AS RELATED TO THE MECHANISM OF EMERGING OF VOLUMETRIC-SPATIAL STRUCTURES WITHIN THE SACRAL ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

The paper is a scrutiny of the process of adopting by people of the ar-chitectural form, as the result of adopting of the category of space. The author studies the mechanism of emerging of the architectural form. Based on adopting of the catego-ry of space and getting the awareness that the space is developed as per the system of axises, people generated the concept of geometrically arranged space. Then artistic component was added to such way of structuring of the space. All the above led to emerging of architecture as a phenomenon. The author, has applied the systematic ap-proach to research and shares his hypothesis on consecutive genesis of the architec-tural form as an independent category. Architectural form development is based on hierarchy of preceding stages which are components of the unified system – from the most common ones and up to the closest to the architectural form. So, we get deeper awareness of types of the volumetric-spatial structures. The author has studied accord-ing researches to form his concept of the spatial archetype. He justifies the statement – the volumetric-spatial structure (VSS) is the basic and only partially geometrically as-sociated lapidary foundation for emerging of architectural forms, with great variety of their specific spatial configurations. Also, despite unlimited amount of architectural forms, the quantity of basic types of VSS is six only. Systematic research of architec-tural form-development has led to determination of its deep inner mechanisms and bet-ter understanding of the category of architectural form.
