Direction of modern design activities
Abstract
The article analyses the main patterns that characterize the avant-garde design practice, and are key for the area under consideration. First of all, this is the conditioning of the principles of organizing the architectural environment by post-Fordism, as the leading economic platform that shapes the needs of society. Among the characteristic regularities of parametricism, the following are also noted: a new look at the relationship between architectural form and function, and a new interpretation of the classic professional categories: scale and tectonics. The twentieth century presented to mankind a multitude of scientific discoveries and cultural events that turned our understanding of life on the planet, its forms and development. In the past 20th century, along with new changes as a result of scientific research, thousands of inventions, cultural and educational innovations, and the field of architecture has brought several achievements to humanity.
