Morphologic insights of contemporary architecture

The "Morphologic Insights of Contemporary Architecture" are the result of a unified reinforcement of the prerequisites of modern architecture. Historical, theoretical, and significant examples of these prerequisites were presented at the beginning of the article. New developments in urban life, the emergence of overcrowding in megacities, concepts for improving the urban layer, the impact of housing on Earth's climate anxiety, and the development of sustainable philosophy were covered. The next part of the article examined the analytical establishment of contemporary buildings shaped by the precedents of building types, including a graphical analysis of the most characteristic buildings, leading to the following morphologic insights: 1. A transition from the “Rational South” into postmodernism, deconstructivism, morphosis, and the creation of new structures; 2 & 3. The invention of large complexes constructed in a unified and multiplied order of constituent parts; 4. Creation of urban and regional layouts of cluster zones; 5. Mega structural and local kinetic concepts of new urban developments; 6. Urban reconstructions involving large complexes within the modern context of metropolitan cities; 7. Concepts of facilities created by countries with both large and limited investment capabilities. The final instances were presented concerning complexes in Armenia today.

Abstract

The "Morphologic Insights of Contemporary Architecture" are the result of a unified reinforcement of the prerequisites of modern architecture. Historical, theoretical, and significant examples of these prerequisites were presented at the beginning of the article. New developments in urban life, the emergence of overcrowding in megacities, concepts for improving the urban layer, the impact of housing on Earth's climate anxiety, and the development of sustainable philosophy were covered. The next part of the article examined the analytical establishment of contemporary buildings shaped by the precedents of building types, including a graphical analysis of the most characteristic buildings, leading to the following morphologic insights: 1. A transition from the “Rational South” into postmodernism, deconstructivism, morphosis, and the creation of new structures; 2 & 3. The invention of large complexes constructed in a unified and multiplied order of constituent parts; 4. Creation of urban and regional layouts of cluster zones; 5. Mega structural and local kinetic concepts of new urban developments; 6. Urban reconstructions involving large complexes within the modern context of metropolitan cities; 7. Concepts of facilities created by countries with both large and limited investment capabilities. The final instances were presented concerning complexes in Armenia today.
