In the previous part of the series of articles on force fields, we got acquainted with the structure of the geobiogenic frame of the Earth, thus paved the way for understanding a new and, at the same time, well-forgotten old design method. Over the past two centuries, our society has greatly deviated from its original vector of development and moved away from nature. The technocratic world does not reckon with the subtle structure of things. Acting within the framework of this concept, we have modern cities devoid of harmony and order. But this is not a reason to despair, as they say - "what is done is done", so it was necessary. Using knowledge of force fields, a reasonable solution would be a complete reformation of the architecture and construction industry, this, to a certain extent, can be called a return to basics.

The concept of enio-design was introduced in the first part of the article, so it is necessary to clarify in more detail the meaning of this term. Eniology is the science of the processes of energy-information exchange in the Universe. Eniology is a modern concept of the most ancient esoteric knowledge of civilization. Thus, the sacred knowledge of bygone civilizations of the past is added to the usual, academic approach to architecture, and the materialistic view of the world order is also revised. Enio-design is a consequence of a full-fledged perception of the world. Any new understanding brings about changes in habitual actions. The deeper the knowledge, the more significant the changes. Enio design is becoming a fundamentally different method. Architecture is, first of all, working with form, matter, geometry. Now the prerequisites and foundations of shaping are changing, although the typology of geometry and drawing remains. In this article, we will try to get a general idea of enio-design in the framework of urban planning.

CONTOUR PATTERN OR COORDINATE GRID

Let's move on to the practical side of things and start with the basics of design, with axes and grids. In academic architecture, any form is the result of the work of the mind; it has substantiations and reference points in the real world, for example, relief and existing buildings. On their basis, the axial composition of the future city is created. The logic and rationality of the use of the territory are also connected. But these are only material aspects, and they are not enough. In enio-design, in addition to the relief and other components, the power frame of the Earth becomes the ground control points, or the axial composition. Accordingly, a new section of exploration work appears, that is, biolocation, which serves to identify lines of force. As a result of these new actions, a kind of subframe, mesh or contour drawing is created. The architect receives a ready-made axial system, additional planning conditions and restrictions within the framework of which he should create. Despite the seeming narrowness of the possibilities, a certain range of expression of will remains.

The new tasks of the architect are, first of all, the drawing of a planning solution, which can no longer be depicted, guided by logic and aesthetics, the template has already been set, you just need to follow the lines of force and take into account the nodes of different quality. Further, on the contour drawing of the cells, it is necessary to carry out functional zoning, combining them into quarters and districts, avoiding pathogenic places and revealing the possibilities of saluberogenic areas. Figuratively, enio-design can be compared to the coloring of a contour drawing, since without additional funds, which we do not yet have, we cannot make changes to the existing structure. The main creative moment is the adaptation of the pattern of lines of force to a comfortable, aesthetic and rational urban environment, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

In the design process, it is important to take into account the scale of the network and the hierarchy of its elements. This can be expressed by laying the main urban roads along more powerful power lines, and not along ordinary ones. The shape of the quarter can also be suggested by the global cells of the high hierarchy. Or, for example, the size of the center will be indicated by the contour and the size of the positive anomalous zone. In a nutshell, this is explained as a method from the general to the particular. Here, an important task is to correctly determine the constituent parts of the load-bearing frame of different scales in urban planning. Dealing with the pattern of lines of force, it is necessary to form a rational and aesthetic layout, without violating the subtle geometry.

OBJECTIVITY OF PLANNING

As already mentioned, the basis of the layout is the drawing of the lines of force of the geobiogenic frame. The most typical pattern is a grid of irregular rectangles. In other words, it can be called a regular layout scheme, clearly oriented to the cardinal points, or rather to the magnetic poles. Thus, an objective substantiation of the parallels and perpendiculars in the city scheme is obtained. The difference from the current approach to the most common planning solution is the binding to the lines of force, and not the choice of the simplest way of organizing the space. Considering the situation through the prism of eniology, it is no longer possible to say that a regular system is not a living structure, if we do not see something, this does not mean that it does not exist. Thus, the regular system of the city receives a natural justification. It is no coincidence that most of the old cities around the world are organized in this way. The only difficult point here is to create expressiveness, since on the plane of a uniform mesh this can be difficult. In the case of neglect of expressiveness, that is, the presence of dominants and internal structure, the settlement will turn out to be very trivial. However, there are often strong distortions in the uniform cells of the Hartmann grid, which just should introduce variety in the building pattern.

Of great interest are places of power or crossroads - these are several powerful streams of a high hierarchy. The potential of such a place is very high, which means that the target orientation must be appropriate. On such sites, it is most reasonable to organize a temple, an energy complex, a building for administration, science or medicine. In any case, it will be the center or sub-center of the settlement. The intersection of three or more lines creates a star pattern, which becomes the axial base of the radial ring pattern. There are not so many such places in the space of the geobiogenic network, which means that there will be much less cities of this type than others. This is fully consistent with the hierarchy of settlements, in which cities with a radial-ring pattern are large and capital cities. As a result, it turns out that it is unreasonable to build a round concentric city just like that in an open field. It is noteworthy that usually places of power are always expressed either by a bright accent on the relief or simply by its complex shape. Additionally, the place of power can be due to the presence of many underground currents, or other things below the surface of the earth.

A separate place is occupied by a mixed or combined layout. Here, as the name suggests, crossroads, regular sections and simply curvilinear formations are connected. In the case of the creation of settlements of a large area, such a combined scheme is practically inevitable, since sections of different structures alternate in a common power frame and very picturesque formations can always interfere with the regular scheme. A mixed scheme does not have to become chaos, given the hierarchy of lines and nodes, it is easy to set priority areas and directions of movement in it. Although this rule is true for any layout. Here, the settlement is formed from polygons and connected by the most suitable road system, unique in each case.

As you can already see, the typology of layouts has not changed, it only received a subtle connection to reality, and the regular system was also rehabilitated. A distinctive feature is now the periodically occurring curvilinearity and naturalness of the structure of the base, which can manifest itself in the picturesque nature of the building. But this is the architect's task, using the existing conditions - not to blindly follow the coordinate grid and repeat all the intricacies of lines of force, but to find optimal solutions.

FUNCTIONAL ZONING

The next stage, after determining the planning scheme, is the distribution of functions across the territory. Here you need to determine the quality of cells and nodes. As mentioned many times before, the most important thing is to deal with places of power, both positive and destructive. The first ones need to be approved in the development and used for their intended purpose. Hide the latter, try to neutralize the influence or at least reduce it. Key points of social and cultural significance can be derived from saluberogenic areas. And the issue of pathogenic territories is easiest to solve by placing recreational zones on them, that is, the complete absence of development.

From a geometric point of view, zoning is based on combining cells into groups, taking into account the hierarchy and location of non-ordinary lines of force. Although this point is already being carried out at the stage of planning decisions. After creating the combined areas, all that remains is to distribute their functions. Thus, quarters, districts, and so on must be formed from many small areas. The function of the created territories is assigned in relation to the quality of the cells and the location of the territory on the plan. In principle, there is nothing new here, all zoning rules are similar to the academic method, which is completely logical and convenient if fully implemented. From the business center to the periphery, residential quarters interspersed with public use points diverge, and utility and industrial areas are located outside the main perimeter. At the same time, 9 principles of urban planning continue to operate. It is important to create a full-fledged development project for several years ahead and follow the chosen course precisely. This is necessary for the consistency, uniformity and consistency of development, in which industrial enterprises do not end up in residential areas, and the business center does not move to the outskirts.

The organization of the road network, which is also a functional area, becomes very interesting. She, like everything else, is tied to the lines of force. But everything is not so simple here. Here we are working not so much with squares as with lines. An ordinary line has an active effect in a narrow range, which means that by making it the axis of the road we will not achieve anything. Therefore, additional lane axes are introduced and, accordingly, the width of the road is determined by the size of the cells, which is quite suitable for modern requirements. The rest of the transport zone is formed simply from neutral cells. It is advisable to take into account the hierarchy of Hartman lines and choose the most powerful for the main roads. The main thing here is not to contradict the vectors of the lines, as they say not to scratch against the grain. It is not by chance that attention has been paid to the issue of the transport zone. Since studying the architectural heritage, one can notice that city roads are usually equal to the width of the field line, and this is not enough for a comfortable life. Therefore, the modern approach to the transport area is more successful.

ADAPTATION

If we literally follow the existing structure of the geobiogenic network, then the urban area may turn out to be not too convenient and aesthetic. Therefore, it is necessary to make moderate adjustments and sacrifice something. There are variables and constants in the structure of the power frame. Variables include neutral cells, place of power constants, pathogenic zones, and key power lines of high power. The bottom line is that the situation with constants needs to be played around using variables. In other words, the architect simply adds free cells to stable formations until the situation on the plan becomes easy to use and compositionally correct. The whole point lies precisely in neutrality, that is, by attaching such cells to different zones, nothing is disturbed, but only the form of planning formations is clarified and ordered.

This is how street profiles are created. Indeed, from the point of view of power flows, the presence of wide lawns and sidewalks does not matter, but they are necessary for a settlement, but this has already been said above. Also, for example, a place of power that has a complex form is more rational to supplement and make more free territory, thereby preserving the logic of neighborhoods and roads. In general, this can be explained for a long time, perhaps here it is more correct to draw up an algorithm of actions for any case. But such things can also be done by relying on flair and intuition, which is one of the important abilities of an architect.

NEW LOOKS AT OLD THINGS

After rethinking the reasons for shaping in urban planning, one can soberly assess the cities of the past. Of course, it can be assumed that there were times of decline before, when people forgot sacred knowledge or some kind of community, broke away from the people and went their own way. Perhaps in some places there were no suitable craftsmen, or for other reasons the cities were built without taking into account the subtle side of the world. But for the most part, the preserved heritage is based on a link with all levels of our world. Yes, and the most important, valuable, those structures are preserved, in which a lot has been invested, which means that such serious evidence can be safely trusted.

Considering the historical centers of European cities, it becomes clear that almost all of them are built on very complex crossroads or places of power and have a combined layout. This is primarily reflected in the winding and complex streets, as well as in the irregular shape of some buildings. Perhaps at that time the compact arrangement behind the wall was really relevant, as a result, the building was extremely cramped, but at the same time the principle of height was taken into account, which did not allow the construction of buildings above 18 meters. As a result, at first glance, the chaotic cities of Europe are not the stupidity of architects or the spontaneity of uncontrolled development, but an accurate calculation and search for optimal options in a complex section of the geobiogenic framework.

In the countries of the Middle East, the situation is different. Looking at the excavations of ancient settlements and temple complexes, one can confidently describe the local geobiogenic network as flawlessly regular. This is how the development of the interfluve countries, Arabia and North Africa looks like. There are no manifestations of a totalitarian or dictatorial regime, expressed in strict parallels and perpendiculars, as well as an exaggeration of the cult of the ruler's personality, conditioned by the powerful dominants of religious buildings, although this is how we were taught in school. Now it is clear that grandiose structures are the fixation and use of places of power, and a flat layout is identical to flat fields of force.

It should be noted that all the information given in the articles of this cycle is based on the study of the textbook "Living Fields of Architecture" by Mikhail Limonad and Andrey Tsiganov. Information from electronic articles and personal experience was also used.

CONCLUSION

After revising the perception of the layout, it becomes clear that there are no such concepts as traditional, good or bad, harmful or useful. All of them, if, of course, are based on the structure of the force field, and not taken from the head, physically manifest the structure of the world that is not visible to us, and therefore are favorable for living. It is wiser to integrate into living space and receive advantages than to go against, suffer and be perplexed by the problems that have piled up. The task of an architect in enio-design is the ability to introduce an urban structure into the natural world, without violating its rules and showing concern for future residents. The architects of the past were well aware of the existence of the geobiogenic network and correlated their work with multilevel environmental conditions. So we should learn from them, remember and restore such valuable knowledge. But adopting the knowledge and methods of the past, it is advisable not to abandon the reasonable urban solutions of our time, which are more than enough. We have touched only a small part of the theory of urban planning, so in the future we will return to it many times.
