| Summary: | The application of coloristics in landscape architecture is a promising direction that enables using color to form the landscape objects in accordance with their functional and thematic peculiarities. The purpose of the research is to analyze the available scientific information regarding the dependence of the color solution of landscape architecture objects and their functional and thematic purpose as well as to assess park coloring and to develop recommendations for the formation of its functional (target) coloring. The Taras Shevchenko Park in Kyiv is the target of our research. Landscape coloring assessment was carried out according to Oleksiichenko et al. (2018), that provides for the following: photographing main park viewpoints during the four seasons, processing these photos using graphic editors and determining percentages of main colors in the park landscape. The determining of park functional features was done according to classifications proposed by Rodichkin, 1990; Kucheriavyi, 2005; Teodornskiy et al., 2011, et al. The dependence of color solution of landscape architecture objects according to their functional purpose was analyzed. The colored patterns, in which the coloring of the Taras Shevchenko Park is formed in different seasons, were determined. In general, the green color scheme (25.3 - 41.3%) dominates in the park coloring, except for winter coloring (1.4%), which is due to the poor assortment of evergreen plants, and the gray color scale that forms the paths paving (27.7 - 44.6%). The current park coloring is favorable for both study work and recreation, as a result of color influence of on the psycho-emotional state of visitors. Although achromatic colors dominate in the winter, their oppressive effect is balanced by a significant segment of color accents (9.9%). The color schemes were proposed for forming the functional (target) coloring of the park in particular for as memorial, playground, walking areas, etc. Also, the color bearers, which enable alteration of the park colouring at the reconstruction stage, were proposed. |
