Questions concerning the study of the phenomenon of urban wayfinding are particularly relevant nowadays, since there is a number of problems related to orientation in the city. As bearers of light and colour, urban wayfinding objects help pedestrians and drivers to quickly navigate in a complex city environment. Urban wayfinding refers to special constructions that are installed in certain places and contain visual information in the form of text and signs. There are complex wayfinding systems consisting of several types of structures, as well as individual navigation elements with different visual designs. In addition to special guiding structures, many objects in the city space affect the path finding: architectural structures, monuments, street furniture, advertising objects (large banner structures), etc. At night, objects with a good level of illumination serve as a means of orientation. The article analyzes the objects of the city environment in terms of their navigational potential and provides a classification of urban wayfinding objects by their degree of dynamism.

The article considers various aspects of urban everyday life, its role in the development of motivation and individualization of human life strategies. The concept of urban capital is introduced and its forms, which positively and negatively affect the formation of the features of urban everyday life, are revealed. The levels of urban capital, which allow to explore the individual style of urban socialization are highlighted. Furthermore, the relationship between urban identity and the internal form of the city chronotope is analyzed. It is shown that common to all variants of human positioning in the city space is the identification or attitude to various aspects of urban capital — localization, city status, social and ecological environment. It is proved that the main difference between these concepts is in the focusing of urban identity (as well as in a sharper form of urban capital) on the external parameters of the city environment, while the internal form of the urban chronotope emphasizes the inner feeling of a person, his own experience in certain places and time in a particular cityscape. This difference indicates the role of the personal chronotope, its internal form in the self-development and self-realization of a person and the connection with existence, intentionality of the personality. The similarity of the concepts of individual chronotope and small chronotope is shown; their influence on the development of the plot (in literature) and the structuring of the human world (in psychology) is analyzed. The relationship between individual parameters of the internal form of a personal chronotope as well as places and times in a small chronotope in their role in restructuring the large chronotope of a city into the human world is examined.

For 200 years, the Metro has been carrying out most of the passenger traffic in large cities and metropolitan areas. The metro architecture embodies cultural ideals, historical milestones and the achievements of society in various fields. The metro is the transport frame of the city, participates in the formation of the urban ensemble. Sustainable development of the metro requires a comprehensive study of its architecture, analysis of domestic and foreign analogues: the prerequisites and chronology of metro development, identification of concepts, directions, principles and techniques of the architectural formation of metro objects. A systematic approach to architectural analysis and design of the metro, identifying the importance of the role of an architect allows to determine the prospects and vectors for the development of transport infrastructure, improve the quality and safety of passenger traffic, design energy-efficient, autonomous, economical, aesthetic and ergonomic metro stations. The high rates of modern metro design require the development of measures to preserve the unity of the metro lines and communication with the city space. Systematization and classification of trends in the development of metro architecture in the period from 1823 to 2000 will allow to determine the arsenal of architectural techniques, to develop urban planning approaches to the architectural solution of the stations

City form conveys two images – the experiential and the remembered. The urban environment therefore is a cacophony of complex visual stimuli experienced with the often conflicting memory associations we attribute to them. Our appreciation of the rapidly changing built environment is therefore relative rather than absolute. In this sense the temporal and spatial components of the city merge to form our interpretation of city space. This paper presents emerging retrogressive landscape analysis, from the domains of landscape planning and heritage, to examine the possibility of a city-wide assessment of its potential to create ‘double exposure’ – walking simultaneously in the past and the present. This is not simply derived from our experience of individual architectural structures (urban form), but also our interpretation of past movement routes, boundaries and morphology (urban code). For this reason it may be necessary to look beyond a heritage which focuses on distinct ‘special’ places and protected buildings and look toward a heritage of temporal change processes and ubiquitous urban evolution; since it is also our interpretation and understanding of these which contributes to our full appreciation of city ‘character’. Santrauka Miestas turi du vaizdus – tiesiogiai suvokiamą ar patiriamą ir besiformuojantį atmintyje, o urbanistinės aplinkos kompleksiškų vizualinių stimulų kakofonija dažnai konfliktuoja ar nesutampa su atmintyje iškylančiomis asociacijomis. Galima teigti, kad mums būdingas urbanizuoto kraštovaizdžio pokyčių suvokimas yra daugiau sąlyginis negu absoliutus, nes trumpalaikiai ar pastovūs erdviniai elementai ir atminties fragmentai susilieja į vieną visumą formuodami konkrečios miesto erdvės interpretaciją. Šiame straispnyje pristatoma retrogresinė kraštovaizdžio analizė, žvelgiant iš kraštovaizdžio planavimo ir paveldo apsaugos pozicijų – jame siekiama įvertinti miestovaizdžio „dvigubos ekspozicijos“ potencialą, t. y. galimybę vienu metu vaikštant po miestą judėti dabartyje ir praeityje. Ši galimybė sukuriama ne tik patiriant atskiras architektūrines ar urbanistines formas, bet suvokiant bei interpretuojant ir individualius buvusius judėjimo kelius, ribas ir morfostruktūras (urbanistinį kodą). Saugant kultūros paveldą ir atsižvelgiant į miesto aplinkos suvokimo kompleksiškumą yra būtina ne tik susitelkti į atskirų objektų ar vietų apsaugą, bet ir skirti dėmesio aplinkos naudojimo ir kaitos procesams bei urbanistinės evoliucijos respektavimui. Šie aspektai svarbūs išsamiam miesto charakterio suvokimui.

The rapid development of the city and the environment resulting in the deterioration of the overall force, people began to face the city environment. If the city space environment of metaphor from the macro as a whole, so the sports building is the city's unit, a city, region and the whole city environment organic synthesis. The overall layout of sports buildings should echo the city space, the main features and figure should constitute the area and the surrounding environment, but also with other city environment unit coexistence, dialogue, promote each other, so as to fully reflect the city space environment integrity and vitality.

The subject of the article is an analysis of the three aspects of depicting urban space of Eastern Ukraine, focusing specifi cally on the Donbass region and the city of Kharkov as depicted in the novels Voroshilovgrad (2010) and Mesopotamia (2014) by Serhiy Zhadan. The urban space of Eastern Ukraine overlaps with the most important values that shape a person’s personality and aff ect her or his self-identifi cation. The city space is also a “place of memory” and experiences of generations that infl uence current events. In addition to the historical and axiological dimension, the imaginative aspect of space is also important. This approach is used by the author to describe the urban space as a functioning imagination or stereotypes associated with it as opposed to its realistic depiction.

The article presents a comparative analysis of fortification art monuments in such East countries from Ancient Egypt to medieval China. An attempt is made to identify the main stages of the fortification development from a stand-alone fortress (citadel, fort) to the most complex systems of urban and border fortifications, including moats, walls and gates, battle towers. It is shown that the nature of these architectural structures is determined by the status of the city or settlement, its natural landscape, building structures and materials, the development of military and engineering art. The materials from poliorceticon (Greek: poliorketikon, poliorketika), illustrate the main types of siege machines and mechanisms. The advantages and disadvantages of boundary shafts and long walls (limes). The most striking examples are the defensive systems of Assyria, New Babylon, Judea and Ancient China.

This research is aimed at studying the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque located in Gorontalo City. Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque is the oldest mosque in the city of Gorontalo The Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque was built as proof of Sultan Amay's love for a daughter and is a representation of Islam in Gorontalo. Researchers will investigate the visual form of the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque which was originally like an ancient mosque in the archipelago. can be seen from the shape of the roof which initially used an overlapping roof and then converted into a dome as well as mosques in the world, we can be sure the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque uses a dome roof after the arrival of Dutch Colonial. The researcher used a qualitative method by observing the existing form in detail from the building of the mosque with an aesthetic approach, reviewing objects and selecting the selected ornament giving a classification of the shapes, so that the section became a reference for the author as research material. Based on the analysis of this thesis, the form  of the Hunto Sultan Amay mosque as well as the mosques located in the archipelago and the existence of ornaments in the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque as a decorative structure support the grandeur of a mosque. On the other hand, Hunto Mosque ornaments reveal a teaching. The form of a teaching is manifested in the form of motives and does not depict living beings in a realist or naturalist manner. the decorative forms of the Hunto Sultan Sultan Mosque in general tend to lead to a form of flora, geometric ornaments, and ornament of calligraphy dominated by the distinctive colors of Islam, namely gold, white, red, yellow and green.

Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) systems have proven their usefulness in the rapid and accurate acquisition of the urban environment. From the generated point clouds, street furniture can be extracted and classified without manual intervention. However, this process of acquisition and classification is not error-free, caused mainly by disturbances. This paper analyses the effect of three disturbances (point density variation, ambient noise, and occlusions) on the classification of urban objects in point clouds. From point clouds acquired in real case studies, synthetic disturbances are generated and added. The point density reduction is generated by downsampling in a voxel-wise distribution. The ambient noise is generated as random points within the bounding box of the object, and the occlusion is generated by eliminating points contained in a sphere. Samples with disturbances are classified by a pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The results showed different behaviours for each disturbance: density reduction affected objects depending on the object shape and dimensions, ambient noise depending on the volume of the object, while occlusions depended on their size and location. Finally, the CNN was re-trained with a percentage of synthetic samples with disturbances. An improvement in the performance of 10–40% was reported except for occlusions with a radius larger than 1 m.
