Abstract


Outline the context. In the rural architectonic landscape space, as well as in the urban environment there is the functional and emotionally  esthetic interaction of landscape elements. One of the most vital features of rural landscape space is its abilities to work on the human soul. If at the beginning of the century the profoundness principle dominanted which expressed itself in the massiveness, scale and proportion of forms, at present these peculiarities of quality are searched in the relations of synthesis while  playing in the expression of time, space and stylistics language.

The aim of the research - artistically esthetic aspect includes architectonically spatial and visual qualities of the cultural historical heritage  and populated places.

Methodology.

The landscape relating to the cultural  history  in rural environment is often defined in united harmony with the estate building, its part of the park and the elements of green field. The old roal bed of the iestate with a tree line or the plantation  of lanes may be considered too.

The perception of rural landscape relating to the cultural history  in the principal sight lines or sight points is often from the roads. The expression of the visually esthetic quality of the landscape space in influenced by the length of the sight line, the width of the sight angle and the side wings of a specific sight point. The sight lines or the perspectives are visually very suscetible and fragile where this expressiveness may be lost particularly quickly by including unattentively new building scales and propotions in the landscape or by developing new groups of tree and bush plantations.
