Abstract

In the beginning of XXI century a fundamental formalized tendency in contemporary architecture might be discovered. An artistic image of a building does not only take the foreground, but moreover becomes more essential than its functions and other architectural aspects. The change of priorities in perception and evaluation of contemporary architecture is taking its place. It affects temporary objects of architecture in the first place, which are primarily created and perceived as art objects. Nevertheless, buildings created for long-term usage as well often bring their artistic components to the foreground - color theory, texture, symbolism. In the article the attempt is made to trace the underlined tendency and analyze possible outcomes.
