Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article is dedicated to the analysis of design techniques used to create harmonious architectural compositions in the historical parts of a city. Modern architecture in historic city centers often sparks debates and disagreements. On one side, there are defenders of the classical style who claim that modern designs cannot integrate into the historical fabric, while on the other, there are advocates of innovation who believe that new ideas can enrich the urban landscape. There are many ways to combine modern design with classical architecture. It is better to use modern architectural principles rather than pursue historical reconstruction. Successful architectural compositions, combining both old and modern buildings, can be seen in Montreal. The issue of stylistic interaction between old (historic) and new architecture has been examined in various works by domestic and foreign authors [3, 4]. There is a widespread belief that modern architecture is inferior to classical beauty and, therefore, cannot be combined with it. However, such a claim is superficial and does not take into account a number of important factors. Classical architecture also varies in terms of aesthetic perception, which can easily be demonstrated using the example of Odesa. Using Montreal as an example, the goal is to propose examples of the organic interaction between old buildings and modern projects. In this city, the interaction of various architectural styles creates an atmosphere where historical elements are seamlessly intertwined with modern design (fig. 2). The aim of this article is to explore and analyze the design techniques that achieve such an effect. The results of the study suggest that modern architecture has the potential to enhance the beauty of historical parts of a city. The successful combination of different styles is possible if architects are guided by quality, policy, context, and innovation. Only in this way can harmony between old and new architecture be achieved. To cultivate new architects capable of thinking outside the box, it is essential to include courses on modern design techniques in educational programs. These courses can be conducted alongside the study of classical styles, but the emphasis should shift towards contemporary trends and ways of integrating them into urban planning. First and foremost, the understanding of heritage needs to change – it should be perceived not as a foreign object from the past in relation to modernity, but as an organic part of the city's development. The second important step is to develop a spatial development policy for cities and planning documents that would be relevant and accessible for evaluation by all residents, regardless of their interests.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
