Genesis of Architecture and Synthesis of Arts

Genesis of architecture as a consistent activity focused on the formations of habitat possesses several starting points. These are temple complexes Gobeklitepe in modern Turkey, Mgarr and Tarksien in Malta. There is much in common in the architectural concept of these ancient complexes, i.e. planning, form making, constructive techniques, though there is a 50-century gap that separates them. One of the main characteristic features is the use of synthesis of arts in these first architectural objects. In Gobeklitepe and Tarksien there is a combination of sculptural plastic art (from flat ornamental reliefs to three- dimensional images) and architecture. These complexes are pagan shrines, so it is possible to believe that synthesis of arts in them isused intentionally to create the architectural environment characterized by metaphysical, ideological and spiritual features.
