The article analyzes the history of changes in the role of art and the meaning of the symbol in the formation of the sacred space of architecture, which is presented through the consideration of the symbolic understanding of material forms and objects in the traditional and modernist representation.
The historical development of the concept of symbol and its representation in art and architecture is presented. The development of the aesthetic category of "beauty" in historical development is represented.
Three theories of understanding the concepts of the symbol are considered: "traditional", "hegelian" and "cashier", which in the twentieth century had almost the same influence. The source of origin and interpretation of the content of the symbol in the sacred space is presented.
The role of a person (artist and recipient) is analyzed, which is to read the revealed symbols and write them in language, myths or art in a way accessible to human resources. The phenomenon of perception in certain visible figures of objects is an expression of a more general situation, an expression of a certain type of views or collective beliefs. Symbols pointing out not to the sacred reality, but to certain intellectual tendencies, social situations or expressions of culture are singled out.
Contradictions in the perception of sacred space and reading the symbolism of its content are considered. Religion, art, science, language are presented as forms of human thinking about reality with forms of epistemologically understandable symbol. The need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and messages that are transmitted through them in the formation of sacred space.
There is also an attempt to adapt the principles of modernism to the needs of the formation of sacred space based on the concept of "seven plans" by Rudolf Schwartz, in which after the suspension of historical knowledge seeks the essence of the phenomenon, understood as its constant feature.
