New Technologies and Specificities of Synthesis of Art and Science Modes of Cognition in Architectural Activity 1(9) New Technologies and Specificities of Synthesis of Art and Science Modes of Cognition in Architectural Activity

The paper presents the principles of aesthetics being implemented in spheres, different from traditional artistic phenomena, for instance in the scientific activity. We have in mind so called phenomenon of ‘aesthetic understanding’. One research area that may be of special practical use concerning synthesis of art and science modes of cognition and implementing of ‘aesthetic understanding ’ has been emphasised. It is the informational environment serving for theoretical interpretation of architectural phenomena, also for orientation and fostering of process of architectural creation. This research area is related to the notion of technological theories being conceptualized in early phase of science development and incorporated in astrological models. Further development of technological theories was marked by XX–XXI century “constructive ” aids: knowledge bases, expert systems based on modern information technologies. In such kind of informational environment synthetic indicators are being used, based on synthesis of both left-and right brain hemisphere processing. This way allows avoiding dominance of discursive theoretic approach, typically proper to left brain hemisphere thinking mode, instead it is possible to orientate toward
