The article is devoted to one of the actual problems concerning the current
state of the facades on apartment buildings in residential districts in Kiev
- videoecology. The main purpose of the article is to determine the degree of
visual aggressiveness of multistorey residential buildings in Kiev. It also
investigates the problem of finding the optimal criteria for creating an
ecologically healthy and friendly inhabited environment in the capital city
of Ukraine. The modern visual environment in the capital is contaminated, not
only because of the increasing numbers of promotional billboards, but also
because of the contemporary architecture of high-rise buildings such as
office buildings, apartment buildings. Their composition is usually based on
a simple description of a rhythm. There are also repetitions of the end parts
of buildings in ?lowercase? buildings, which are high-rise buildings that
alternate with nine or identical apartment groups. It creates a sense of
oppressive monotony and leads to psychological and visual fatigue, especially
when these repetitions are the only pattern the eye perceives. In the article
a theoretical block of ecological-aesthetic criteria is defined, which must
be met by the modern architecture facades of multistorey residential houses
in Kiev.
