The phenomenology of architectural “space-time” in the digital dimension

Abstract

Innovations in modeling the environment of architectural objects as a database of localized events require an in-depth study of the convergence potential of the humanities and exact sciences. The ontology of the digital twin of architecture in the categorical pair “space-time” is considered in the concept of “chronolocus”, the meaning of which is reduced to the temporal exposition of architectural space as a process. Synthesis of the topological description of the architectural form at the moment of the event based on the theory of A. Gabrichevsky is seen as a necessary research step in the design of the environment of four-dimensional architectural objects. The applied meaning of the “chronolocus” model as a way of describing a four-dimensional architectural environment lies in the variable possibilities of digital fixation of the “cultural code” of an architectural object in the process of synthesis of “space” in the functional and aesthetic dimension and “time” in the social and event dimension.
