Abstract:

The article deals with the actual problem of identifying the constitutive features of urban inscriptions in modern public space. The definition of the concept of urban inscriptions, their basic classification (institutional and personal) and comparative analysis are introduced. Aside from that to classify constitutive signs of inscriptions the author distinguishes two groups of main characteristics: functional and structural.

Abstract:

The research object is the chromatic “zero sign” understood as a meaning without a form, as an absence of positive significance, which should have been presented analogically with the other syntagmas, where a sign with the same meaning has an explicit form. The goal of the study is to undertake a theoretical reconstruction of ways and means through which “zero signs” manifested themselves in the urban space of the modern period.

Abstract Contemporary urban space and contemporary urban life is rife with signs and markers with either collective or individual meaning, as the main symbolic regulator/leader in the socio-cultural presence and management of urban space. Urban city centres present a high degree of sign density that on the one hand express established conventional signs (in the strict sense of the term), which are accepted in a fairly, general way, and on the other hand define semantic symbolisms according to which the regulating modes and attitudes in our urban behavior are respectively indicated.

This essay investigates the configuration of public space in Taipei City using the example of a small urban park. In particular, this essay considers how that space functioned and functions as a site for “occupation”—that is, when and how the public space was produced by, brought under the control of, or performed in by a specific cultural agent, whether a colonial government or skateboarder. Those occupations delineate and transform the space for purposes ranging from the official, macro, and long-lived to the subversive, partial. and fleeting.

During the communist era, neon signs were something Poland could boast of. At that time, the streets were drowning in luminous advertising, which was impossible not to notice. Recent years have brought disastrous quality of urban advertising and the prevailing arbitrariness has contributed to the degeneration of urban spaces. Colourful neon signs once prevailed in Polish streets, serving as a model example of advertising whose impact was crucial in the perception of urban space. Today, neon signs are considered works of art, and the most valuable achievement of Polish 20th century design, whic

AbstractDuring her stay in Beijing (1933–1946), Hedda Hammer (later known as Hedda Morrison) made a visual record of shop signs with her camera.

I argue that Morrison's photographic record reveals a fascinating element of street culture in the capital city that the textual records cannot document. I also contend that shop signs worked as genuine urban markers of the various trades and crafts in the city. As such, these artefacts constituted an e

The role and significance of traditional crafts, such as blacksmithing, carving, artistic ceramics and monumental painting, in the creation of advertising signs in historic city centers is explored. It is analyzed how these crafts form the visual identity of the urban space, contributing to the preservation of cultural heritage and the authentic atmosphere of the old quarters. Special attention is paid to the influence of craft traditions on the aesthetics and functionality of signs, as well as their combination with modern requirements for design and urban planning. The preservation of craft

Abstract:

The urban area consists of systems and sub-systems that have relationships with each other like a network. The development and changes in urban space are believed to influence the relationship between systems and also the meaning of all elements forming the urban spatial area. This also happens to the primary elements which are signs for the urban area. Given the changes in the city area, the existence of the primary elements as signs of a city area needs to be explored. The study is carried out on the primary elements in the city area which has a relatively complete city function. The case st

Abstract. Detecting public transit signs in urban environments is a complex and challenging task due to the significant variability of these signs across different regions and cities. Unlike standardized traffic signs, transit signs often vary considerably, requiring adaptable and robust solutions for effective detection. In this work, we propose a novel Domain-Specific Agnostic Segmentation Method with Contrastive Learning, integrated into a scalable two-phase detection pipeline. This innovative approach enables our model to adapt to city-specific visual patterns without manual prompts, achie

Abstract:

The article discusses recent changes to the urban linguistic landscape that were instigated by the spread of the coronavirus infection and expedient public code introduced by city authorities to regulate life in the pandemic-stricken megalopolis. It focuses on relevant signs and images as new entities of the multimodal dialog between the city and its residents. While before 2019 city signs were elements of the city navigation system, the pandemic realities changed their status and role in urban linguistic landscape. The study is based on a dataset of visual records collected across Moscow’s pu

Abstract:

Semiotics is a technique of studying the workings and functions of signs. The researcher analyzes Roland Barthes' semiotic approach which develops the ideas of one of the semioticians, Ferdinand de Saussure, and tries to apply the study of signs more broadly. The focus of this research is to find the meaning of a fashion phenomenon, namely urban fashion. Over time, the urban word developed as a person's lifestyle, so that the urban word was associated with fashion. In this study, the method used is qualitative. Carrying out a qualitative method system, researchers can analyze an image or photo

Abstract:

This study assessed the efficiency with which young and older adults of varying field dependence extract information from traffic signs. It also identified some visual attributes of signs which affect recognition time. Two experiments were conducted. In Exp. 1, digitized signs, embedded in rural and urban backgrounds, were presented on a computer monitor. Subjects indicated on which side a target sign had appeared. Analysis showed that recognition times were dependent on age and field-dependence scores. Also, visual backgrounds and spatial frequency of pictographs affected RTs. In Exp. 2, reco

Abstract:

This paper traces signs of urban culture in Finnish fiction films from the 1950s by drawing on a multimodal analysis of audiovisual content. The Finnish National Filmography includes 208 feature films released between 1950–1959. Our approach to the automatic analysis of media content includes aural and visual object recognition and speech recognition. We concentrate on features that epitomize urbanity, including visual objects, such as forms of transportation (cars, horses) and sounds (rural and urban sounds, speech). Based on the scores and frequencies of these recognitions, we observe quanti
