Abstract

The development of architecture of modernism and postmodernism is considered on the example of brutalism style as an oscillating process between the aspiration to severe truthfulness and the predominance of decorativeness. Metamorphoses of Brutalism style depending on the place and time of realisation are considered. It is shown that in all variations the Brutalism style retains its reliance on the archetype of the Hero, which opposes the archetype of the Trickster, a reference for postmodernism. The requirement of severe truthfulness enters as one of the basic attributes of the Hero archetype.
