The basic trends in the formation of the specific artistic and imaginative solutions of stained glass windows and their stylistic characteristics were scrutinized. An attempt to trace a number of common features of the works, especially image-plastic methods of image formation, the thematic orientation of the compositions, the use of additional means of expression and technological innovation in the monumental stained glass windows.The second half of the twentieth century is marked by rapid development and popularization of the art of stained glass in the background of a general rise of monumental art of Ukraine.

The relevance of the study and analysis of stained glass artists of Kiev is due to the fact that an important part of the overall process of formation of monumental art in Ukraine, but this topic is only briefly discussed in the comprehensive study of Soviet monumental and decorative art and contemporary art history sources. The aim of the article is the definition of art features the image- making in plastic stained glass O. Gnedash, A. Medynsky, S. Odaynyka and their common features.In the 70- 80s of the twentieth century, stained glass windows art in Kiev artists traced desire discover new artistic quality stained glass and find the ideological concept of the individual author and language work. At this time stained glass art has significantly strengthened its position as a separate branch of monumental art, and not surprisingly, young artists enthusiastically conquered relatively new area of artistic life in Kiev. It should also be noted that in the 70 years of Kiev an monumental use all available opportunities to enrich the classical technique of stained glass. This explains the diversity of artistic and expressive means used in monumental stained glass windows works of that period of time. We can assume that a significant role in shaping the author's artistic language learning these artists played in Kiev Art Institute under the guidance of renowned painters T. Yablonska and V. Chekanyuk.Overall monumental art of 70-80 years, which features an active creative research in the field of art of stained glass, is significant by its significant expansion of the tasks and functions and, consequently, artistic and expressive means of monumental and decorative art. In such works are used items that are traditional for easel painting such as: complex subject compositions, spatiality, using painting techniques and early 70's lyrical direction of propagation, which to some extent determines the peculiarity of Ukrainian monumental art of that era.Having considered the aforementioned famous works of artists it is possible to identify a number of common features. Firstly it is particular vision of the classic techniques of monumental stained glass as the picture plane, but the careful application of structural design of forms and clear compositional structure. Shape cutting glass is executed in the unity of the picture, but the rhythmic sections of contour lines only emphasize the priority role of painting techniques, colorful patterns and chiaroscuro composition plane. Additional means of expression can note the use of texture; rhythm glass elements combine in the development of artistic images of different artistic and plastic tools. For example in the interpretation of the shape of the human figures executed with tone and color ratios of glass and metal connecting line, and partially used sufficiently detailed three-dimensional development of individual parts, which in turn can be compared to painting techniques, while describing in detail the main elements or plans and secondary parts are performed collectively.In the works of artists O.

Curtea domnească de la Suceava între statutul de sit arheologic protejat şi necesitatea de dezvoltare utilitară a oraşului

Author(s): Monica Dejan,Ștefan Dejan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 25/2017

The paper presents the importance of the archaeological site represented by the Princely Court from Suceava (Suceava County, Romania) which was mentioned for the first time in written sources at the end of the 14th century. During the Middle Ages, when Suceava was the residence seat of the Moldavian rulers (until the 16thcentury), a Princely Court, two fortresses and many churches were built here. A part of these medieval constructions have survived until now. This remarkable heritage is the main pride of the locals (the authorities and common people) in Suceava today and represents one of the symbols of the city. At the same time, we observe that the medieval city with its important constructions is situated in the contemporary downtown area and the medieval constructions are suffocated by the modern buildings and the roads between them. In time, the pressure has grown constantly because the urban development is concentrated in this central area and the local authorities continue to accept new constructions in already crowded area.

Mimarlık Eğitiminin Temel Prensipleri Ve Bir Model Önerisi

Author(s): Sibel Demirarslan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 36/2017

Factors that affect preference in university field selection include job finding, prestige, income level, job finding, career making, equivalence and acceptance, social status. Architecture is at the forefront of the professions determined by statistical studies that have never lost popularity. It is important that the validity of architecture and its respectability in the world is not lost, and the functions within the scope of the profession can be provided. Every individual who has an architectural diploma needs to be a judge in many subjects such as technical, technological, design, detail, drawing knowledge. Regardless of where you take your education, you need to be informed about the main issues, the concept of research and learning areas, and the ability to access information at a level that can follow up on possible changes. The educational institution should take into account all the needs of that program. The student must have well researched and analyzed how he would respond to the questions of why, how and why, and how he would affect his life. This study will be presented in the form of a model proposal, taking into consideration the disciplines, subjects, ethical practices, quality and expectations and other elements that must be included in the profession and education of architecture.

Influencing Behaviour for Crime Prevention through Architectural design and Construction: an Overview

Author(s): Samuel O. Ebong / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

This paper, based on the review of existing literature, discusses how architectural design could be used to manipulate the environment to influence behaviour for crime prevention. Architects are unavoidably involved in influencing behaviour of users and abusers of the built environment through their designs. The elements of architecture are subject to complete control and manipulation by the architect. Architectural design for crime prevention is a design process with the explicit intention to influence behaviour. The paper maintains that in designing with the intention to influence behaviour, the designer should focus on the intended behavioural outcome, for strategic reasons, in order to create a particular experience and influence user and abuser decisions. It concludes that design to influence behaviour could be achieved if the architect has knowledge of crime prevention design concepts, theories and principles, the basic technology and types of crime prevention systems, products, and the process involved in integrating security and design. It recommends that architects become involved in the study of behavioural setting of a project site in order to expand the scope of programming to include and address social issues, such as crime, in their designs.

Bakü Cuma Camii

Author(s): Ersel Çağlıtütüncügil / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2017

The aim of this article is to introduce the Juma Mosque, built in Baku Innercity but surviving with its minaret. As the only and largest Friday's mosque in Baku, its descriptions have been usually based only on the old plans and photographs taken in the late 19th century. The plan of this mosque highly resembles to those with maqsura in Iran and Anatolia built by Seljukids. Yet scholars have not mentioned how the Juma Mosque of Baku influenced the construction styles of other mosques in Anatolia and Iran. Russian and Azerbaijani scientists, made plenty of publications about the plan and ornaments of the mosque, so we, here, propose a new opinion by adding some new suggestions and comments on the hypothesis of previous researchers. By presenting this example to the attention of scientists, we want to increase the number of samples by evaluating the visual and aesthetic pleasure of the Turkish-Islamic mosque architecture.

Hemedan-Rezen, İmamzâde Azher Türbesi’nin Kitabeleri

Author(s): Hamidreza Sohrabiabad / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2017

The language, alphabet, and writing style used in inscriptions; the concepts and terms in these inscriptions; and the materials and techniques used are important elements that reveal the understanding and quality of the period’s art through its socio-cultural, economic, and political structures. The Province of Hamadan, located within the historical borders of Azerbaijan, is quite rich in terms of Turkish-Islamic architectural works. These works, however, have not been subjected to examination by scientists. Recognizing the cultural and material heritage of this geography, which has sociocultural, political, and economic linkages with Anatolia, on account of its location throughout history is useful for defining the art in Anatolia. This study puts the inscriptions of Imamzadeh Azhar’s Tomb, located in Razan, under the spotlight and examines the inscriptions found within the tomb by revealing general information about the buildings construction and plan features

What Is an Architectural Concept? The “Concept” of Deleuze and “Project” of Eisenman

Author(s): Snežana Vesnić / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

Two great theories – one in philosophy, one in architecture – emerge nearly simultaneously in the twentieth century: Gilles Deleuze’s understanding of the “concept,” that is, defining philosophy as an activity that produces concepts, and Peter Eisenman’s idea of the “project” as a platform, “position,” or “theory” of an architect. My intention is to suggest and problematize the idea of the concept as “capacity” or “potentiality” implying the production of a multitude of “concepts” or varying “conceptions.” Deleuze’s great significance for architecture of this century allowed for the construction of the “concept” as “author’s potential,” the source of activity and creative architectural acts. An architectural concept, determined in the course of the text, and thanks to which architectural terminology is redefined, could potentially be quite useful in philosophy and theory of the subject.

Author(s): Marija Belij,Jelena Belij,Srđan Belij,Marina Ilincic / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2014

The coastal area of the Danube had the greatest strategic importance in the preservation of the waterway, which was the most important road in this part of Europe until the late 19th century. On the banks of the Danube were located the cradle of many civilizations that were built by European values and identities created by different people. As a natural border Danube has played a significant role in military strategy in the struggle for supremacy and domination of European territories, which are the most significant and most monumental fortress in Serbia, built right on the banks of the Danube. Cultural Route „Fortresses on the Danube“, which floats our sector of the Danube, displays our most important monuments of military architecture in this part of Serbia, the preserved remains of seven fortresses: Bač, Petrovaradin, Belgrade, Smederevo, Ram, Golubačka and Fetislam. Mentioned fortress are an important resource for sustainable tourism development and an important part of the cultural corridor not only in Serbia, but also South-Eastern Europe, which value is recognized by UNESCO. A special segment of the tourism industry in the development of the Danube region represents the development of geotourism as tourism specific niche markets Danube fortresses, and other objects of natural and cultural heritage of the Danube basin is recognized as an interesting tourist destinations and sites worth visiting and retention during a cruise on the Danube. Protection of cultural heritage as a unique and irreplaceable wealth, is very important for the Republic of Serbia and the Danube Region. The development of „cultural routes“ and other forms of cluster connectivity properties of cultural heritage will help better interpretation of heritage and the creation of cooperative networks that will provide obtaining the status of an important heritage resource in the development of cultural tourism and to be involved in politics purposeful tourism planning. Moreover, investments in the restoration of the Danube fortress create the conditions for a greater volume of tourist traffic and a significant share of foreign tourists from cruise ships in their unique offer.

ПОЛИТИЧКИ ИДЕНТИТЕТ АТИНЕ И АРХИТЕКТУРА АКРОПОЉА

Author(s): Miloš Zdravković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2014

In this article author examines relations between Athens political identity and architecture of Acropolis. He makes parallels among flourishing of Athens democracy during Pericles’ golden age and the building of the most significant architectural complex in Old Greece. His basic thesis is that the concept of freedom shaped the democratic system in Athens and thus its political identity, but at the same time exerted a direct influence in all spheres of human creativity. The power of the idea of freedom is especially visible in the Acropolis architectural complex where the idea fused with the economic potential of ancient Athens has created the most beautiful symbol of democracy and one of the greatest architectural masterpiece in whole human history.

Damnatio memoriae. A Historical and Moral Revenge in Images

Author(s): Adrian Stoleriu,Irina Andreea Stoleriu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The article suggestively called Damnatio memoriae. Historical andmoral revenge in images is considering the analysis of a cultural, historical andartistic phenomenon practiced since ancient times in different cultures andcivilizations, which literally consists in condemning the memory of certainremarkable personalities of the past, by deleting the names of the inscriptions,respectively by deteriorating, marking with distinctive signs (blackout,scribbling, etc.) or even completely destroying the images that representedthem. As we will try to demonstrate, this kind of practice has a strong ethicalconnotation, offering, besides a series of genuine documents about historicalevents, a moralizing example based on a certain type of ideology specific tothe space where they originated.Our work proposes to exemplify such a case, originating from the 16thcentury in Moldavia, referring to the personality and visual representations ofPrince Iliaş who appears in various artistic representations, such as the votivepaintings of Humor, Baia, Moldoviţa and Probota .It is worth noting from the beginning that the act of condemningmemory was most often done as a sign of an epoch-end (dictatorship) and thebeginning of a new one in which the recollection of the tyrant (or of thatparticular personality) was destroyed, and the images that reminded of himwere vandalized. As history shows, when such a phenomenon took place,hatred of the dictators of the periods of sad remembrance was reflected, mostof the time, upon the works of art that they represented, or the documents thatmentioned them, without taking into any account the importance, value, costsor efforts made to achieve them.

Un cycle hagiographique peu étudié de la peinture extérieure moldave: La vie de saint Pacôme le Grand

Author(s): Constantin I. Ciobanu / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2017

The present study focuses on a less studied hagiographic cycle ofMoldavian exterior painting: The Life of St. Pachomius the Great. This cycle israre in Christian painting and it should not be confused with the frequentimages of St. Pachomius alone or of the Apparition of the Angel to St.Pachomius. Thus, in the sixteenth century in Moldavia, the cycle of the life ofSt. Pachomius was preserved only in the exterior paintings of the monasteriesof Humor and Suceviţa. Research has shown that the last scene in the life of St.Pachomius of Suceviţa was inspired by a similar scene painted about half acentury earlier in 1547 on the northern wall of St. George’s Church in theMonastery of Voroneţ. It is true that in Voroneţ this scene illustrates(incorrectly) a sequence of the life of Saint Anthony, whose hagiography, asevidenced by literary sources, does not include the odd episode with the liftingof the oak leaf.

Einige Betrachtungen zu der figürlichen Bauplastik an den romanischen Kirchen der Siebenbürger Sachsen

Author(s): Constantin Sebastian Corneanu / Language(s): German Issue: 60/2017

The present study contains some brief observations concerning the defining elements of the Romanesque sculpture, presented at the churches of the Transylvanian Saxon communities. In the works already published we have found that there is a provincial component of Romanesque architecture and sculpture, mainly due to the rural communities in which these were built. Beyond the rural specificity, a consistent thematic repertoire, with a well-defined moralizing character, is reflected in the sculpture.

Muzej, arhitektura, čovjek: polje sukoba

Author(s): Katarina Đošan / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 6/2017

(De)contextualization is the core of museum activity. Ideology and manipulation, therefore, take a huge part of museum’s everyday work. This is not a problem at all, as long as the institution makes space for introduction of those variabilities to visitors (consumers of their directions towards museum pieces). Many conflicts arise while preparing what is going to be seen and how is it going to be seen; the problem of dealing with pieces starts with a place of the exhibition. As long as we operate with the strict division between form and function in architecture, museum buildings will be seen as mere utility or as pieces of art that tend to compete with objects inside. That “inner conflict” (between museum pieces and museum building) is still obvious at the “outer conflict” between people and museums in their complexity. Expectations that arise from both sides are showing that neither visitors nor curators know how to deal with such contradictions: is the museum place where objects are exhibited because of their value, or those objects gain their value by being put in that special place? The illusion of museum as symbiotic place in which buildings, people and objects work together in harmony is that of a dogma; admitting that it is not, thus exposing its contradictions and conflicts, is the starting point for making a museum part of the future.

Туристичка валоризација римског царског града Феликс Ромулијана

Author(s): Nemanja Tomić,Anđelija Ivkov-Džigurski,Dejan Berić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2012

The tourism industry is a great potential for the development of Serbia. The main characteristics of the existing and potential tourist offer of Serbia are interesting and diverse natural resources and cultural and historical heritage. Felix Romuliana, established palace of the Roman emperor Galerius, is located in the valley of the Black Timok, near Zaječar and the village of Gamzigrad in eastern Serbia. The palace was built in the late third and early fourth century, as a testamentary construction. This is where the Roman emperor was buried and included among the gods. It is the best preserved example of Roman palatial architecture which in 2007 was added to the List of World Heritage of UNESCO. One of the key tasks of this paper is to point out ways of promoting and popularizing this tourism potential that can be used as a resource for the development of cultural tourism and as such strengthen the position of Serbia''s tourist offer in Europe. The aim of this paper is contained in the presentation of the site Felix Romuliana and extraction of the most important attractiveness through valorization, which on the bases of historical and cultural significance may be activated for tourism purposes.
