| Abstract. | Problem statement. The main problem in studying the formation of architectural education in Kazan is the insufficient amount of information about its origins and the persons who participated in its development. One of them is the architect Jacob-Heinrich Bernardovich Rusch, about whose teaching contribution practically nothing is known. The purpose of the work is to study and identify the contribution of the architect J.B. Rusch to the formation of architectural education in Kazan. The objectives of the research are the analysis of the newly discovered materials related to the architect’s teaching activities from 1880 to 1900 in Kazan, identifying the connection between the architectural practice of Heinrich Rusch and the training of young specialists, systematizing and generalizing the collected information confirming the importance of the architect in the development of architectural education in Kazan. Results. The article presents the results of work on the newly identified archival data, publications by J.B. Rusch and historical facts. Publications authored by Heinrich Rusch have been discovered. The article describes the architect’s activities as a teacher of technical drawing, a member of the Society for the Education and Supervision of Students in Craft Workshops and Kazan branch of the Imperial Russian Technical Society. Conclusions. As a result of the analysis of the materials, the architect’s contribution to the development of architectural education in Kazan was determined, and new areas of professional activity of J.B. Rusch were identified, such as teaching, compiling and publishing textbooks, and the establishment and management of a technical drawing school. |
