  • Is four-dimensional architecture a metaphor or a reality?

    This article introduces a new method for creating architectural objects that can effectively withstand technological threats. The innovation of the design schemes is based on a unique conceptual duality: the system can be analyzed both in the traditional three-dimensional paradigm of force transmission and using a fundamentally new four-dimensional resource model of stress redistribution. How does this model enable active resource management and adaptation of the structure to changing conditions? This is the focus of this article.

    Keywords: transformation, four-dimensional architecture, spatial rod structures, technogenic threats, transmetric monoparametricism, twisted spatial beam, pentachoron, four-dimensional simplex

  • Perspective directions of application of illusion in architecture

    In this article the existing principles of application of the illusion technique in architecture are considered. The classification of objects by purpose is presented, the key features of classification groups are highlighted. Examples of already existing constructed buildings with different typology are given and analyzed. The target direction of the article is based on the creation of the concept of volume (building) with the use of optical illusions to form a complex solution to clarify the overall concept of the object and achieve the effect of paradox in the viewer. The article also describes in detail the art-architectural and constructive solutions of the proposed concept with the definition of the exact location of the building in relation to the view and approach to it.

    Keywords: Illusion, architectural volume, complex solution, paradox, dematerialization, visual perception, structural element, mirrored surface, hovering effect, tilt angle, master plan organization
