Aporias in a discourse on ideas of transhumanism framed in the context of developing a metatheory of urban environmental psychological design

The issues of system-activity formation and complex construction of the aporia in the discourse of transhumanism ideas in the context of developing and describing the metatheory of psychological design of urban environment are considered. In this connection, the compositional aspects of creating a comfortable environment in the city centre of a Siberian settlement were specified and elaborated following the interaction systems of architectural and urban planning complex with the spatial organisation of a designed fragment of urban environment and its colour and light composition. The form and content, techniques, technologies and methods for arranging the unified urban style of buildings and objects filling the trade environment were examined and described in the artistic concept of arranging the elements of psychological design in the unique environment of Irkutsk. The mechanism of artistic method in the context of the construction and development of general metatheory while formulating and solving problems of urban design is revealed, in particular, in their relation to the assimilation of discourse on the ideas of transhumanism in the functional-spatial organisation of the elements of art culture in the urban environment. This approach involves the methodological realisation of the correction function in the process of optimising the artistic image of complex objects in the psychological design of the urban environment. Developing the regulations of design activity to meet the requirements of humanisation of the urban environment allows the aporia in the discourse of transhumanism ideology to be defined and the ways of a promising metatheory of psychological perception of the urban environment, as well as information systems that further enhance the role of visual information in the aesthetic of urban environment, to be addressed.
