The purpose of the study was to identify liked and disliked aesthetic characteristics among student groups with different academic backgrounds. The research involved students from various academic backgrounds, including the Departments of Architectural, Civil, Electrical Engineering, and the Department of Arabic Language. The study employed an appropriate factor analysis method to accurately assess the aesthetic quality. The study found that students’ academic backgrounds significantly affect their aesthetic sense. Architecture students have a strong ability to evaluate works of art and engineering projects effectively. Some aesthetic characteristics, such as movement, harmony, and simplicity, are preferred across all student groups, while others, such as excessive complexity and rigidity, are disliked. The research also suggests that designers should consider the preferences of different resident groups when creating environments. Furthermore, the study found that most student groups, except for architecture students, exhibit great admiration for Western architectural styles with contemporary, non-traditional characteristics. Overall, the study provides new insights into the aesthetic preferences of students in residential environments and identifies visually desirable and undesirable attributes that most students agree upon.","PeriodicalId":36968,"journal":{"name":"Project Baikal","volume":"110 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The uniqueness of this work lies in the critical approach to the process of implementing in practice of the main urban planning concept, which was formed in the late 1920s in connection with the adopted course of forced industrialization of the country. During the survey, all the components of the concept of “socialist cities” were carefully analyzed, including planning features, typology of housing and principles of “socialization of life”, social composition of the population, departmental affiliation, etc. The boundaries of the implementation of these policies imposed by life itself were revealed, which ultimately led to the actual destruction of the concept. At the same time, the article shows that the authors’ attempts to formulate their own principles of organizing people’s lives, based on the changed “spirit of the times” of the second half of the 1930s, already contained new boundaries of unrealization.","PeriodicalId":36968,"journal":{"name":"Project Baikal","volume":"29 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136157515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is no coincidence that topology is called the analysis of place. Geometry and topology have had a strong effect not only on physics, crystallography and molecular chemistry, but also on architecture and other humanities, in particular on the psychology of visual perception. “Topophilia” by Yi-Fu Tuan is a bridge that creates the possibility of moving from mathematics and topology to the humanities. However, the use of the concepts of ‘place’ and ‘genius of place’ in the humanitarian sphere in general and in architecture in particular remains at the level of sentimental mythology and phenomenology. Introducing the understanding of the value of place and ‘genius loci’ into the mass consciousness is impossible without rituals related to the life and death of architecture.","PeriodicalId":36968,"journal":{"name":"Project Baikal","volume":"84 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is concluded that the predominance of the Genius of Place forms a gravitation towards sedentarisation and diversity of local architectural forms. The predominance of the Spirit of the Time stimulates the development of uniform international architectural styles that ignore the peculiarities of landscape and scenery. During the twentieth century, the development of architecture was mainly shaped by the Spirit of Time, which gave rise to a multitude of “small styles”, each of which aggressively claims a dominant, monopolistic role on a global scale, but actually exists for a very short time and is quickly replaced by the next fashionable style, equally short-lived. The last “big” style built on a deep philosophical and attitudinal basis is the style of “brutalism – deconstructivism”, which was able to achieve a balance between the Genius of Place and the Spirit of the Time.","PeriodicalId":36968,"journal":{"name":"Project Baikal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
