APPLICATION OF MODERN STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS FOR SMALL ARCHITECTURAL FORMS IN EDUCATIONAL DESIGN PROJECTS OF SECOND-YEAR STUDENTS

Abstract

The design of small architectural forms plays a crucial role in students' educational projects. It represents the first independent project in which students develop their own concepts, integrating aesthetics with functionality and practicality. Small architectural forms (SAFs) contribute significantly to shaping an aesthetic and functional urban environment. Bus stop pavilions, as one of the primary types of SAFs, enhance passenger comfort while waiting for transport and influence the overall appearance of urban spaces. Various design solutions for such pavilions can be tailored to specific district characteristics, climatic conditions, and the architectural style of the city. However, during the educational design process, students often struggle with conceptualizing a bus stop complex due to a lack of understanding of the structural role in its formation.
