| Title of the article | Structural aspects of the architecture of XX-XXI centuries |
| Abstract. | Structural aspects of the architecture of XX-XXI centuries reflect the desire of searching new relationships and interactions with the natural environment, tactful introducing of technological developments. The treatment of the principles of functioning, development, formation of nature (a living organism) contributes to rethinking the architectural object as a «second» nature. Structural aspects of architecture: space, morphogenesis, context and process. The aspect of space (inner space) displays the semantic content of architectural space (space philosophy – Peter Eisenman; saturated and empty spaces – Daniel Libeskind; descriptiveness, functionality – Greg Linn; rationalize architecture – Richard Rogers). The aspect of morphogenesis (outer shell) is characterized by the interpretation of natural forms, obtained through computer manipulations and calculations (sculptural – Frank Owen Gehry; architectural ekzo skeleton – Santiago Calatrava; plasticity of forms – Zaha Hadid). The aspect of context (interaction with the natural environment) reflects the degree and nature of the interaction of the object with the environment – the city, the natural environment (environmental configuration – Remment Koolhaas; the harmony of the contest and the object – Renzo Piano; the ability to change architectural objects – Ken Yeang; bioclimatic approach – Nicholas Grimshaw). The aspect of the process (software) is based on the introduction of technological development and software design method; formation of architectural space in accordance with the final program of its functioning and the space «consumption» (range of factors – MVRDV; dynamic – Coop Himmelb (l) au; the interaction of architecture, environment and human – Peter Zumthor; ecology – Norman Foster). |
