ARCHITECTURE OF ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDINGS OF THE CITY OF CHISINAU WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF WORLD ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

This article reveals the influence of the conceptual directions of development within world architecture on the active creative processes of modernist and postmodern orientations, which have taken place in Moldovan architecture. Particular attention is paid to the architecture of administrative buildings built in the period after the declaration of the sovereignty and independence of Moldova in the early 1990s. The general problem of the dissonance of the architecture of modern business and office centers with the historical buildings of the Chisinau city is revealed. This problem was reflected in the image of the capital in the form of an antagonistic contradiction between the usual "old" and unexpected "new" architecture. As a result of the analysis, it is shown that the architecture of modern administrative buildings in Chisinau demonstrates examples of revolutionary solution of compositional and artistic tasks and reflects the polystylism of the development of world architecture in such directions as: minimalism, high-tech, deconstructivism, etc.
