Decentralized composition of russian natural gardens
Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (84) December, 2023
Our intention in writing this work was to identify methods that were used in Russian landscaped garden design on the example of St. Petersburg estates and the Bogoroditsky palace and park ensemble created by A.T. Bolotov, and to reveal differences between Russian and English landscaped parks. The study suggests that the Russian park was very different from the English one. Whereas the English park would be created as a visual sequence (a system of park pictures) in which different panoramas were constructed from different perspectives, Russian park designers sought to create the space of the park as a pathway between individual scenes. English parks were living pictures, and Russian natural gardens were 3D spaces. As a conclusion, Russian parks had a decentralized composition and were structured as a system of scenes (glades with architectural or natural objects) and «dark alleys» (transit spaces) connecting them, and the immersive environment of the Russian garden implied the depth of the space.

ALLEGORIC SYMBOLS OF VEGETATIVE MOTIFS IN THE ORDER COMPOSITIONS OF SAINT-PETERSBURG ARCHITECTURE
Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (34) June, 2011
In the architecture of St. Petersburg/Leningrad, order compositions are full of floral motifs - ideograms conveying meaning through diverse conceptual metaphorical or metonymic associations.
The botanical diversity of plants, the clarity and visibility of their outlines ensures freedom of stylization, whilst the redundancy of intricate visual forms is constrained by the logic of the orders and the rigor of architectural details - modénatures, capitals, fusts.
The idiographic aspect of order architecture allows us to understand how the attributes, allegories, symbols, floral ornament and related allusions reflect the common cultural space of St. Petersburg - socio-historical, political, scientific, educational, military, confessional, personal.
