The complexity of architectural form: some basic questions
Kulic, V. |
|
| Abstract | |
| This paper explores some basic notions relevant for an investigation of the complexity of architectural form and of a way it changes through time. The hypothesis is that architectural forms within the same formal tradition tend towards more complex configurations with the passage of time. Relations between the elements of architectural form at early stages in the development of a stylistic tradition are simple; they get more complex with applications of methods such as superimposition and deformation of elements and by more abundant use of curving forms. Two stylistic traditions are used as examples: Classical (from the Renaissance to the Baroque) and Modern, although there are others as well. | |
