In this article the existing principles of application of the illusion technique in architecture are considered. The classification of objects by purpose is presented, the key features of classification groups are highlighted. Examples of already existing constructed buildings with different typology are given and analyzed. The target direction of the article is based on the creation of the concept of volume (building) with the use of optical illusions to form a complex solution to clarify the overall concept of the object and achieve the effect of paradox in the viewer. The article also describes in detail the art-architectural and constructive solutions of the proposed concept with the definition of the exact location of the building in relation to the view and approach to it.

Keywords: Illusion, architectural volume, complex solution, paradox, dematerialization, visual perception, structural element, mirrored surface, hovering effect, tilt angle, master plan organization

This paper deals with the aspects of the ideological content of the architectural and engineering thought of the Shadow Tower Pavilion in Chandigarh, a structure without a definite function. A brief historical background is collected. Examples of similar constructions "without function" are given, principles and purposes of formation of architectural volumes of selected analogs are described. The influence of such structures from the point of view of ideology on the formation of architecture in a hot climate is considered. The significance of small architectural volumes in the context of large ensembles is emphasized.

This article discusses the practical development of an adaptive scheme for converting an internal environment into an external one using the example of an architectural unit (model) of glamping. A special classification of the types of adaptability applied to the model is formulated. The target direction of the consideration is based on the definition of an adaptive architecture object, the transformation of which will be able to provide flexibility and mobility of the environment depending on human needs, as well as on the identification of architectural, planning and constructive solutions of the object to ensure a strong relationship between the optimally functional filling scheme and the configuration of the adjacent territory. In order to achieve maximum results in this direction, the principles of efficiency and simplicity of the architectural structure are highlighted. redistribution of investments in interests of the organization and development of new production on available floor spaces. The most important organizational economic targets of a diversification of management are presented by innovative activity of the industrial enterprise.

This article discusses the fundamental possibility of constructing an architectural form using a single parameter. The principle of such shaping of a structural element of a building’s structural scheme is formulated and analyzed. Particular attention is paid to assessing the rationality and feasibility of using the form as public or residential architecture. Emphasis is placed on the presence of sufficient areas for human habitation in the internal space, despite the initially ambiguous visual effect of the external appearance of the building. The main idea of the argument is based on the mathematical justification of harmony in nature and architecture.
