Architectural Forms, the Significance and Iconic

The article presents a selective analysis of the theses of the masters of architecture about the architecture of the late 19th-20th centuries with epigraphs and quotations from the text, which certifies the foundations and historically stable directions of development of methodically modern creative aspirations to the significance and signedness of architectural forms and creative techniques of architectural shaping. The interrelation of the significance and signedness of the architectural forms of capital construction objects and urban development structures is revealed by the methods of: architectural approximation of comparisons of simplified images of architectural forms, an approximate sketch study of a complex of high-rise buildings with a significant high-tech reincarnation of the traditional iconic architectural forms, classification of functional types of premises, formalization of indicators of the significance of objects and buildings.
