| Title of the article | The creative method of Kazan architects in the 1950s (based on the example of iconic public buildings in Kazan) |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The study of the creative method of prominent Kazan architects in the 1950s is necessary for understanding the regional features of the formation of Soviet architecture of this period and the creation of professional tools for their subsequent use in the modern architecture of Kazan. The aim of the study is to determine the design methodology of prominent Kazan architects in the 1950s using the example of iconic public buildings in Kazan. Research objectives: to identify public facilities built in the 1950s in Kazan which have the most expressive regional ornamental complexes in terms of their use and conduct their field survey; to study archival and bibliographic sources on the research topic; to analyze the design methodology of Kazan architects in the context of national and regional traditions in the specified period. Results. As a result of the conducted research, the following most expressive public facilities from the point of view of the use of regional ornamental complexes were identified and examined: the building of the Kazan Fair, the building of the Kazan State Medical University, the M. Jalil Opera and Ballet Theatre, the Sakhibgarey Said-Galiev cultural activities centre. Visual graphic tables containing fragments of facades and interiors of the facilities under study were compiled, and the design methodology of Kazan architects was analyzed. Conclusions. The creative method of prominent Kazan architects in the 1950s of the Soviet period was based on the synthesis of regional heritage and techniques of classical architectural and artistic style, as a result of which a unique ornamental decorative system was developed, which became the property of the architectural culture of Tatarstan. The historical ornamental complexes used in the Soviet period were predominantly of plant origin and were introduced into compositionally important parts of facades (capitals, niches, cornices, frames of openings). The method of facades design, as a rule, did not depend on the functional content of the facility. |
