Theoretical and methodological principles of memorial parks three-dimensional composition and ideological lines expressing means complex

Abstract

One of the aspects of the preservation of memorial parks as objects of cultural heritage, in the context of the formation of scientifically grounded approaches to the reconstruction of their territory, is the assessment of the present state of both the material components of the park space, and the features of the symbolism usage and means of expressing of their ideological load. On the basis of analysis of available techniques for evaluating individual components of the park space, the main aspect is the assessment of exclusively material elements of the park space – their qualitative, aesthetic and quantitative characteristics, and there is no differentiated approach to the evaluation in accordance with the functional features of the parks that limit the significance of one or another criteria. In addition, while using existing evaluation methods, symbols, ideologies, thematic orientation of the park, the stylistic unity of the composition, as well as the colour of park landscapes, which is an important means of highlighting its thematic orientation and its separate functional zones, evaluation of which in the park area is fragmentary in nature, remain out of focus. According to the results of the analysis of scientific sources of literature and researches of the Kyiv's memorial parks during 2011-2017, the newest methods for assessing the cultural and historical value and means of expressing the ideological load of memorial parks were developed, which include a system of criteria that characterizes both the common features, and the state of the components of the park space at the present stage are also the basis for forming directions for its further rational use.
