Abstract

This article offers a brief analysis of the main prerequisites of the emergence of nonlinear architecture.
It is shown why conceptions, which only few decades ago seemed fantastic, are being
realized in the projects of modern architects today. The influence of different cultural, scientific, social
and economic factors is considered. It is proved that a certain artistic idea always underlies nonlinear
forms which seem random and its design is realized basing on precise mathematical calculation.
It is confirmed that the phenomenon of nonlinear architecture must be considered preeminently
as a complex phenomenon. It is shown that ideas from the different and often unrelated areas of
knowledge are melted in a «melting-pot» of nonlinear architecture. It is proved that analysis of prerequisites
of development and multidisciplinary approach to the research of nonlinear architecture
will allow us to predict a vector of possible development of this style.
