The article deals with the evolution of functional types of media objects at different stages. It is determined that media objects developed from prototypes to modern media centers. The intermediate stage of evolution is established, that is media objects of hybrid (transitional) type. The emergence of new types of information media and their integration into the structure of media objects have a significant impact on the evolution of the architecture of media objects. The current stage is characterized by the emergence and development of new types of media centers. Functional types of media centers (media libraries, centers of culture and art, media libraries at universities, etc.) are determined herein.
Media centers connect the user with the urban environment that surrounds him. In the 20th century, the development of information technologies resulted in the emergence of media centers. They include media libraries, modern museum centers, media companies. Further development of the media centers requires the analysis of their architecture.The purpose of this work is to analyze the grouping of functional and planning elements of media centers on the example of a media library as the most common and widely available type of medical centers. The functional structure of twenty different media libraries is examined based on the foreign experience.Three functional and planning models of media libraries are proposed, namely: integrated, built-in and cluster. The analysis of their planning elements and functional zones is given herein.
With the creation of the first computer and beginning of digitalization, the emergence of new functional and planning types of media objects have significantly accelerated. Here belong architectural objects and spaces that solve the problems of communication and information exchange processes. Combined IT and new design approaches to media objects appear by the end of the 20th century. Their architecture reflects a rapid change in the society caused by technological progress, economic and political factors.The development trends of media objects late in the 20th century facilitated the development of multifunctional complexes such as media centers, functional and planning types of which are being currently developed. Design and formation of media centers exhibit a changing cultural paradigm, which reflects the technological progress. The article discusses the impact of rapidly developing information technologies on the architecture of media objects. The main results include the diagram of the evolution of architectural types of media objects in the context of IT and the formation of foreign media centers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
