HARMONISATION OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT BY MEANS OF VISUAL ART, LIGHTING DESIGN, AND ARCHITECTURE

Summary/Abstract: Motives: This study was undertaken to fill in the gap in theoretical knowledge about the challenges associated with transformations in the modern urban environment, the socio-cultural consequences of external changes in the urban landscape, and growing interest in the urban environment as a unique locus of artistic and creative activity.Aim: The purpose of the study was to analyse modern methods of optimising the urban environment by means of visual art, lighting design, landscape architecture, and small architectural forms. Results: A harmonious urban environment was created in Kharkiv through the introduction of sophisticated design elements, art objects, and urban furniture in the architectural context. These elements were integrated to create distinct and high-quality urban recreation areas. Basic modelling principles for optimising the urban environment can be used to analyse and combine the existing methods, and search for new opportunities to implement creative design solutions.
