Like everyone, interior styles have their characters and temperaments. So, if you are an energetic person, who lives in the rhythm of the post-industrial era, looking to the future, you'll like the dynamic and brutal style, known as high-tech. As the name implies, high-tech - a reflection of the century "high technology", the latter of Contents styles XX century. High-tech style belongs to the ultra-modern. He was born in the revolutionary 60's of last century, the designers of the time inspired by the architectural feats of Representatives for 20-30's., Especially the constructivists. Style originated from the design of industrial facilities, where all the elements of the situation are subject to a functional purpose, and at first was an architectural approach rather than a particular style.
​
In architecture, it is the abandonment of the traditional "clumsy" building materials (stone, wood, brick) in favor of unconventional synthetic materials (asbestos tile, fiberglass insulation, steel joists and plastic windows). Sometimes it is "mashinopodobnye" forms, clearly borrowing parts mass production. High-tech design adheres to the basic principles of architectural high-tech. Here, too, used elements produced by massive industry: wire mesh, plastic pipes, galvanized steel and anti-friction tires.
​
Elements of industrial aesthetics went into the living room, where he received further development: got a mixture of high technology and constructivism. In the interior, where most of the elements of the engineering equipment open decor become constructive components, fasteners, various joints and rivets, pipes, fittings, ducts, elevators, bridges, beams, trusses, cables. Such structural openness creates a complex structuring of space.
​
In the interior of the high-energy complex industrial and urban motives are not only deprived of their shortcomings, on the contrary - they are strikingly unusual "space" beauty. Hi-fuel and energy sector, as no other style inherent demonstrative "supertehnitsizm." Abundance of shiny metal and glass interiors of this style reminiscent of frames from a science fiction movie. Communications (ducts, ventilation shafts, pipes) and supporting structures are decorative elements: here they are not hidden, and vice versa - is proud protrude and sometimes imitated. All these are not just involved in the creation of the interior - they are its foundation. But do not forget that in the high-teke always an element of exaggeration, and even irony.
​
You are surrounded by chrome pipes, rods, jumpers, bolts and screws, and the top hanging acrylic ceilings. Furniture Hi-TEK is both functional and extravagant. The decor is minimalist and very restrained. Space as functional. The lines in the high-tech rapid and direct. The almost complete lack of decor is offset by "job invoice": the play of light on glass, gloss chrome and polished metal surfaces, pattern of natural wood or rough masonry. One of the most common methods of decorating surfaces - punching. Punch - this series of round or square holes, slits. The technique is used for ventilation arrangements concluded in the case, for the penetration of sound, gas or liquid. The design of a high-tech - just for the sake of beauty, style and accent. The same considerations of the decorative use here and rhythmic series of relief "pimples", what is usually coated flat metal surface to avoid slipping. Such a style of high-energy complex certainly require sophisticated equipment in the interior and equipment.
​
Fans of traditional styles such solutions can cause repudiation. It seems that the cold, excessive technicism and craft paraphernalia contraindicated residential space. But it is not all that bad, for many interiors in high-tech are its undeniable advantages. It is a harmonious blend of space and light, the shape of objects and colors, plus the ideal proportions, the most functional use of space and restrained decor. And the result is a classical harmony and integrity. Because of the use of new technologies, materials, equipment, apartments in high-tech style is often compared with the spacecraft. The style may be associated with the theme of looking to the future, and the "techno" and "industrial" motives. Although basically it's pretty cold and austere, sometimes rough, there are a number of elegant and even romantic interiors inspired by the aesthetic ideals of high-tech. Imagine hi-tech cabin hard. Style, usually finds its admirers among residents of large cities, because it is quite urbanistichen. He is close to modern man, is for lovers live an active life, partying and just stylish people.
High-tech. Since the end. 1970.
High-Tech architecture originated as an attempt to revive the language of modernism, drawing inspiration from the technology to create a new architectural expression. The theoretical work of the architectural group Arkigrem drew considerable inspiration from the High-Tech movement. High-tech architecture is mainly related to non-domestic buildings, possibly due to the nature of technological imagery.
High-tech.
