Abstract
The problems of the ecological crisis in cities, new conditions of the natural environment integration into architecture appear today, and the quality improvement and representativeness of urban landscapes expand. Arborsculpture is of great practical interest which is still insufficiently developed in Russia. Purpose: The aim of this work is to consider typological characteristics of arborsculpture objects in Russia and abroad, including city sculptures and sacral objects. Novelty: A new vision of sculpture as bionic art objects of the modern world. The typology is proposed for arborsculpture objects based on geometric shaping embedded in the structure of plants. Methods: Typological analysis and semantic testing of arborsculpture objects, systematization and structuring of research data. Results: Two categories typology of the identified arborsculpture objects in Russia and abroad is determined and tested: basic primitive geometry (subcategories "single", "composite", subtypes "circular (vertical and horizontal plane)", "arched", "rectangular"), polymetric structure (subcategories "identified" (subtypes "human forms", "digital code", "spatial interpretation of art forms"), and "symbolic-abstract"). A number of aspects are identified for the formation of these types of objects in the public spaces of the world's cities. Practical implications: The implementation of arborsculpture objects in urban landscape will contribute to the change of depressive areas and the cultural and leisure infrastructure for the needs of citizens.
