The author analyzes the process of architecture morphogenesis and shows it as the architect's tool for transforming the design program into a model of an architectural form. Special attention is paid to the creative process of the architect operating complicated interaction of contradictory factors, namely, autonomous (internal) factors effecting the form «from within», and external factors influencing the form «from the outside». Synthesis of contradictory factors is a complex interaction, which possesses the character of art.
