Abstract

The article considers water as component of a high-quality architectural environment. The meaningful contextual inclusion of various forms of water in the architecture creates the opportunity to obtain non-standard solutions. Article systematizes the analysis of some of the best world practices related to the synthesis of architectural design and the aquatic environment, as a result of which the author made an attempt to form the most important principles of architectural design, which are based on the idea of combinations between water and architecture. The purpose of the article is to propose architectural principles that make it possible to achieve the uniqueness of architecture through the integration of water. Methodological basis: analysis of scientific literature and information sources, systematic, integrated, functional approach. The result of the research are 3 main architectural principles: Interplay, Teamwork and Fusion. The Interplay principle contributes to the fact that the architecture becomes unique and endowed with positive features, due to the presence of various forms of water inclusion in the design solution. The principle of Teamwork is that water is one of the constituent elements of an architecture. The Fusion principle makes it possible to obtain an architecture based on the placement of a building in a water environment or the opposite solution. Conclusion: integration of water as one of the key elements of architecture makes it possible to achieve a unique design solution, which at the same time allows to have a supply of water that is relevant in the context of its general shortage.
