The article shows an attempt to ideate the architecture in anthropological way, i.e. as expression of individual feeling in compass of a dwelling, buildings, within the artificial environment – floors, ladders, columns, roofs, spikes, etc. One part of article concerns anthropology in architecture, and other part – sociocultural processes reflected in architecture. From this point of view it is offered to mark out and realize three stages in development of architecture as anthropological phenomenon: Improvised being (skill of an ant hill), actual being (a form for an eye), being-in-presence (buildings blend into the natural landscape, repeating it in forms and lines, in a material, color, etc.).

Keywords: anthropology and sociology of architecture, human being in an artificial environment, form and typology of human settlement, modern architectural designs.
