THE ARCHITECTURAL FACADE AS AN ART DECOR IN SOFIA AND PLOVDIV (original) (raw)

2019, V INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM FOR STUDENTS OF DOCTORAL STUDIES IN THE FIELDS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Abstract: The video shows three public buildings with architectural facades in the cities of Sofia and Plovdiv. These architectural and artistic works are being analyzed because they share messages of National and European value. The analyzed videos are: 3D Mapping Show "Europe - Your Home" on the facade of the Royal Palace in Sofia - an affiliate of the National Gallery;3D "Water and Biodiversity" show on the façade of the "Кvadrat 500" building - central building of the National Art Gallery; Light installation on the facade of Plovdiv Municipality, ”Art Liberty - From the Berlin Wall to Street Art” in Plovdiv, as part of the Art Liberty exhibition dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The aim of the study is to track various parameters that lead to interaction between architecture and visual arts. The main ones are: the year the building was built, its purpose, shape and composition of the façades, occasion for video creation, video storyline, artistic means, color, visibility of the facade in the video, connection between the purpose of the building and the message the video as a means of achieving it, the theoretical capabilities and ways of spatial perception of 3D mapping, the continuation of the specific 3D mapping (or the researcher's perspective) over time. As a result of the study, a conclusion has been drawn on the growing share of video arts in the urban spatial environment. They are related to specific occasions and major social events and contribute to the aesthetics of the urban environment. They have direct impact on it, but this impact can hardly be measured due to their variability. This complexity is also related to the urban environment itself and to the variety of ways visual arts can be perceived Кey words: 3D mapping, urban spatial environment, social events, visual arts, archtectural façade
