Abstract

The article considers typological potential of the architectural form of buildings-arches. The main message of the article is approbation by this example of theoretical provisions of special typology. The analysis is performed from several points of view: town-planning — a building-arch is investigated as an element of a large public space; compositional — subtraction technique — an aperture is cut off in an integral volume to the entire or incomplete height; addition technique — independent tower volumes are connected between each other by a third volume, i.e. a bridge-passage; typological — buildings of office-business centres and supermarkets, station complexes, technoparks, dwelling houses and multifunctional constructions are studied; functional-layout — functional content of the architectural form constituents, organization of external and internal communications are analyzed; psychological and sign-symbolic — the form of an arch as a unity in confrontation, a symbol of success and an invitation for co-operation; buildings-arches are classified depending on their typological potential as follows: gate, window, frame-portal; passage; filled arches, transitional type.
