The study classifies proper names of housing estates (HE) in Lviv according to certain phenomena, images, symbols. The iconic, indexical, conventional relations of the architecture of HE are revealed as a sign-vehicle to its referent which is declared in its own name through the pyramidal structure of the semiotic triangle. The problem of conditionality and immanence of one's proper name concerning the architectural image of the HE is highlighted.

The relevance of the subject is dictated by the growing need to satisfy the physical and mental demands of city residents and create locations with high aesthetic and functional qualities. The purpose of the study is to examine the main modern trends in the design of urban landscape objects, formed since the 1990s in terms of their compliance with modern concepts of sustainable development, landscape urbanism, and urban ecology. The study analyses a number of experimental, explorative, and implemented projects of landscape objects, created to determine, emphasise, or create a new identity of local places in the historically formed structure of cities (on the example of the cities of Lviv, Lutsk, Kamianets-Podilskyi). The monographic and analytical methods were used in the study. A graphic method was used to determine the attractiveness of objects. The study establishes the following characteristic feature of historical cities: in old parts of cities, the effective concepts of landscape proposals are based on the expression of local identity. For example, it was found that the square near St. Andrew's Church in Lviv features garden and park art of the Baroque epoch, the public space project at the intersection of St. Prince Roman and I. Franka streets in Lviv conveys a compilation of historical features of different epochs. The second characteristic feature established in this study: in the degraded environment of peripheral neighbourhoods (investigated examples in Lviv and Lutsk), the proposed modern forms and geoplastics work well. It was also confirmed in various examples, such as the reconstruction of Mytna Square in Lviv, and the volunteer movement in Kamianets-Podilskyi, that successful intervention in the transformation of urban public spaces contributes to the growth of the quality of these spaces and the improvement of the city's image. The design concepts of the urban environment with a multi-layered complex structure of both natural and cultural elements are valuable and recommended for implementation. The history of city development during the Soviet period eliminated their specific features. Today, the restoration and creation of landscape objects allows for preserving and emphasising the uniqueness of cities

The research relevance is determined by the study of the architectural features of the Buran Minaret and its role in preserving the region’s identity is key to the preservation of historical and cultural heritage in today’s global cultural dynamics. The study aims to analyse the architectural significance of the Buran Minaret in the context of the cultural heritage of the Chui Valley and its influence on the formation of the region’s history. The research involved a comprehensive methodological approach combining archaeological, historical, cultural and sociological methods. The results obtained have shown the uniqueness of the architectural solutions used in the construction of the Buran Minaret. The ornamental relief belts that adorn the minaret’s trunk are technically complex structures of a high level of craftsmanship. The meticulous attention to detail and sophistication of the ornamental motifs emphasise that each element of the minaret’s architecture was created with refinement and care for detail, reflecting the high level of skill and dedication of the ancient builders. The arched niches of the octagonal plinth, decorated with relief brick ornamentation, are also a visual expression of the minaret’s artistic beauty. The preservation of the ornaments on the three belts demonstrates their significance as a historical and cultural heritage. The use of a variety of materials and masonry techniques, including ordinary building bricks, adds authenticity and uniqueness to this architectural monument. The findings also confirmed that the Buran Minaret plays a key role in the Chui Valley on the historical, cultural, religious and tourist levels. Its historical significance is expressed through its connection to different periods of the region, as well as its symbolic significance for culture and religion, attracting thousands of tourists for its historical and architectural significance. The findings have important practical implications for the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage of the region. They broaden the understanding of the architectural and technical achievements of ancient masters, emphasising the need to preserve and restore unique architectural structures such as the Buran Minaret

The investigation of the history of prison infrastructure development is being updated by the ongoing (2024) penitentiary reform in Ukraine. The planning and development of a new network of penitentiary institutions that will meet modern standards and goals of imprisonment requires attention to similar processes of rethinking prison architecture that took place in the first third of the 19th century. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to explore the transformation of the structural and spatial organisation of detention facilities during the active prison construction of the 19th century based on published and archival materials. This led to the use of historical, historical and comparative, compositional, grapho-analytical analysis, which were applied in the context of structural-functional and sociological approaches to the study of architecture. The application of this methodology helped to establish the origins and historical prerequisites for the expansion of new detention facilities during the study period. Based on the analysis of the structural and spatial construction of detention facilities, conclusions are drawn about the main goals that architects and authorities pursued when reforming prisons. By comparing the layout of different prisons, the regional specificity of different prison castles in the Kherson province was investigated. The study of the composition and structural-functional organisation of prison castles allowed tracing how the ideas about disciplinary space were embodied in the empire. Based on the analysis, the conclusions about the palliative nature of prison reform in the first third of the 19th century are clarified. The analysis of the implementation of the system of power relations in the architecture of detention facilities revealed that certain pre-reform elements have been preserved in prison castles. The study of the organisation of prison space allowed creating a periodisation of the development of architecture. It was concluded that typical places of detention of the pre-reform period were designed to solve pressing problems of functioning of detention facilities, and not to consistently implement certain penitentiary ideas in architecture. The prison reform of 1819 brought a neo-Gothic style and more complex composition to prison architecture. The results of the study can be used by researchers of other architectural experiments of the 19th century on the organisation of disciplinary spaces and serve as source material for educational and local history organisations

In the second half of the 19th century, Polish architects actively joined the pan-European trend of finding new solutions in landscape art and created a large, but relatively unknown to the general public, group of Polish manor parks, which can be considered as a specific type of naturalistic style. In modern landscape design, more and more attention is paid to the protection of cultural heritage, in particular, the reconstruction and conservation of historical buildings, gardens, parks, and green areas. From the standpoint of protecting cultural heritage and revalorising historical projects, it is advisable to conduct a study of calligraphic parks as an important group of projects separated from the naturalistic (landscape) style. This confirms the relevance and practical focus of this study. The purpose of the study was to analyse the calligraphic manor and palace parks that are numerous in the territories of present-day Poland and Ukraine. To fully disclose the topic, a research methodology was developed that was based on general scientific and special scientific methods. Based on the analysis and comparison of samples of landscape gardening, the prerequisites for the transition from clear geometric forms to refined, smooth forms in various branches of art, including landscape art, were identified. Based on graphic comparison and architectural and planning analysis, the most characteristic compositional features were identified, including the calligraphic contour of lines, the way trees and other types of greenery are decorated, various types of landscapes, and architecture (including, in particular, the residence and its immediate environment). This study revealed the patterns of “calligraphic parks” through one of their most important features – a characteristic smooth system of paths that evokes clear associations with Polish calligraphic writing. Although, at first glance, their space seems quite natural, nevertheless, it is created according to strict rules of composition. The practical significance of this study lies in the fact that the principles of environmental protection activities, recommendations for conservation and basic provisions for the reconstruction of such objects are proposed to recreate the characteristic features of calligraphic parks

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of basalt fibres in concrete mixtures to improve their physical and mechanical properties. The study used Portland cement grade PC400 D0, granite crushed stone, perlite gravel fill, and sand coarse aggregate to create concrete mixtures of various densities. The findings of this study confirmed that the optimum dosage of basalt fibres plays a key role in achieving the best mechanical properties of concrete. Upon proper dosage of up to 3%, the fibres improve the structure of concrete, increasing its strength and crack resistance. However, when this level is exceeded up to 5%, agglomeration of fibres and lack of cement paste to bind the aggregates result in lower flexural strength of concrete. The study also revealed that the tensile strength and compressive strength of concrete varies with basalt fibre content. The tensile (flexural) strength showed an increasing trend with the addition of up to 3% fibres, with a maximum increase of 11.3% over the original sample. However,when the basalt fibre content was further increased, the strength started to decrease, emphasising the significance of maintaining the optimum dosage. Concrete shrinkage also varied with fibre content: as the basalt fibre content increased, shrinkage decreased due to the formation of an internal reinforcing structure that prevents the movement of concrete particles. In case of lightweight concrete, analogous trends were discovered: compressive strength and flexural strength increased up to a certain level of basalt fibre content, but then decreased when the optimum dosage was exceeded. The findings emphasise the significance of careful control of basalt fibre dosage in the design of concrete structures, as insufficient or excessive basalt fibre content can adversely affect the mechanical properties of concrete. Optimised use of basalt fibres can considerably improve the strength, crack resistance, and other characteristics of concrete, making it more stable and durable under various service conditions

The analysis of urban morphology using Conzen’s methods is relevant in terms of studying the historical transformation of the urban landscape and its interaction with modern urban development processes. Despite numerous studies of the general urbanization process in Guangzhou, specific aspects of the historical development of Xiguan have remained insufficiently covered. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the spatial structure and evolution of Guangzhou’s Guangfu Nan District with a detailed identification, analysis of key changes in the urban organization of this historic district, and proposals for effective urban landscape management and cultural integration development. The information and methodological basis of this paper is based on historical maps, archival records, and other primary sources to restore and substantiate the evolution of the urban environment, as well as to develop modern spatial planning strategies for the historic city of Xiguan. The study analyses the key reforms of urban planning and industrialization in the People’s Republic of China, determining their impact on urban morphology, economy and social structure, with a special focus on the periodization of the historical development of the Daguan River and the Xiguan Commercial District. A detailed analysis of the development of the street network, land distribution, and architectural layout was conducted using historical cartographic data and changes in land use. The results revealed how historical, cultural and economic factors have jointly influenced the shaping of Xiguan’s urban landscape, highlighting its unique contribution to the larger context of Guangzhou’s urbanization. This study not only enriched the understanding of the historical urbanization process in Southern China, but also provided valuable empirical data for planning the future development and conservation of historic districts in the region. The practical significance of this work is to develop proposals for strategic directions for the effective management of the urban landscape and preservation of the historical heritage of the old city of Xiguan in Guangzhou
