Отрывок из книги
Dear readers, the translation of this book was performed by a friend of our family, Anna Kanunnikova. I am deeply grateful to her for the work.
The author hopes that the proposed direction will contribute to new architectural searches and discoveries.

A building, as internal to itself and as external to itself, is, respectively, an interior and an exterior. The interior is the building in its internal expression, the interior of the building. The existence of the interior distinguishes an architectural form from sculptural and other forms. A sculptural form is a purely exterior form, it is external to itself. The interior contains the specifics of architecture as a container. The interior is the building's inward orientation, into itself as an integrity distinct from the environment. The exterior is, on the contrary, the building's exit outside, into the external world, its manifestation to the space of the surrounding world.
This only captures the antithesis of the interior and exterior as the opposition of the building to itself. Dialectics then examines categories from the point of view of their otherness, and establishes the transition of opposites into each other. Otherness to the building is a human subject. The interior is a form encompassing this subject. Consequently, the subject turns out to be an internal content in relation to the interior, and the interior in its relation to the subject is an external thing. The exterior category also undergoes a similar transition to its opposite when correlated with the otherness. The exterior in relation to the subject presupposes the possibility that the perception of the subject embraces it, if not simultaneously, then sequentially, with the in a circular, ambient motion. This means that the exterior is the inner content in the encompassing perception of the subject.
