New Approaches to Formation of Architectural Space: Innovative Concepts

The article is devoted to an actual problem of identifying features of formation of atypical spaces in the context of architectural heterotopy. The purpose of the article is to present the emerging architecture of the development of spatial concepts, identifying their typological signs of emergence and existence in modern conditions. A leading approach to the study of the problem based on the application for the first time proposed by Michel Foucault's notion of “heterotopy”, which outlines a new perspective and offers a new concept for the analysis of space. It is noted that in shaping modernity, heterotopy moved into the category of tools available for use in research practices. In accordance with the concepts of architectural heterotopy formulated nine topical areas of research. Materials of article and descriptions of atypical spaces in architecture can be useful for the theory and practice of shaping space habitats, so as to open up completely new possibilities in architectural activities.
