The digging stick, floppy disk, hoe and other unfamiliar tools for young people are long gone, as we all live in the era of high technology. More precisely, we live in the age of hi-tech. The word "hi-tech" comes from the English "high technology," which in Russian translates as "advanced technology." Typically, this style is used in architecture and design, originating in the late modernism of the 1970s and finding wide application in the 1980s. The main theorists and practitioners of hi-tech (mostly practitioners, mainly British). One of the first and successful, in turn, important implementations of hi-tech construction is considered to be the Pompidou Center in Paris, built in 1977 by the famous architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano. Initially, the project was met with animosity, and few approved of such a bold and innovative approach, but by the 1990s, disputes had subsided, and the Center had become one of Paris's recognized landmarks (like the once-famous Eiffel Tower). Real hi-tech buildings and structures in England appeared much later. The first London hi-tech projects were built only in the period between the 1980s and 1990s (the construction of the Lloyd's building, for example, dates back to 1986). To some extent, the slow implementation of modern hi-tech projects in England was associated with the policy of Prince Charles, who was then actively involved in the architectural competition for the reconstruction of the famous Paternoster Square in the 1980s. Participating in architectural debates, the prince supported the new classicists and was categorically against hi-tech architects, calling their buildings "ugly" and, in turn, deforming the face of London. C. Jencks calls for "kings to leave architecture to architects," and even suggests that a new wave of monarchism with the prince's dictatorship in architecture begins. Hi-tech has already expressed prestige since the 1980s of our time (all hi-tech buildings were and still are very expensive), C. Jencks calls them "bank cathedrals," and it can even be said that modern hi-tech forms the image and status of many of the largest commercial firms and companies. In London, architectural debates around hi-tech have subsided, and its most prominent representatives are recognized and respected (Norman Foster has been knighted). This style has also found its fans on the Internet. It is precisely by hiding behind the hi-tech style that constant trolling of everything that people consider unpleasant or excessive takes place. Numerous installations on this topic are created.
