Abstract

Purpose: to highlight the role and significance of tectonics as a means of poeticization of architectural objects and to substantiate the relationship between physical and metaphysical components of architecture in this context. As well as a retrospective analysis of the transformation of understanding the concept of “tectonics” and clarifying the relevance of its classical interpretation to the realities of modern architectural practice in the context of identifying the current state of academic discourse on the concept of tectonics and its poetic component.
Methodology: generalization based on the results of the analysis of existing approaches to the description and understanding of the concept of architecture; analysis of examples of the use of tectonic qualities of forms in architectural practice; comparison of different methods of manifestation of tectonic qualities of structures; analysis of existing trends in architecture in order to outline the further development of the research topic.
Results: the essence of the concept of tectonics was analyzed and its role in the formation of the poetics of an architectural work was clarified; a number of samples of architectural works for tectonic expressiveness were analyzed; regularities in the development of scientific discourse on the essential content of the concept of tectonics were revealed; tendencies and features of development of tectonic semiotics were characterized; the necessity of taking into account the tectonic aspect in architectural design was substantiated.
Scientific novelty: the historical transformation of the essence of architecture was revealed; the significance of architectonics in architectural design were revealed and characterized; the necessity of taking into account the tectonic aspect in the design of architectural objects was substantiated; summary of the current state of professional discourse of the research topic was provided; an analysis of trends and prospects for further development of the science of architecture was accomplished;
Practical significance: the results of the research can be used in theorizing of tectonical concept. Also, it can be used in further development and systematization of research in architecture.
