Aberration of Architecture

Abstract

An aberration is a phenomenon whose visual equivalent is a blurred, bifurcated representation of the observed object in the observer's eyes and mind. The metaphysical perspective of aberration in relation to architecture consists, first, in the loss of the former significance of the unified mainstream in the understanding of architectural events by modern architecture. The figurative order invariant, for example, has long lost its monopoly of integration into "real" architecture, even in a conventional form as a sign of conformity to anthropomorphism.

Secondly, different interpretations of the same architectural phenomena are the result of the theoretical justification of architecture as a form of solving the ideological problems of social groups pursuing different life interests.

The contradictions have become so sharp that the atmosphere of mutual annihilation is already evident. And architecture, as always, synchronously reflects the current state of the world with its forms.

But today, pretentious, extravagant exercises in design and construction, some architects are valued as the avant-garde that marks the beginning of a new era, while others - like decadence, a direct threat to the humanitarian mission was urgent signal the need to change the paradigm of social existence and improvement of the principles of the habitat.

The article explores the process of changes taking place.
