Abstract

The article examines the influence of the high-tech style on the development of future architecture using the example of projects by famous architects working in this style. Currently, high-tech continues to play a significant role in world architecture in design and construction, using the latest materials and technologies. By applying the method of comparative analysis, it is possible to identify the features of high-tech architecture. It is determined that high-tech forms have ceased to be used as purely symbolic, decorative additions to form-making and have become utilitarian-functional and technical elements (ventilation shafts, chimneys, volumes of stairs, elevators, solar panels, wind generators, metal frame in the form of pipe supports, special avant-garde design of lamps), which in the external appearance dominates the use of high-tech solutions. High-tech is becoming a vector for the architecture of the future into a new reality, seriously expanding its boundaries.
