Summary/Abstract: Architecture is studied as a system of signs – symbols which are significant for understanding the essence and specific features of politics. We investigate how the architectural forms and images influence the political outlook of the person in the process of perception. Architectural objects are analysed through the sense of semiotics (as signs with some symbolic subtext). Political reality is presented in its symbolic (embodied in architecture) expression.
