The article reveals the impact of synergetics and the evolutionary synergetic picture of the world on the architectural, urban intentions of the 20th and 21st centuries. The formation of architectural discourse is consistently shown, in which the leading place is occupied by figurative symbols, signs of a systematic (consistency), evolutionary systems, symbiosis, metabolism, self-organization, self-development, nonlinearity, dissipativity, or openness of the system, i.e. its ability to share information with the environment. The latter generates the rules of shaping in architecture, corresponding new architectural ideas, in particular, the many types of nonlinear architecture, where nonlinearity is read and embodied in different ways. These are both a surreal understanding of nonlinearity which creates a seemingly random, chaotic interweaving of lines, the possibility of infinite continuation of a building, and considering nonlinearity as the opposite of linearity, smoothness, straightness. Urban trends such as metabolism and symbiosis, synthesizing the mental unity of man and naturewith the basic ideas of synergetics, a synergistic picture of the world are approved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
