For architectural theory it is important to study the fundamental mechanisms of shaping and the form itself in the context of modern data and concepts of various fields of science. The approaches used by classical geometry and "new", non-Euclidean geometries can be applied to a certain extent to the development of the spatial potential of architecture and urban planning. Innovative spatial forms arise and develop at the intersection of science and art, engineering and architecture. This work is related to various scientific fields and specializations, including geoinformatics, biology, mathematics, crystallography, engineering geometry and computer modeling. Innovative technologies and new tools of scientific and practical work of the designer are changing the principles and concepts of building architectural space. In particular, the design of extremely complex (from a geometric point of view) structures would be impossible without the development of computer technologies. The interdisciplinary approach allows us to reveal a spectrum of previously unknown geometric forms, options for filling and splitting a two-dimensional surface and three-dimensional space. The integration and convergence of scientific achievements, engineering and architecture often leads to the emergence of innovative forms. The main geometric patterns are the same in animate and inanimate nature - in the natural and anthropogenic world, including architecture, from micro to macro level; at the same time, modern ecological thinking is aware of the terrestrial biosphere as an integrated whole. Researches are updated by the onset of a new technological approaches and the synthesis of technologies, blurring the boundaries between the virtual and physical world. This study is theoretical; potential application of the results in educational practice and experimental design is possible.
