Архитектурният символизъм като израз на съвременната традиция

Abstract

When the global expansion of orthodox modernism was subjected to heavy criticism of public opinion and cultural critics in the second half of the XXth century, the space of rational innovation in the territory of contemporary architecture became smaller. At the same time, those creative tendencies giving preference to the variety of traditional architectural principles started to play a more active role. The attempts to introduce the spiritual meaning of architecture as well as its role of total value showed up against the total pragmatism that existed earlier. The author introduces symbolism as a necessity for enriching the contemporary architectural buildings, for giving opportunity of people to communicate freely, for constructing a field of shared meanings.
