Is four-dimensional architecture a metaphor or a reality?
Abstract
Is four-dimensional architecture a metaphor or a reality?
Incoming article date: 10.10.2025This article introduces a new method for creating architectural objects that can effectively withstand technological threats. The innovation of the design schemes is based on a unique conceptual duality: the system can be analyzed both in the traditional three-dimensional paradigm of force transmission and using a fundamentally new four-dimensional resource model of stress redistribution. How does this model enable active resource management and adaptation of the structure to changing conditions? This is the focus of this article.
