Trans-temporal ideas - Abstract
Attention is paid to the very moment of the master's creativity while making form and meaning. The results of the creative process reconstruction proceeding through geometrical transformations and individual stages (flattening, coding, disjunction, naming, shifting and struggle of parts, balancing) are presented. The process is treated as a sustainable reproduction, cyclical actions repetition and working with meaning blocks – a design ritual. Geometric forms change and vary, but there exist the stable form sets, favorite objects in architectural history and past masters with whom he argues and dialogues. Multiple images influxes refer to various imagery domains (fairy-tale, folklore, ancient myth, engineering and mechanics). He borrows and rethinks the principles and schemes of shaping – migration in architecture. Spatial discoveries are transferred into other architects’ objects. Regular process course is interrupted by alien inclusions, occasional invasions of natural elements (light, air, water) associated with plastic images and appearance of unexpected spatial effects, disturbance and finding harmony. A tumbleweed concept is proposed explaining the seed-ideas trans-temporal transfer – specific to the avant-garde way of reproduction.
