Order and Medieval Motives in the Architecture of Kitai-Gorod in the 1870s — 1880s
In the 1870s — 1880s the turn towards some specific stylistic traits in architecture was connected with national-patriotic motives and with the intention to stress the typological or confessional functions of the construction. In the development of the Kitai-Gorod area, apart from these ideas, one may note a desire to preserve, to some extent, the stylistic integrity of substantial fragments of the existing quarters.
Keywords
Kitai-Gorod, site development, 1870s — 1880s, order, Middle Ages, semantics, common features of style.
