Equimorphism and related images in architectural form-making

Modern architecture requires constant updating, new trends and new solutions, which, however, should not destroy the natural and architectural environment. Traditional forms neutralize the aggressiveness of the new shell and give the ability to naturally blend in with the environment. One option for modeling new objects is equimorphism. The perception of architecture through the lens of images directly and indirectly associated with the element of water was a natural fit for several thousands of years, when new settlements were founded near sources of fresh water and the breadwinner-sea, and, of course, the link with water directly or indirectly was reflected in the architecture and town - planning plans, religious buildings, individual elements of buildings and constructions, decorations. Modern shaping ancient traditions have gained new life, embodied in new technologies and materials. A study of the problem shaped the perception of architecture engaged such researchers as R. Arnheim, J.M. Verzhbitsky, M. Gaffron, C. Jenks, A.I. Dobritsina. The principles of the birth of the artistic image are affected in the writings of L.G. Lynn Corbusier, F.L. Wright. Russian historian, archaeologist, ethnographer A.F. Teploukhov, is considered the first researcher who studied the cult of waterfowl in ancient times in Russia, he studied the semantics of iconic casting, where quite often the Aqua-ornithological images. To the topic addressed: D.N. Anuchin, L.I. Ashikhmina, N.A. Volokitina, T.V. Istomina, K.S. Korolev, I.N. Smirnov, A.A. Spitsyn, in particular the thesis N.. Volokitina dedicated to Aqua-ornithological images of the Komi Republic. Aquariumforum in Russian culture, as a particular case of the animal style, in his research studied the academician B.A. Rybakov. In this article, we propose to identify use cases aquamarine, as the broader concept, directly related to the cult of water and indirectly through cults waterfowl and amphibians, marsh and lake plants, as well as technical facilities used in the water space in architectural form-making. Special studies in this context has still not been conducted. For this purpose the following tasks: to study the processes of determination of design system aquamarine images; trace the paths and patterns of development of the artistic image associated with the element of water; to identify the basic influence of architecture on individuals, and analyze specific examples. For millennia of human civilization in architectural morphogenesis were created by the various directions associated with the cult of water, primarily fresh. Arose, persisted and disappeared in some cases, the understanding of the significance of those plants, animals and birds whose lives are closely been associated with the cult of water. Sacred and symbolic was the Lotus, associated with solar and funerary cults, the underworld of Slavic cults birds and amphibians (the frog Princess). After analyzing current trends in the world of architecture, we notice that with the latest technology, architecture is more and more moving away from hard constructive primitive forms, becoming more free, plastic, abstract - we allocate equimorphism, quantapoint, aquatourism, akvatermservis, equalitarism, aquatechnology, in addition to sculpture and mythology are present and reverse types, such as anthropomorphism.
