The artistic and esthetic image of the prototown
The article describes the artistic and esthetic image of the prototown, using Arkaim and the "Country of towns" as an example. Composite solutions of this artistic architecture are connected with landscape symbolism and space harmonisation. The "Country of towns" architecture had the figurative beginning and was an artistic expression of public ideas. It was the first time that people of the bronze era in the Euro-Asian steppe began to realise the accumulated experience of consciousness by creating the harmonious form influencing esthetic senses of an person in monumental engineering and architectural forms of prototowns. The artistic and esthetic architectural image of Arkaim and the "Country of towns" is presented within four levels of life, which is in detail structured by groups of means (a thing, an activity-symbol, a thought-sign, a category): 1) ancient settlements restored by means of archaeological reconstruction, dwellings and a set of artifacts; 2) the art-esthetic activity-shaped historical reconstruction of the society life within the borders of artifacts; 3) a verbal and sign level ( thinking, language, a word, a sign, an idea) as an ideal-objective artistic and esthetic cogitative form of the prototown in an individual’s consciousness in the linguistic and cultural and logical reconstruction; 4) the extreme passionar energy of the universal-living standard of prototown life in the philosophical reconstruction.
