Metarchitecture: Architectural perception in science, technology and in creative imagination
The meaning of the term 'architecture' experienced explosive broadening and diversification after the birth of digital era, and this revolutionary trend continues far beyond the digital technology. Such radical change may be compared only with another ancient term - 'mechanics', which had experienced two "revolutions" in theory - with the birth of quantum mechanics in 1900 &1905, in practical sphere - with the birth of nano-mechanics about a century later and then, as the nano-mechanical devices, swiftly proliferating into nearly all fields of human life and activities. To reveal the uniting foundation for so generalized architectural perception we should be more specific in the concept of "Space". This is suggested in present work in the frame of specified concept of the 'Virtual Dimensions of Functional Space'. Various system, both - the natural and the artificial ones, may exist and function in different virtual functional spaces extending in various numbers of the dimensions - from one to two to three and up to infinity of virtual dimensions. Detailed classification is developed in three parts: Three-dimensional Physical Functional space, n -dimensional Informational Functional space, and Functional space and Architecture of the Time. Detailed classification is developed in three parts: Three-dimensional Physical Functional space, n -dimensional Informational Functional space, and Functional space and Architecture of the Time. The central in the book are the chapters 'Architectural Perception in Science and Technology' & 'Complementary Architectonics of Women's & Men's Creative Works'. The second part of the book provides illustrated examples of architectural perception in the various fields based on the works conducted by the author over decades.
