| Title of the article | S.S. Aidarov’s creative contribution in the study of national regional traditions |
| Abstract. | Appeals to national regional traditions periodically arose in architecture of different regions of the world. There have been various manifestations and interpretations of national identity in the theory and practice of the XX century. Empirical search for usage of the traditions in architecture methods came along with the development of different scientific and theoretical foundations. Among foreign theories the concept of K. Tange is highlighted. He regarded the tradition as a catalyst for the creative process, but not as its result. In domestic science the works of Y.S. Yaralov and S.S. Aidarov represent the different direction in understanding of the national traditions. The difference in their concepts is that for one tradition is the mean and for the other – the purpose. S.S. Aidarov developed the component structure of the national regional traditions of Tatarstan, incorporating stylistic features of the heritage of various historical periods and cultural sources. He has made the significant investment into the development of the Tatarstan architectural heritage conservation theory and practice, development of Bulgar-Tatar traditions scientific bases, and their use in modern architecture. S.S. Aidarov was the recognized authority in the Russian scientific community, the founder of the Kazan Scientific restoration school and outstanding public figure. |
