| Title of the article | Dubovskii in honorof the Ascension Nunnery-architectural monument of the late XIX-early XX century (research and reconstruction) |
| Abstract. | This study represents a scientific reconstruction of an architectural monument of the late 19th-early 20th centuries, namely The Dubovskii Ascension Nunnery in Volgograd region. In 1991 after the restitution of the Nunnery to the Church there started a construction of some additional buildings necessary for a conventual life. A number of the existing objects were also restored. All that work was carried out without ample scientific grounds. That is why it became necessary to develop a project of the nunnery graphic reconstruction. The reconstruction suggests returning the initial look of the ensemble to the beginning of the 20yh century (the composition pattern of planning structure, the building up and reconstruction of the lost units). The discovered archival papers and investigation on location made it possible to implement the complex reconstruction of the ensemble. The reconstruction project was developed considering the values of the whole object. Guided by the archival designs made by architect A.M. Salko during the period from 1894 to 1896 the cupola of the Tikhvin Church is being reconstructed now; the restoration of the Resurrection Cathedral in its original place is also being carried out. The renewal of the survived tower and walls has been offered, too. The restoration of the exact location of the nunnery buildings and premises has been carried out considering characteristic features of the functional and canonical requirements of a conventual economy. |
