Integrated Design of the Architectural Environment by Combining Architectural, Design and Technical Solutions

Abstract

The article deals with integration processes and interdisciplinary interaction of architecture, design, art and engineering disciplines. The features of the modern stage, as well as the experience of Russian and foreign methodological developments, are noted. A method of complex (multilevel) design of objects and systems of the architectural environment is proposed, which has been tested at the Institute of Architecture and Design of the Polzunov Altai State Technical University for more than fifteen years. The method includes four major stages: “Verbal Design”, “Conceptual Design”, “End-to-End Multi-Level Design”, “Integration of Design Levels. These four stages include nine methodological steps: Selection of marker words, Formulating a project motto, Drawing up an identification code, Determining compositional means and techniques Binding style identifiers to media, Development of the architectural environment fragments, Clarification of compositional techniques from the area of “Action”, Clarification of the design concept and making adjustments to the system of architectural environment fragments system, Issuance of an internally agreed complex design project. Selection of relevant identifiers, such as “Light”, “Color”, “Texture”, “Shape”, taking into account promising information and interactive technologies in the design of the architectural environment. We indicate the approbation of our method at different stages of its formation, including modernity, on the example of a complex architectural and design project for a medical institution: the Altai Regional Diagnostic Center in Barnaul city, Russia.
