Curvilinear forms in architecture of buildings and erections

Abstract

To date, the existing architectural styles have been systematized with their modifications, subspecies and style trends in relation to thin shells and shell structures. There are several chronologies of the development of architectural styles. It has been established that the intensity and variety of the use of analytical and analytically non-assignable surfaces in the architecture of shell structures, thin shells and in the external forms of various structures can be divided into five time periods. The last fifth period was decided to be called "The revival of interest in shells and curvilinear structures, the emergence of new architectural styles." According to the research materials, it began at the beginning of the XXI century. This article shows that up to now 37 analytical surfaces out of more than six hundred known surfaces have been used. The authors constate the real situation in the architecture of curvilinear forms and show the increasing interest of architects and builders in such objects. It is shown that since 2000, 16 main architectural styles have been used, not counting the latest styles declared by architects, but designated by one or two structures. Analytical and analytically undetectable surfaces that have found application in real structures are listed with specific examples. The architects who participated in the design of the most significant buildings and structures of curvilinear forms at the beginning of the XXI century are indicated. The literature used contains 32 titles.
