Abstract
Study of the compositional relations of architecture and landscape in the formation of ecotourism complexes in Southern Iraq
Incoming article date: 09.05.2021The article analyzes the landscape complex of the swamps of Southern Iraq, as a proposed location of architectural objects for the construction of an eco-tourist complex. The purpose of the study is to identify the mechanism of formation of compositional links between architecture and landscape on the example of tourist development of wetlands in Southern Iraq. The functional and planning model of the tourist complex is presented. On the basis of morphological analysis, the horizontal and vertical morphological structures of the wetland landscape were identified. The elements of the natural and ecological framework of wetlands are described, which include: - natural "linear structures" (channels, channels, channels); anthropogenic "linear and vector structures" (pedestrian roads, highways, dams, bridges); "nodal structures "or" cores "located at the intersections of linear and vector directions of development of the framework; "buffer zones" and "accumulators" - island and peninsular elements for the placement and accumulation of various functions (recreational, economic, tourist, etc.); "markers" and " dispersed elements "are a kind of" focal points "and" accents " in the planning structure of the landscape (small islands, protrusions of the coastline, backwaters, peaks, capes). The structural components of the tourist complex are proposed in the form of a combination of its three structures: a) "three-dimensional structure" (buildings, blocks, buildings and their combinations); b) "plastic structure" (the degree of dissection; "sculptural" and detailing of individual three-dimensional forms and spaces, taking into account the "ranks", "levels" and "steps" of detailing); c) "decorative structure" (small forms; color and light-tone combinations of surfaces; textures and textures of architectural volumes). Variants of compositional links between the architecture of tourist complexes and the wetland landscape at different levels of formation are developed. The presented methodological tools will make it possible to form functional ecotourism objects that correspond to the principles of sustainable architecture.
