The article highlights that the importance of using the interpretation method in the process of scientific research of objects of the architectural and urban environment in order to understand the meaning of the composition, reveal the essence of the author's intention and thus improve the level of communication between the architect and the user. The architectural environment that surrounds us every day is a work of art that requires a certain understanding, because under the influence of historical processes, some functions and significances gradually lose their relevance and sense, so they must change, because in the process of development, new ones appear – generated by modernity. When creating a composition, an architect sends a message to future generations about the present through three-dimensional forms that embody an image. The uniqueness or universality of the visual information received is an important link in the process of identifying a person in the space of a modern city. Understanding the content, the ability to interpret gives a modern person the opportunity to move away from the reality of fleeting time and join the eternal values embodied in architecture through images, archetypes, forms, etc. The architecture of a modern city is an integral organism that ‘creates’ the world of the city layer by layer, and each new element is based on the previous one and becomes the basis for the next. Therefore, the information provided by the architectural environment or its individual element is the sense of an architectural object as an artistic work, which is to interpret it as an aesthetic order, because it carries the paradigm of an ideal invariant ‘picture of the world’. The use of the interpretation method in research of the architectural environment allows penetrating into the deepest sense of architecture, because the art of architecture is to emulate an idea generated by the conditions or trends of a certain period.
