Authors	O. Zavolokina, Moscow Institute of Architecture (State academy), Moscow, Russia
Abstract	At the heart of process designing of the Czech architectural cubism is a new concept of mutual relations of space and the form of an analytical cubism in painting where the three-dimensional form under the influence of space is dismembered on two-dimensional geometrical planes. Masters of the Czech cubism created three-dimensional forms of architectural structures with two- dimensional crossed planes through: - geometry of the primary form and its transformation by the method of "collage"; - formations on the two-dimensional surface forms a three-dimensional volume composition of simple geometric elements and their combinations; - transformations of elements of historical styles with obligatory underlining of tectonics and symmetry. The analysis of construction of a facade, the plan and decor of products of the Czech architectural cubism has revealed that masters of a direction developed new methods designing on the basis of the general principles and receptions. Based on a comparison identified in the practice of various architects receptions and principles are formulated features of their author's concepts.
Keywords:	Czech architectural cubism, formation, the method of “collage”, the method of “superimposition”
