| Title of the article | Architectural-stylistic analysis and exterior morphology of functioning madrasah buildings in Russia |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The architecture of functioning madrasahs in Russia represents a unique stratum formed under the complex conditions of reviving a historically interrupted building tradition. The resulting stylistic diversity, which reflects an active search for a new confessional identity, has not yet received proper scholarly systematization. This fact determines the relevance of this comprehensive study. The aim of the research is to conduct a comprehensive architectural-stylistic analysis and a study of the exterior morphology of functioning madrasah buildings in Russia to identify their typological features and key development vectors. The research objectives are: to develop a classification of architectural types of functioning madrasahs in Russia based on the analysis of their genesis – from the preservation of historical heritage and the adaptation of secular buildings to new construction; to identify and characterize the main stylistic trends in madrasah architecture, establishing their connection with the change of socio-political paradigms in Russia; to analyze the morphological features of the buildings (number of storeys, total area) to identify and describe various regional models of the Islamic education system organization; to outline prospects for further research in this area, including a more in-depth study of regional architectural schools and the creation of a basis for developing evidence-based design recommendations. Result. The main result of this study is the authors’ proposed classification, which identifies four architectural types of functioning madrasahs based on their genesis: historical-architectural heritage, adapted functionalism, post-soviet retrospectivism, and the modern hybrid type. Conclusions. The significance of the obtained results for architecture lies in the creation of an evidence-based foundation for the analysis, preservation, and reconstruction of Islamic educational architectural objects. The findings open up prospects for further research aimed at developing practical recommendations for the design of modern madrasahs in Russia. |
