Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (73) March, 2021

As part of the national architectural context, the authors address a specific phenomenon of Russian architecture – the Russian style and its features as can be seen in the mid19th-early 20th century architecture of provincial Voronezh. An attempt is made to identify the set of factors that influenced the consideration of these architectural projects as specimens of medieval Russian architecture and the emergence of the Russian style in the country with its regional specifics. A number of the most significant and striking stone and wooden buildings in Voronezh reveal techniques and forms borrowed from old Russian art of building and vernacular architecture.

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (69) March, 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of mutual influence, interrelation and conflict between the architectural avant-garde and the classical heritage. It is the first study ever that considers the material related to form development, compositional techniques and professional signatures in the 1930s architecture of Voronezh. An attempt is made to show the regional features of Constructivist architecture, Post-Constructivism and Soviet Neoclassicism in Voronezh as manifestations of the objective process of evolution of Russian architecture through comprehensive analysis of the architects’ creativity methods. The study recognizes a number Voronezh and Moscow architects who practiced the style of "pure" Constructivism (before 1932) and discusses the reasons why they changed the orientation of their creativity in the period from 1932 to 1941.
