On Identity in Architecture and Urban Planning
Globalization, generating unification, makes uslook for inherent territorial allusions as the embodiment of the place spirit. Techniques that have already become templates again level the images of modernity and move masters and beginners in their search for their own "faces" to turn to the deep roots of regional architecture. The problem of identity in architecture can be interpreted as a search for opportunities and mechanisms, a palette of means conducive to the possession of identity. There is something that serves as a symbol of identity and is inherited preserved as an image of constancy. Essentially, relative integrity of the existing variety of buildings is the subject of the identity of a particular city or settlement. Architecture can be metaphorically identified as the identity of the region. The individuality of building combinations with nature ensures the identity of the city. There are three basiclevels in the analysis of architecture as an identity or resource: region - city, rural settlement - object. The object is a "tactile" visually perceived formation: a quarter, a residential group, a street, a building. "The identity expresses that 'stable', which provides the embodiment of the 'principle of sustainability'". Architecture bears the responsibility for the full embodiment in its images, forms and spaces of the essential identity, which characterizes both the space of culture and the landscape- climatic conditions of the area. These fundamental properties determine the sustainability of development in the principles of the visual design of the world. At the end of the XX and the beginning of the XXI century, the two vectors coexist in relation to the traditional and previously created forms of settlements in architecture: the vector of recognition of architectural and cultural value and the vector of denial of archaism and conservatism. The architect determines the design and function of a space or building. And here is the exceptional role of each master's professional and general culture. The new ways of synthesizing the means of expressiveness and figurativeness of the urban environment are being actively considered as methods of revealing identity. Currently, the main approaches to the formation of uniqueness of buildings, streets, neighborhoods, squares and cities are mainly reduced to external actions in relation to architecture, a kind of artistic and design actions: landscaping, installing commemorative signs, decorative sculpture, monuments,landscape compositions.
