Urban planning in the spatiotemporal domain (philosophical aspect) ГРАДОСТРОИТЕЛЬСТВО В ПРОСТРАНСТВЕННО-ВРЕМЕННОМ ИЗМЕРЕНИИ (ФИЛОСОФСКИЙ АСПЕКТ)
The author proposes a historical and philosophical approach to the problem of correlation between the life activity and the urban environment. Urban planning and development demonstrate different features in different historical epochs. Intensive growth of cities and their population cause us to use philosophical terms, such as motion, time and space. These are the basic terms of the town planning practice.In the ancient world, urban planning absorbed philosophical ideas and ideas of the nascent science. Aristotle defines motion as transition from possibility to reality. Architectural and engineering solutions integrate the notion of space into the town planning and demonstrate aspiration into the future and its desired perfection.Architecture is most philosophical constituent of the town planning practice. Architecture implements the ideas of town planning through the principles of steadiness, statics, tectonics, representation of structures in artistic figures, and constituent elements of motion as a conception of time.Motion and duration of events and phenomena are the measure of time. Mathematics concretizes the essence of space, defines spatial notions of point, line, segment, plane, and volume.The end of the 20th century brought abrupt changes in town planning. It depended on intensive advancements in science and technology, spontaneous expansion of cities and emergence of new spatial forms for the humankind. In modern architecture, there is a need for new methods of town building. Spiritual values became relevant. Now the urban environment is to embody new values. There is a need for special qualities of the urban building: the urban environment should take account of psychosocial, visual and behavioral aspects of perception of spatial objects. The most important factor is the human one. These ideas constitute the spirit of time; they must have some aesthetic content, so that people could be proud of their houses, localities and towns. The works ofEuropean architect James Frazer serve as the example of this point of view.
Изложен историко-философский подход к проблеме взаимосвязи жизнедеятельности человека и городской среды обитания. В различные исторические эпохи меняются характеристики планировки и застройки городов. Темпы роста городов и городского населения в современных условиях заставляют обратиться к философским понятиям: движение, пространство, время, — которые все в большей мере становятся фундаментальными для практики градостроительства.
