, as a rule, is of greater importance than a local architectural expression of separate objects. Therefore, in designing a new structural object, its architectural expression should be considered with a certain transformation of the very means of expression and the expression of architectural scale, with a transformation calculated for a desired perceptional expression in a specific zone from concrete abservation points.
