Art of Architectural Form Making

Acquisition of the art of architectural form making cannot be limited by study of the central tenet of the theory of architectural composition and analysis of case in point of dramatic building and facilities. It is more successful with a well-balanced combination of theoretical and practical courses of the subject. Actually, it is necessary not only to know the definitions and classifications, types and characteristics of a composition, but also to learn to innovate, construct a three-dimensional spatial shape in a way that every time it represented an artistic-expressive system of subordinate elements. It is exactly the substantive practice work to acquire immeasurable value: ‘…an eye studies under hand’ – wrote the Russian physiologist Sechenov I.M. (1829-1905), developing an idea about motor apparatus of a human as a means of reliable perception of spatial relationships of real objects (Choice selection. M., 1947, p.343). For this reason, the defining role during deepening of the architectural composition course in the leading architectural schools is assigned to the practical way – definition and performance of a number of serial jobs.
