Architectural and Compositional Concepts of Environmentally Safe Urban Arrangement

Abstract

The architectural and composition concepts of the environment arrangement play an important role in environmentally safe urban formation. In the modern era, there are some actual environmental problems in many of world’s great metropolises. The aim of the study is to identify the existing environmental problems on the example of the city of Almaty and to make conceptual proposals for solving these problems. The article deals with the problems of architectural and compositional methods of solving environmental problems associated with the natural and climatic features of the urban environment. Also, the problems of insolation of residential houses and yard spaces that have appeared as a result of new high-altitude facilities construction close existing buildings are considered. In the study of this problem, the experimental method of the architectural and composition solutions study is proposed. As a result of the study, design models and theoretical concepts are proposed for the reconstruction of existing urban spaces, taking into account environmental safety and natural and climatic features that form the identity of the urban environment. The key conclusion of the study is the expansion of conceptual methods of conducting research activities in educational programs in the training of architects and designers. The main goal of conceptual methods should be: mindset formation and professional training of designers from the standpoint of moderators of human behavior in space. The mindset and professional education of designers is a driving force in solving problems related to improving the quality of life of people in an urban environment.
