Ukrainian Architects of the Baroque Age: Algorithms of the Worldview Development

Abstract

The article raises the problem of the artistic worldviews divergence of the artist (architect) and the commissioner of the construction. It is argued that the problem occurred due to the insufficient influence of aesthetic culture on the educational field in general and in particular, on primary and secondary education. In order to draw corresponding historical parallels, the subject matter of this paper is the Baroque era and the interaction of contemporary architects and commissioners. It is hypothesized that the commonality of artistic worldviews in this tandem was a key reason for its success. Therefore, identifying and investigating the formative factors of a common worldview of the educated circles of the Baroque era may be projected to modern times as an illustrative example of socially relevant architecture. A wide range of approaches was used asthe problem was considered within the axis of“culture—education—society” and in various aspects. The scope of identified factors determined the interdisciplinary nature of the study
