FEATURES OF ARCHITECTURAL FORMS OF BUDDHIST TEMPLE COMPLEXES IN THE TERRITORY OF THE CHANG'AN-TIEN SHAN CORRIDOR OF THE GREAT SILK ROAD

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (80) December, 2022

Analysis of the monastic complexes of the Tang Dynasty located in the territory of the Chang'an-Tien-Shan corridor of the Great Silk Road allows us to see how the existing planning and artistic solutions of Chinese architecture are combined with the traditions of Buddhist architectural thought, and how architectural forms are transformed under the influence of natural, socio-cultural and political conditions. Monastic complexes in China and modern Kazakhstan were chosen as objects of study, which enabled the main features of the cult architecture of the Tang period to be identified.

THE STUDY OF THE MONUMENTS OF THE CHANG'AN-TIEN-SHAN CORRIDOR OF THE GREAT SILK ROAD IN THE CONTEXT OF ARCHITECTURAL REGIONALISM

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №3 (79) September, 2022

Studying the monuments of the Great Silk Road is an urgent issue of modern science for the countries participating in this centuries-old trade and cultural exchange. The Chang'an-Tien Shan corridor of this road presents a complex synthesis of different cultures, especially the Buddhist faith and its artistic expression in the art of architecture, in close conjunction with Chinese traditions, including the layout of public and religious spaces. Studies of Chinese scientists that have not been translated into Russian allow us to reconstruct the overall picture of the evolution of architectural forms in this region. The largest cultural centers of the dynasties of Ancient and medieval China are used as an example.
