Abstract
The article considers the architectural style and its physical, artistic, symbolic forms. Symbolism in architecture has been used since antiquity as a transmission of certain sacred information. It traditionally utilizes digital and graphic symbols. Modern architecture partially uses both traditional symbolism and new solutions. Classical and modern techniques, their combination are always in demand, as they give an architect the tools to work at the highest artistic level the architectural symbolism represents. The purpose of this work is to identify methods of elaborating the symbolic level of the architectural style. Research methods include the analysis of symbolic techniques, such as digital/numerical symbols; graphic/geometric symbols; conceptually-planning and conceptual spatial levels provided with associations, metaphors and direct imitation. All techniques are illustrated by classical and modern architectural objects and architectural competitions on space exploration (Moontopia, Moon Trip). Symbolism of architectural style considers the prerogative of classical and ancient architecture; it is in demand and demonstrates a new development stage and acquires a modern symbolic language.
