ABSTRACT

The article studies the Futurism concept in the stylistic ontogenesis of design and architectural solutions of XX - early XXI. The author refers to the origins of futuristic architecture to fix the primary ideology of this style and then evaluates its congruence with the conceptual views and the worldview position of the artists who created their architectural works at each stage of Futurism development. The hypothesis is put forward that architectural styles formulated as a result of visual art evolution, really accepted by the public and recognized by the professional community, and which occupied steady positions in the world arena of architecture, are the result of performance in which the artist, keeping the ideology of the style, integrates the extra perspective art elements, corresponding to trends of the particular epoch of architecture. The verification of this hypothesis, undertaken through the "sketching" of the contemporary Futurism image, was carried out by researching the actual trends in architecture of the 21^st century, identifying their main features, and formulating the parameters of the order on their basis, which will define the nature of the new steady state of the architectural system, expressed in a futuristic performance. The futuristic performance was defined as a processual kind of architectural art that extends and spreads to all the new stylistic solutions, thus becoming an interdisciplinary phenomenon, characterizing the synthesis of architectural, visual (painting, graphics, sculpture) and digital (visual effects, created through digital technology) arts, which allows us to see the eclectic vectors of its development. The study of the Futurism directions mentioned above allowed us to conclude that each architect, each artist or designer sought to reflect in their work not only the extrospective (material message) but also the introspective image of the environment (artistic and spiritual message), in which this work is embedded.
