Abstract

The paper presents the relations between architecture as one of the elements of culture and various objects in the social sphere. Examples of contemporary existing phenomena and their connections with architecture considered as a reflection of social and technical realities are described. Presenting many selected problems the range of considerations has been shown, in which it is possible and obligatory to carry out cognitive processes referring to what determines architectural space. In the cognitive process the existence of doubts is a necessary condition. It is a necessary requirement for asking questions. And only when we ask questions we may obtain answers. These are necessary conditions of every development. The polemical character of this paper, according to the authors, fulfills this demand.
