Supergraphics as a project and artistic method in design of a modern city

Abstract

Supergraphics in the city design is considered as a special form of artistic synthesis of graphic design and architecture in the process of organizing the built environment of the city at various levels (urban ensemble, architectural object, subject forms). The main stages in the formation and development of a supergraphic approach in the city design are revealed: atectonic color-graphic compositions in the architectural environment (until the middle of the 20th century), architectural supergraphics (the second half of the 20th century), anamorphic three-dimensional images in the pedestrian zones of cities (21th century.), Autonomous dynamic color and light composition in the architecture and subject-spatial environment of the city (modern time). Current trends in the field of artistic synthesis and the foundations of the formation of a supergraphic approach in the design of a city based on the philosophy of traditional architectural supergraphics and the use of the latest technologies of the information society are outlined.
