FORMAL EXPRESSION OF SACRED SPACE IN THE WORKS OF CARL MOSER

Abstract

The article analyzes the imitation of traditional historical forms in the formation of sacred space.
 The main examples of world architecture are presented, which partially or completely copy the historical forms. The development of the sacred architecture of the modernist epoch in its imitation is represented.
 The phenomenon of perception in certain visible figures of objects is an expression of a more general situation, an expression of a certain type of views or collective beliefs. The using of traditional forms in modernist architecture is considered, which at the same time is not a complete rejection of modernist preferences, but also an attempt to reinterpret the geometry of traditional historical forms. The combination of national landscape and local specifics and European established traditional forms of sacred space is presented.
 Contradictions in the perception of sacred space and reading the symbolism of its content are considered. An attempt is also made to adapt the principles of modernism to the needs of the formation of sacred space, in which, after the suspension of historical knowledge, the essence of the phenomenon under study is sought, which is understood as its invariable feature.
 Religion, art, science and language are presented as forms of human thinking about reality with forms of epistemologically understandable symbol.
 The need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and messages that are transmitted through them in the formation of sacred space.
 Symbols pointing out not certain sacred reality, but certain intellectual tendencies, social situations or expressions of culture are singled out.
