Abstract

The article considers theoretical views on the problem of using the order language in postmodern architecture and suggests a methodology to study it. The research matter is divided into two categories: 1 - theoretical works of
post-modern architects themselves and their system interpretation in C. Jencks’s works, 2 - criticism of the use of the order system in postmodernism, both by practicing architects and theoreticians. It is shown that the actualization of the classical order tradition in the architecture of postmodernism of the second half of the XX century was not programmed, namely, it was not postulated as a general concept or a manifesto for the entire professional sphere. The appeal to the historical heritage was carried out by particular architects within the framework of their individual design practices. It is
emphasized that the designers’s attempts of theoretical comprehension of these appeals, though not systematical, are built on some major terms from the field of structural linguistics and semiotics, and practical experiments are based on rather free interpretation of the order system. The subject of the research is the order language of postmodernism architecture of the second part of ХХ- the beginning of ХХI centuries. It is regarded as a sign system, which includes aspects of semantics, morphology and syntax and evolvs in time. The proposal to apply the method of historical genetic research allowing to study the order language in two basic states: structural (synchrony) and evolutionary (diachrony), is substantiated. This method of research enables to build a systematic idea of the order language and compare its defining characteristics at different stages of the evolution of architecture. It is also proposed to apply semiotic and compositional analysis to identify changes in the semantics of order compositions, methods and techniques for interpreting the order in the works of American and European architects.
