Analysing the original drawings of Frigyes Schulek’s Calvinist Reformed Church in Szeged from 1882 kept in the Plan Collection and Archives of the BME Department for History of Architecture and of Monuments, its design process of geometric proportioning method can be entirely reconstructed. The result of this analysis shows that the Historicism of Schulek was not merely the replication of stylistic patterns of Gothic art but also the application of Medieval architectural principals and ideas. In the case of the Calvinist Reformed Church in Szeged, the essence of the design ‘in style’ was inspired by the contradictions of the function and the position of the building beside the main theoretic recommendation of Protestant church architecture of the time (Eisenacher Regulativ). The purity of the interior required by the function was compensated by the complexity of the geometry. The analysis presented in the paper sheds light not only on Schulek’s approach to Medieval architecture but also the various leve

The argumentation of previous studies demonstrated the historical evolution of the materials in architecture and the position of the materials in the design process. The purpose is to recognize the role of materials in architectural design, and the materials are a core element of the design process. This paper is about the way materials can be used to create personality and character of the design. The research finds two overlapping roles for materials which are providing technical functionality and building personality. Thus building materials were one of the major factors for new innovation forms through the history of architecture.

Cтатья посвящена описанию процесса проектирования и архитектурному анализу приходской церкви в Гроссенаспе (земля Шлезвиг-Гольштейн), связанной с историей российско-немецких отношений в XVIII в. Обстоятельства появления этого памятника отсылают к краткому и яркому периоду, когда Россия активно участвовала в решении судеб ряда немецких территорий, а российская императрица Екатерина II являлась регентом Голштинии при малолетнем сыне Павле, унаследовавшем от Петра III корону Гольштейн-Готторпа. Екатерина содействовала постройке храма, лично утвердив в 1771 г. проект архитектора Иоганна Адама Рихтера (1733-1813) и оказав финансовую помощь приходу. В знак признательности церковь была торжественно освящена в честь Святой Екатерины в сентябре 1772 г. в присутствии обер-камергера герцога Гольштейн-Готторпского Каспара фон Сальдерна (1711-1788), талантливого и ловкого дипломата, активно участвовавшего в решении т. н. «Голштинского вопроса» во взаимоотношениях России и Дании. Позже Сальдерн, оказавшийся в результате интриг в опале, осел в перешедшей к Дании Голштинии - в 1774-1782 гг. обустроил усадьбу в Ширензее и семейную усыпальницу в Бордесхольме, недалеко от Гроссенаспе. Имея политическое влияние в регионе, он немало способствовал постройке рассматриваемой церкви в Гроссенаспе, обеспечив помощь со стороны российской императрицы. Церковь является одновременно и типичным, и относительно редким в северной Германии образцом протестантской церковной архитектуры периода барокко. В основе постройки октагональный кирпичный неоштукатуренный объем, перекрытый мансардной черепичной кровлей, с примыкающей с запада двухъярусной башней-колокольней. Выбор центрической модели был обусловлен спецификой протестантского богослужения и теоретическими поисками визуального воплощения лютеранского храма. На обновление церковной архитектуры протестантской части Германии повлияли теоретические воззрения и увражи Леонарда Кристофа Штурма (1669-1719) и других архитекторов. Рассматривается архитектурно-исторический контекст памятника, анализируется круг причастных к его сооружению заказчиков и архитекторов. The subjects of this articles are the history of construction and architectural analysis of the parish church at Grossenaspe (the land of Schleswig-Holstein), connected with the history of Russian-German relations in the 18th century. The circumstances of the appearance of this monument refer to a brief and bright period, when Russia actively participated in deciding the fate of a number of German territories, and Russian empress Catherine II was regent of Golsch Under Tor. Catherine facilitated the construction of the temple, personally approving in 1771 the project of architect Johann Adam Richter (1733-1813) and providing financial assistance to the parish. As a sign of gratitude, the church was solemnly consecrated in honor of St. Catherine in September 1772 in the presence of the ober-chamberlain Duke of Holstein-Gottorp Kaspar von Saldern (1711-1788), a talented and skillful diplomat who actively participated in the solution of the so-called “Golstein question” in the relations between Russia and Denmark. Later Saldern, who was disgraced as a result of intrigues, settled in Golschtinia, which passed to Denmark. In 1774-1782 he set up an estate in Shirensee and a family stump in Bordesholm, near Grossenaspe. With his political influence in the region, he contributed greatly to the construction of the church in Grossenaspe, ensuring support from the Russian empress. The church is both a typical as well as a relatively rare model in northern Germany of the Protestant church architecture of the Baroque period. The basis of the construction is the octagonal brick non-stucco volume, covered with mansard tile roof, with two-tier bell tower adjacent from the west. The choice of a centric model was due to the specifics of Protestant worship and theoretical searches for the visual embodiment of the Lutheran temple. The renewal of the church architecture of the Protestant part of Germany was influenced by the theoretical views and ouvrages of Leonard Christoph Sturm (1669-1719) and other architects. In the article the architectural and historical context of the monument is considered and the circle of customers and architects involved in its construction is analyzed.

<p>Architecture can be defined as human creation. Architecture is created by human and for human. However, in the real world, through the history of architecture, human component had receded to the background over shadowed by personal idea of the designers. As a result space designed by architects is often aliened by human being. In other words such space ceased to become livable. In this paper I will discuss about an increasingly used user oriented design process. Such method can re-humanize spaces that are designed by architects and designer at large. The user oriented design process discussed in the paper will include user oriented parametric design, user oriented design process, phenomenological approaches, and participatory design process. In this paper I also discuss the consequences of the user oriented design to the pedagogical aspects in design schools. Therefore, the applications of user oriented design process can also be taught to younger generation and future designers.</p><p>Keywords: User, stakeholder, parameters, phenomenology, participatory design.</p>

The article presents examples of Byzantine church architecture, mostly in the towns of Dalmatia. After a short review of the Byzantine influence in the ecclesiastic architecture of the 6th century, the author shows its continuation during the early Middle Ages when the territory under Byzantine political authority was reduced to the coastal towns and northern Adriatic islands. Besides the famous rotunda of St. Donatus in Zadar, of the Byzantine influence in the medieval architecture speaks especially the cross in square church plan, which was accepted in several towns of Byzantine Dalmatia. The cross in square churches in Kotor and Dubrovnik were built in close connection with political and religious relationships with Byzantium, so the architecture can be seen in a broader historical frames.

In the history of religious organizations of Western Ukraine in the 20-30th years of the XX century. The activity of such an early protestant denominational formation as the Ukrainian Evangelical-Reformed Church occupies a prominent position. Among UCRC researchers there are several approaches to the preconditions for the birth of the Ukrainian Calvinistic movement in Western Ukraine. In particular, O. Dombrovsky, studying the historical preconditions for the formation of the UREC in Western Ukraine, expressed the view that the formation of the Calvinist cell should be considered in the broad context of the Ukrainian national revival of the 19th and 20th centuries, a new assessment of the religious factor in public life proposed by the Ukrainian radical activists ( M. Drahomanov, I. Franko, M. Pavlik), and significant socio-political, national-cultural and spiritual shifts caused by the events of the First World War. Other researchers of Ukrainian Calvinism, who based their analysis on the confessional-polemical approach (I.Vlasovsky, M.Stepanovich), interpreted Protestantism in Ukraine as a product of Western cultural and religious influences, alien to Ukrainian spirituality and culture.

Der Vortrag schlägt vor, nicht mehr den Menschen als letzte Referenz und vertrauten Maßstab der Architektur zu setzen, sondern Architekturen als Mediensysteme zu denken. Eine noch ungeschriebene Mediengeschichte der Architektur sollte daher auch und gerade in historischer Absicht nach formalen Entsprechungen zwischen Techniken des Entwerfens und solchen der Bauten suchen, in denen Praxis und Produkt zusammenfallen. </br></br>The paper proposes the consideration of architecture(s) as a media system, instead of imposing man as its ultimate reference and known measure. A media history of architecture – which remains to be written – should therefore search for formal correspondences between techniques of drafting and those of buildings, in which practice and product coincide.

In January 1678 John Knight, the Serjeant Surgeon of Charles II, sent to Samuel Pepys a ‘Discourse containing the History of the Cross of St. George, and its becoming the Sole Distinction = Flag, Badge or Cognizance of England, by Sea and Land’. Knight argued that St George's cross should become the dominant feature in English flags and supported his argument with a history of the cross.A manuscript copy of this discourse, with Knight's original drawings, survives in the Pepys Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge, and is published here. A brief biography of Knight is presented and an account of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century controversies about St George. The latter was an issue which caused acrimony between Royalists and Puritans. An Appendix reconstructs Knight's library, principally consisting of books concerning heraldry, topography and history.
