ARCHITECTURAL FORMATION: THE IMPERFECT STRUCTRUAL STABILITY AND PERFECT INSTABILITY OF THE CREATION'S LANGUAGE 

Ada Kwiatkowska

Abstract  

According to the classical theory of architecture, form is an expression of visual, mathematical and social values, being the canonical criteria of evaluation of the aesthetics, logic and ethics. Digital technologies revolutionized creation of the architectural forms , thanks to the introducing of time and information factors to design process. Present forms of digital architecture are presented in the aspect of structural stability of the creation's language - from indistinctness of the intuitive-colloquial thinking (imperfect structural stability) to the precision of the rational thinking (perfect structural instability). Digital forms get out partly of the classical criteria of the spatial structures' interpretation. Do such notions as beauty or ugliness, truth or falseness, good or bad, used in description of the architectural form in the creative process, mean something today?the borders between the interior and exterior, place and space, form and context, object and process. Is any form here?.
