Integration Processes in Modern Design and Art Culture

Abstract

The paper is to comprehend the experience of design and artistic shaping in environmental design as an integral phenomenon. Artistic and synthetic foundations of design practices, where figurative-content and spatial-plastic connections are given a central place, determine the vector of design research in a holistic relationship with spatial and plastic arts. The authors consider the integration processes in project culture using the example of environmental design. The paper outlines modern approaches to art and design organization of space, where axiologically-oriented design thinking of a designer and understanding of the continuity of artistic traditions in shaping the spatial environment are of critical value. In this context, a new quality is given to the natural conformity and the place of conformity of design solutions, taking into account architectural asset of the area and architectural environmental scenario. The study demonstrates that design and artistic integration processes represent a new and complex design synthesis, determining integrity of the environment and aesthetic shaping. The design and artistic synthesis allows expressing the concepts, values, creative intentions and perceptual actions of the designer and establishing connections with historical and cultural reality which enables us to consider the definition of “project-artistic synthesis” as a holistically structured system in the existence of project culture.
