THE PROBLEM OF TRADITION IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

It has been established that the traditional approach in architecture should be considered as a socially and aesthetically determined phenomenon; the issues of implementing the capabilities of the traditional approach are considered in the context of the goals and objectives of contemporary architectural creativity.The problems of evolution of the "folk" architectural tradition are considered together with architectural activity, and a principled analytical approach to its implementation.Using the criteria for the systematization of architectural theory, attention is focused on the stages of development of ideas about tradition in architecture, due to the growth of the socio-cultural significance of the original approach to architecture and the manifestation of traditions in architectural creativity.At the beginning of the twentieth century, traditionalist philosophers spoke of the crisis of a crushed, positivist, mechanical-quantitative science. They called for a return to a new level to a pre-scientific, syncretic view of the world. Moreover, this unifying way of thinking must choose the naive manner of speech inherent in life and at the same time use it in proportion to how it is necessary for the evidence of evidence. This «naivety of language», which clearly expresses clear thoughts, today is sorely lacking in architecture studies, which are replete with new terms, but often suffer from blurred content.Innovation, which at first denied the tradition of historicism, soon becomes a «tradition» itself. However, after spending a long period in his clothes, it then strives back into the bosom of historicism, and it can be qualified as a new and daring innovation. Today you can find such examples when, tired of the dominance of «glass» architecture, you can suddenly see a return to the classics, which you just want to call an innovation.Actualization of the ideas of traditional originality in modern architecture is conditioned by specific tasks and prerequisites and is a natural stage in the evolution of world architecture. At the same time, the problem of dialectical interaction of traditional and modern foundations in architecture is obvious; a problem that is becoming more acute as the methods, capabilities and goals of the construction industry change.
