Архитектурные прототипы: вчера и сегодня

Abstract

he history of architecture implies a continuous search for options, and the aim of these experiments is to find the best image, a prototype; the same is true of the evolution of forms in nature. That is why architecture is mostly conservative. Only the innovations in ideology or technology define the time when one stylistic prototype succeeds another. It may seem that commitment to the chosen prototypes is a cherished architectural virtue. Nevertheless, the freedom and the ability to work out new languages and solutions have become the most important discoveries of the masters of the 20th century.
