Abstract

Today's world of architecture and art is more frequently separated from transcendence. The pressure of the pragmatism of a sign brutally annuls imagination. The language of symbols seems to be dying out. The victory of semiology, analytical rationalism and the reign of information communication are all the effects of the triumph of a sign over a symbol. The art of architecture, especially its sacral variety, ought to remain symbolic if it wants to be permanent and eternal. So, if it is expected to be the authentic source of man's metaphysical experience, not a mere speculation of his mind or a naturalistic representation of things, if it is supposed to be vital and everlasting, it should find a way of regaining consonance with the old symbols. In draft was tried to appear rule of symbolism of sacred architecture and art and her possibilities as special kind of theology of artistic word in providing her with everlasting living in architecture.
