About the formulation of architectural and artistic plastics of facades and a look through the prism of architectural symbolism, about reading the information code embedded in symbols, is known in the monographs of A.O. Kadurinа. The creation of links between elements of ornamental motifs, as well as visual and morphological regularities - in the scientific works of I.A. Yurchenko.

The presentation of the decorative and artistic features of various symbols and symbols in the traditional architecture of central Budzhak encourages design with elements of ethno-art traditions. The location of the symbols (the tree of peace, symbols of fertility and status), both on the house itself and in the middle of the estate, is determined by the idea, meaning, as well as constructive and compositional features.

London is now a global financial and multicultural hub in which over three hundred languages are spoken. But the history of London has always been a history of immigration. This book explores the rich and vibrant story of London — from its founding two millennia ago by Roman invaders, to Jewish and German immigrants in the Victorian period, to the Windrush generation invited from Caribbean countries in the twentieth century. The book shows how migration has been fundamental to London's economic, social, political, and cultural development. The book sheds light on the various ways in which newcomers have shaped London life, acting as cheap labour, contributing to the success of its financial sector, its curry houses, and its football clubs. London's economy has long been driven by migrants, from earlier continental financiers and more recent European Union citizens. Without immigration, fueled by globalization, the book argues, London would not have become the world city it is today.

This study aims to reveal the sustainability of Balinese traditional residential architectural practices which are based on the provisions of traditional ethnic Balinese social stratification and refers to the capital ownership in Generative Structural Theory from Pierre Bourdieu (economic, cultural, social and symbolic). At present, there are dynamics ownership and capital conversion in the traditional social strata which affect the sustainability of traditional residential architecture practices. The traditional Balinese residential architecture in this study is understood to be the spatial layout and traditional residential buildings of the Middle Bali era. Its sustainability today is seen from the concept of capital in the perspective of Bourdieu’s theory. The basic assumption of Bourdieu’s theory is basically that humans are in the field of social struggle to emerge victorious by competing with one another. This study is a qualitative research with interpretative descriptive method. Primary data were obtained from selected informants (purposive) and from field observations, as well as secondary data from the literature. The study findings show that traditional residential architecture practices in the Middle Bali era were strongly influenced by capital ownership (economic, cultural, social, and symbolic) with various forms of conversion to traditional Balinese aristocratic (triwangsa). Development at this time has opened the opportunity to control various capital for ordinary community (jabawangsa), so that the realm of Balinese traditional housing becomes a medium of struggle as well as a symbol of success in social struggle. On the other hand, the contestation of Balinese traditional residential architectural practices is a sustainability in the arena of social struggle within Balinese society today.

A number of works are being carried out on the formation of high spirituality, ensuring freedom of conscience, and applying the principle of religious tolerance in Uzbekistan. The study and promotion of the rich religious and philosophical heritage created by our great ancestors, as well as the works of the world philosophy of religion, have become widespread. Teaching students the basics of religious studies, the history of world religions, and the philosophy of world religions is an important factor in forming a scientifc worldview in society and fostering a spirit of respect for religious feelings. In the speech of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly in September 2017, in New York, a proposal was put forward to adopt a special resolution entitled “Enlightenment and religious tolerance”, and accordingly, on December 12, 2018, the adoption of a special resolution entitled “Enlightenment and religious tolerance” at the UN General Assembly indicates that understanding, analysis, and evaluation of religious and social processes based on knowledge shows that this has become an urgent problem throughout the world. In this sense, it is desirable to inform modern students about the philosophical ideas, analyses and concepts expressed in the feld of religion, as well as to develop their skills of independent analysis. This article on the topic of German non-classical religious and philosophical concepts has theoretical and practical-pedagogical signifcance in this regard. It is intended to give religious and philosophical thoughts, coherent ideas that have had a great impact on world cultural development, the purpose of which is to look deeper at the views of German non-classical philosophers on religion and other aspects of it, as well as to show their role and signifcance in understanding modern cultural processes. The article focuses on the description of religious and philosophical teachings formed by post-classical German philosophers according to historical retrospect, and the degree of correspondence of certain characteristic moments of these teachings with Islamic values. The analysis shows that most German non-classical philosophers put forward ideas close to Islamic values in terms of the content of their teachings.

Article is devoted to a research of a role and the place of art installation in the modern world. At the same time the retrospective analysis of a role of art installation in the past and comparative characteristic with the present is carried out. The Ukrainian context of development of art installation is also revealed. At the same time it is found out that installation is not only an important component of modern art, but also an integral part of historical discourse. Due to its visual functions, the installation actively influences the viewer. For the most part, installations are not just an object in space, it is what is the very space - how much the installation work has the ability to fill the space, integrate into it organically and holistically. At the same time, the main factor in the creation and existence of an installation in the exhibition space, as well as in other relevant arts, is its relationship with the viewer. In this study, the socio-cultural aspect of the installation is important, understanding of the significance of this form of contemporary artistic practices for a common worldview system. Such problems as the assimilation of new experience from the point of view of global processes, on the one hand, and the preservation of the national cultural identity in contemporary art, on the other – actualize the pattern of the process of perception of a new culture. In article it is found out that graphic schools are based on existence of certain art and educational institutions where graphic artists who carry out the teaching activity and own creativity a high mission of formation of new generation of masters create. Not less important factor is acceptance of experience of teachers and its further development in creativity of pupils and followers. Art of installation is an integral part of the modern fine arts of Ukraine. Emergence and development of this art form in the national cultural environment became possible under conditions of intensive creative activity of artists which reached the high level of mastery in connection with deeply philosophical judgment of problems of the present. At the end of XX – the beginning of ХХІ century, looking for new ways of development, the Ukrainian artists addressed installation which as it is possible better answered esthetic inquiries of an era and became a symbol of spiritual updating of the personality. Installation turns into a key factor of development of different spheres of culture, thereby playing a noticeable role in development of national culture. Installation in the modern art helps to be focused and inform of the idea and understanding of global problems to adherents of different genres of art, the audience of different age categories and social groups. Since declaration of independence development of the independent state and formation of own cultural policy aimed at providing free development of national culture and preservation of cultural inheritance begins. The state forms the legislative base which can provide cultural development and an open entry of all citizens to its achievements. In 1992 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine accepts "Principles of the legislation of Ukraine about culture" where the basic principles of public policy in the sphere of culture directed to revival and development of the Ukrainian national culture, ensuring freedom of creativity, free development of cultural and art processes, realization of the rights of citizens to access to cultural values, creation of material and financial conditions of cultural development were declared. It is found out that installation is an art equipment which uses the three-dimensional objects intended for change of perception of space by the person. The term "installation" in English appeared long ago – in the XV century. It means process of construction, collecting, drawing up something (now use it also for establishment definition, for example, of the software). With the advent of different technologies – videos, and later and the computer – arose also different types of installations which now peacefully coexist with other arts, for example, painting or a sculpture, without being inferior to them. Hardly somebody will be able to designate exact date of emergence of installations and their judgment as art form. Now installation represents the certain room according to the decision of the author transformed to art space. It is filled with a number of objects to which the symbolical value is often provided. Harmonious connection of things, their arrangement indoors is also art. Installations can be the constant objects exposed in the museums or be created temporarily in public and private spaces. The space of installation can include different types of the things and images circulating in our civilization: pictures, drawings, photos, texts, video, movies, tape recordings, virtual reality, Internet, etc. Installations are regularly presented at the international exhibitions of the modern art, such as Venetian the biennial. The most prestigious art museums and art galleries of the world give to installation art the best platforms from time to time. At the same time, the research of this form of art lags behind the progressing shaping a little. The phenomenon of installation is considered as a part of a performance that is entirely logical. But install processes, especially the last decades, proved what is absolutely self-sufficient the cultural phenomena which need serious scientific approach and judgment, require attention to a research of characteristics install the practician, activity of certain artists, a tipologization and the scientific analysis of modern processes

The Declaration of sovereignty by Kyrgyzstan in December 1990, the adoption of the Declaration of independence in August 1991 and their recognition by the world community were the most important historical and political events for our country at the end of the XX century, which led to fundamental changes in all spheres of public life, including in the development of culture. The changes that occurred in these years in the country’s management system have created a number of new problems in the historical and cultural development of the nation. A sharp increase in the flow of diverse ideological information, the strengthening of the influence of Western culture against the background of the socio-economic crisis that engulfed the country from the first years of sovereignty, had an impact, and not always positive, on the national culture.

Background: Medicine has gone through many thought processes until it has arrived in our days. At the beginning, it was based on the religion, superstition and magic plants for therapy. This has been for many centuries until arrived a period of cultural development. This will happen in the Greek world and new theories about nature (physiokratia) and humans advance. From the various mythical traditions, we passed to understand the natural phenomena that surround the universe, thanks to the knowledge of the “hidden causes” by the philosophy. Methods: The contribution to Western medicine of the ancient Greeks was the development of a rational system of thought that was transmitted in medical culture. This attempt to interpret was called philosophy. Hippocrates, with the arrival of the pre-Socratics, changes the old method of approach to the sick and the sick itself. So, he changed the approach to medicine and healing, influencing the therapy of other ancient popular cultures before and after the arrival of the preSocratics. We have researched ancient texts to determine the common roots between myth and therapy and religious separation from other medical cultures before Hippocrates. Results: This study is focused, particularly, on the period from the age before and during the world of pre-Socratic thought, showing that there are many similarities in the approach of therapy of various diseases. The ancient Greeks were influenced by the other civilizations on therapy, especially with plants with a different mythological view. Despite rationalism, remained the supernatural beliefs while the use of herbs does not remain in the magic myth. The first detachment of the magical therapy will happen later with the father of medicine, Hippocrates. Conclusion: The ancient Greeks invented rationalist doctrine for the medicine. The birth of the philosophy, crossing many stages, influenced the therapy models, especially with the medicinal herbs.

The paper emphasizes that the processes of globali-zation, including in the field of culture, require close attention and analysis of the philosophical basis of national culture. Russian musical art of the second half of the 19th to early 20th century is a carrier of the axiological content of the cultural system. Music as a model of the Universe, as an important component of the spiritual world of the Russian people, is a specific way of seeing the world, through which they know themselves and the world as a whole. The author not only carries out a philosophical and cul-tural analysis of ideas of M.P. Mussorgsky as a rep-resentative of the Russian musical philosophical thought of the 19th century, but also shows the man-ifestations of these ideas in his works. It is conclud-ed that the composer’s worldview clearly indicates his kinship with Russian socio-philosophical thought.

Energy Efficiency has become an integral necessity at a global scale and with the rapidly escalating population around the world, the energy demand has also amplified to extreme levels, making the provision of energy a real challenge. Henceforth, implementation of more efficient conservative measures must be targeted as the supply of fossil fuels is not infinite and the extensive energy consumption is causing harm to the environment. With the continuously growing demand for energy, and as per the forecast of the International Energy Agency, it is expected that the rise will be up to fifty percent by 2030. Recently, more than eighty percent of primary energy demand is being fulfilled by fossil fuels; and the reservoirs of fossil fuels are fast depleting. The result is climate change at the global level, leading to unprecedented and varied effects on weather events, droughts, and hurricanes in many countries and also flooding in major sectors of the world. It has been realized that fifty percent of the energy produced in the world is utilized by residential buildings. To control the emission of greenhouse gases, it is important to use architectural design techniques to make residential buildings more energy efficient for maintaining the thermal comfort level of occupants.

The material culture of Persia (in architecture, design, arts) from Ancient and Middle Ages have been well known and deeply examined on a world level. However, this is far less true for the latest Iranian creative production. Therefore, the authors of the paper (historians of art and of architecture) are investigating some issues related to the visual and design features of the latest Iranian architecture. Here, we are exploring samples representative of the beginning of the 21st century, including both public (religious, secular) and residential buildings. Although partly limited by the availability of information (existing publications, translations from Farsi, etc.), our selection is based on: • the originality of their design concept • the final performance qualities • the expression of an attitude towards the traditional and the world-wide artistic heritage. The analysis of the chosen examples is based on their shape and stylistic character, most widely understood, including: their urban environment; the chosen volumes, proportions, silhouette, material, the play of colors, light and shadows, decorative elements, etc. The expected results are to illustrate the forms of interaction between the rich regional building environment and the universal architectural trends.
