The mystery and paradox of architectural theory Authors Alexander Rappaport Downloads PDF (Русский) DOI: https://doi.org/10.51461/projectbaikal.72.1999 Keywords: architecture, history, human activity, avant-garde, intuition, Vitruvius Abstract The article analyses different aspects and paradoxes of the contemporary theory of architecture. The ideas of physics, philosophy, poetry and language theory have been translated into the language of architectural forms. The absence of architectural theory is illustrated by the avant-garde architectural practices. The article studies the historical movement, epochs in the interaction of social reality and architectural theory confirming the syncretism of architectural practice and theory.
