On the ruins of tradition

In this paper an attempt is made to bring the concept of “classical tradition” for the narrow scope of a warrant of style, understand the underlying common origins of traditional architecture and determine the cause of the obvious, in my opinion, the antagonism between classical and modernist architecture. Traditional architecture is based entirely on the idea of absolute dominance in the outlook of traditional societies. Here lie the origins of its morphogenesis, planning, and town planning principles. On the contrary, the atheistic momentum to its priority function of the material became the main source of modernist shaping and planning at all levels.
