Индустриални пространства

Author(s): Svetoslava Andreychin / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

Industrial buildings, factory buildings, production complexes ... all these facilities are most often associated negatively, еspecially in our country. These terms have a similar or identical meaning, and for a large part of the society, including a certain part of the architectural community, they are bound mainly by the complicated, even ‘scaring’ image of the production process, the huge machines and facilities, and the large, rough buildings that shelter them. Particularly strong emotions (negative or positive) cause the deserted buildings arisen as a reflection of the Industrial Revolution onto Bulgaria dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. For some people – a small community with a strange interest in abandoned buildings called ‘urban explorers’ – these empty buildings are causing the thrill of an extreme experience, for other people – a perfect action movies setting... But for the guardians of our cultural heritage and for those who are addicted to the beauty of industrial architecture these buildings are giving rise to fascination and excitement of the spaces that these large industrial shelters reveal. At the same time their pitiful state is causing anxiety.

Визуализация на продуктов дизайн в 3D Studio MAX или как се прави виртуално фотостудио

Author(s): Yavor Zhablyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

There is a separate segment in 3D computer graphics called product visualization. In general, product visualization includes various activities, such as modeling, animation, lighting, prototyping and shape analysis, technical drawings and sketches, as well as product documentation. This type of visualization has been used a lot lately, especially in the presentation of new electronic products, food, household goods, print advertising, billboards, websites, video networks, television. It turns out that it is much more convenient, and also more cost-effective, to recreate a product in 3D and then visualize it realistically. This gives much more freedom in recreating different, in many cases impossible in reality situations, related to the presented object - for example, levitation, morphing between different forms and other similar special effects. Three-dimensional visualization allows instant change of materials, backgrounds, use of many and varied cameras to recreate different points of view of an object. In many cases, the visualization of a particular product precedes its physical creation. This allows the manufacturer to detect possible defects in it and improve its product on time.This article aims to acquaint the reader with the methods of lighting and composition of product design visualization used in classical photography, and to compare them with the ways of reproducing reality in the three-dimensional software for realistic visualization 3D Studio MAX, as well as to give guidelines for proper sequence of actions in creating a virtual photo studio, by explanation of the main factors for quality and realistic reproduction of three-dimensional product design.

Феноменът „Абстрактно“ – изобразително или реално, асоциации и функции в изграждането на съвременната предметно-материална среда. Пътните знаци

Author(s): Rumen Kozhuharov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

Speaking about the phenomenon of abstract art, we often credit the merits of the first "founder" or "pioneer" in this genre to Vasily Kandinsky. Being one of the earliest artists who used the term "abstract" in the period of development of fine arts, Kandinsky is an artist - theoretician who recreated the Renaissance idea of feeling, the vital, the terrestrial and self-knowledge in his works - distinctive and innovative for the period. Noting the foundations of perception of the abstract and spatial structures, Kandinsky wrote the book "On the Spiritual in Art. Point and line to plane" It will not be a mistake to say that he was the first "pure" artist, who had entirely focused his work on cleansing and simplifying images to the plane, depriving himself of the image due to his belief that excessive specificity prevented his paintings and self-expression. In his theories, Kandinsky offered to the general public a summary of the way in which the work of art is created and put it in the frame of visual composition consisting of two basic elements - the inner - emotional and the outer - accessible element.

Дизайн на музикален клип

Author(s): Christina Dyakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

In the time we live in, music is a cult. The musical style brings with it not only the worldview, but also the whole lifestyle of its listeners. Very often walking on the streets we can see girls with Rihanna's hair or boys dressed as Justin Bieber. But this is by no means a novelty or a fashion - the music that is listened to reflects on the appearance. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, considered to be one of the symbols of the 60's and recognized as the most innovative and popular performers in the history of pop music, are considered to be one of the first major music waves to flood in and create their own style. As a period, the time in which the two bands quickly gained popularity coincided with the mass distribution of television. The performers quickly imposed their own lifestyle, behavior and dress, supporting the idea of avant-garde music of their time

Анатомично недостоверните рисунки от „Пластична анатомия“ на Кр. Чоканов

Author(s): Hristo Ivanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

Regarding the scientific aspect of the anatomical drawing, when it does not correspond to the actual authenticity (anatomical truth), the author considers that such an illustration in itself has no didactic value. In this case, the creative (artistic) aspect is not essential. Even if the drawing has high artistic qualities, they are not able to compensate for the lack of scientific fact. To the extent that a wrong word in the text may confuse readers with insufficient experience and knowledge in plastic or medical anatomy, undoubtedly the same (even to a greater degree) applies to the wrong anatomical drawing.

Линията на очите в произведенията на велики художници

Author(s): Hristo Ivanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

The article shows examples of paintings by Botticelli, Frans Hals and Delacroix, representatives of different eras and styles in the fine arts, in which the authors have made similar inconsistencies. Regardless of the reasons that led to these discrepancies in the spatial positioning of the longitudinal axes of the eyes, this in no way affects the aesthetic appearance, nor does it take away from the beauty of the works of the three world-famous artists.We cannot be sure of the reasons why the artist makes mistakes of this nature - and not once, but we must admit that in other cases he follows the rules of anatomically correct construction of the head.However, it turns out from art history that there are other examples of world-famous artists who make positional-spatial errors of the same nature in their works.

Смисъл и не-смисъл. Съмнението на Сезан

Author(s): Maurice Merleau-Ponty / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 41/2020

Sense and Nonsense (Sens et non-sens) is the first major collection published by MauriceMerleau-Ponty at Editions Nagel in 1948. The triple division of topics dedicated to art,philosophy, and politics will be kept up to his last posthumously published book, Visibleand Invisible (1964). Similarly, his specific theory of art is fostered through the years byhis interest in Cézanne’s life and work. Cézanne’s Doubt is a key text for any philosophydue to the challenging questions it poses ranging from psychoanalysis and depthpsychology to ontology of art, awareness of meaning, predetermination, and freedomborne by the contact of one’s interior and exterior world. With the Doubt we continue toask ourselves: What is that all-encompassing which is expressed by the small word ‘see’?How to grasp the positive sense of creativity? What is that ‘more enigmatic intertwined inthe very roots of being’? (The text appears for the first time in Bulgarian translated fromthe French by prof. Lidia Denkova.)

Не гора, а неоново технологично градско дърво (За изложбата „Пред мен“)

Author(s): Ventsislav Zankov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 41/2020

The author’s exhibition In Front of Me is a visual symbiosis of two themes: two crises intertwined in the human behavior – the ecological one and the social one borne by the pandemic situation that turns into a deeper existential crisis and questioning of the human. The trees represented in large-scale paintings are not a forest but rather some singular entities, bare-stripped crowns strenuously cut into a gloomy sky.
