This article examines the structural features of pop cultural narratives in architecture and visual arts, analyzing their aesthetic potential and cultural risks. These narratives are characterized by. the rejection of tradition alongside aesthetic exaggeration of the everyday world; the tension between arbitrary execution and aesthetic order; and the transformation from optical to haptic space. The analysis reveals how these features create a hybrid unity between abstraction and emotional expression, while raising questions about historical interpretation and media culture.
