| Title of the article | Creative method of Naum Gabo and his influence on the shaping of architecture and art |
| Abstract. | The article discusses the work of constructivist Naum Gabo, and the impact of his method of artistic design in the development of modern architecture and formfinding. The paper analyzes the emergence of new trends in architecture, abstract art and sculpture, which are based on the use of mathematical models of complex geometric surfaces, topological transformations of the classical polyhedra and various tessellations. It is shown that modern art works created by computer programs and numerical methods, in spite of the wide variety of approaches have stylistic unity with constructivism of 20-60s of the last century. The present study suggests a continuity and succession in the development of styles in architecture and art of modernism and contemporary trends, including parametrism as the main style of the post-industrial era. However, the work has shown the need for fundamental research of new styles that are based on mathematical models. |
