Architectural form shaping is being stimulated by extrenal conditions as well as by rules of harmonious composition, independent from them. To admit superiority of those rules is synonymous with acknowledgment of the form autonomy. Usually, it is the adherents of the abstract architecture who declare for this autonomy. According to them, the harmony of architecture is a projection of the cosmic geometry laws. The abstract architecture manifests the most universal symbols, so it is undoubtedly, despite the opponents' statements-a symbolic art. In contemporary architecture there exist not one, but three different versions, that are regarded to be the projections of the cosmic geometry. The first and oldest one traces its origins from the Pitagorian-Platonian tradition and the use of Palladian-Schinkelian arragements is characteristics of it. The second one combines elements of Western and Far Eastern traditions, and operates Malevichoan-Mondarian's compositions schemes. Both of them assume that there is an order in Cosmos. The newest, third version, however, rejects this foundation. Being inspired by contemporary mathematics of chaos, it prefers irregular and complicated arrangements. The works presenting this type of architecture demand comprehensive comments. For some it is a success, architecture's accession to an ambitious art, for others it is rather a symbolism and a crisis of the specific means of communication in architecture.
