CATEGORIES FOR UNDERSTANDING INDIVIDUALITY IN ARCHITECTURE

Individualism in creativity is  one of  foundation.  Nevertheless that  understanding of creativity neediness  is   deficient today. The category combine, as theory and practice by  itself. For identifying individuality, we can use such  architectural categories as style, boundary, norm, scale, and fundamental philosophical category as character, identity, method, phenomenon.

Temporal context and  prevailing style  is  also worth  to consideration. No less important factor influencing  of economic  to it nowadays. Economic, more precisely the price  often acts as a determinant. Сonsidering the complexity of this concept, it is  nesecity to define boundaries of individuality. We can divide  the Individuality into deep and superficial. Deep individuality is always multiple and generated by many factors with complexity of their relationships. Superficial  individuality rather easy to understand, often  generated by artistic or compositional factors as  usual.
