Metamorphoses: Transformations as a discourse of development and a form of life Authors Olga Zheleznyak Irkutsk National Research Technical University https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6276-4773 Downloads PDF (Русский) DOI: https://doi.org/10.51461/issn.2309-3072/77.2279 Keywords: transformations, metamorphosis, ambivalence, architecture, city, transitions, “centaurs”, hybrid environments, mimicries Abstract “Transformations” as the essence of Ovidian metamorphoses are one of the forms of life, the purpose and potentiality of the world’s development. Ambivalence often serves as a kind of stimulus for the emergence of metamorphoses or their basis. The ambivalent potential of the world provokes the expansion of transformations/metamorphoses. “Transformations” represent current trends in architecture and design, including transformations of objects and environments; the emergence of peculiar “architectural centaurs” and hybrid environments; imitations and mimicking facades/environments.
