EVOLUTION OF FORM IN AVANTGARDE CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESSES

Abstract

The subject of this paper is an analysis of the impact of public participation on the form of contemporary architecture. A division into three basic stylistic-temporal trajectories was made, distinguished based on design methodology that includes participation: late Modernism, Postmodernism, and participative architecture of the early twenty-first century. Based on an analysis of theoretical texts and selected structures, distinctive features of a given period were identified. The study resulted in an identification of major tendencies that document changes in architectural forms stemming from a diverse range of design methodologies that feature participation.
