Manifesto of Dialectical Architecture

14. The verbal — associative method initiates the awakening of an active form-building fantasy. The primary images generated by it, structured by the architectural — dialectical method, become a source of generation of fundamentally new compositional three-dimensional solutions.

15. The architectural form is a structural and plastic integrity manifested in a specific figurative image of the external volume and internal space.

16. The priority direction of architecture development is not technology and technological progress, but sociology and human well-being. The impact of architecture on society as a whole and on an individual, on behavior and mood, on spirit and will — and vice versa, the anthropo — social impact on architecture are priority directions for theoretical and practical search.

17. The purpose of dialectical architecture is to preserve, multiply and create a new beauty that is born at the junctions of constructive form-building oppositions and in accordance with the standards of the golden measure of the classics.

18. Dialectical architectural composition is not based on the denial or praise of the old or the new, but on the desire for synthetic knowledge, for maximum coverage of all form-building possibilities and their structuring.

19. The internal synthesis of the principles of classical and modern architecture will create a new architecture — both hereditary and innovative.

20. Architecture should not become a slave to technology, programming and "artificial intelligence". Architecture is created by the spirit — in the unity of mind, heart and experience.

21. Our soul, our heart with a sense of beauty and imagination available to us — this is the environment within which the creative event of transcription of semantic and kinetic energy into the actual infinity of form takes place.

22. In the architectural form-building search, individual self-expression is called to achieve a degree of social significance, a union of the architect's subjective creative energy and an objective social request. Architecture at all times becomes a synthesis of diverse human efforts and a harbinger of new beauty.

23. Architecture is the arena of human activity and communication. Its task is to promote peace between people and the harmonization of the human spirit.
