Thus said Hippocrates

Abstract

The traditional consideration of architectural history as a linear process, where one style successively replaces another, still dominates, but does not explain many phenomena. V.S. Goryunov substantiated a fundamentally different, non-linear model of the historical process in architecture on the basis of architecture of the 19th – early 20th centuries. V. S. Goryunov and M. P. Tubli proposed a stylistic polyphony of architecture with the introduction of the concepts of “Art Nouveau period” and “anti-eclectic movement”. In October 2021, a collection of articles by V. S. Goryunov entitled “Theoretical Problems of the History of Architecture” was published. The articles in this collection represent the main theoretical ideas of the scientist.
