A SURVEY AND RESTORATION OF MERCHANT BYCHYONKOV’S ESTATE HOUSE IN BEREZHNOE VILLAGE, ZAOZERYE REGION

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №3 (71) September, 2020

The article describes historical and architectural studies of provincial wooden architecture heritage in Russia. The background information includes a brief retrospective review of the context, history of the village where the heritage is located, and the merchant’s family life and lifestyle in the once densely populated and wealthy northern region of Zaozerye. A detailed consideration is given to the spatial planning, compositional and stylistic features of the merchant’s main house. The remaining components discovered in the territory of the former estate are described, including a residential wing, household outbuilding, orchard, and park. Preliminary findings have enabled a restoration project to be developed for the wooden estate house, now intended for a new use as Merchant's Estate Museum. Once restored, the estate house will become a significant part of the infrastructure of not only Ust-Kubinsky District but also Vologda region as a whole.

HISTORICAL AND RESTORATION STUDIES OF THE WINTER CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY IN THE GEORGIEVSKY DIOCESE, VOLOGDA

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (50) June, 2015

The article provides a brief historical overview of the context in which the city of Vologda has been developing, including the construction or ordinary buildings and of unique projects of civil and cult architecture. This has resulted in the unique image of Vologda, an old Russian city. An outstanding example of stone cult architecture in Vologda is the winter church of the Epiphany in the Georgievsky diocese. Historical and restoration studies of this cathedral have been carried out. A cleared patch of the wall above the window revealed the original treatment of the window trim, which confirms the early dating of the cathedral. The comprehensive examinations suggest that this monument should be recommended to be registered by the heritage preservation agencies as a unique example of early parish churches built in stone and restored for the purpose of further conservation.
