Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (44) December, 2013

The article reviews classist forms and techniques in the 19th century wooden civil architecture of Irkutsk. The study is the first of its kind to systematize the decorative elements of wooden classicism (balusters, pilasters, pilaster strips, modillions, coronals, etc.) by characteristic feature (form, specifics of decorative design, location on the facade) and brings them into classification groups. The research procedure is based on comprehensive collection, examination and analysis of pre-revolutionary and modern-day sources: written and graphic archival materials and results of field surveys with photofixation and graphic analysis. The examination of the decorative design of the facades confirms a consistent influence of classicism traditions on wooden residential architecture of Irkutsk throughout the 19th century.
