The Role of I. I. Yushkov House in the Genesis of Moscow Classicist Houses with a Corner Rotunda
I. I. Yushkov House is considered to be one of the finest Moscow buildings of the epoch of mature Classicism. Historians believe that it is the first example of an edifice with a corner rotunda, a type which became widespread later. The present work aims at recreating the initial project with regard to the design of the corner rotunda. By studying similar engineering constructions and historical documents, an attempt is made to reconstruct the original plan of I. I. Yushkov house. It differed from the existing one because the rotunda had a domed top, which strongly alters the perception, in terms of urban space, of this Classicist architectural ensemble.
By analyzing similar planning approaches in the case of residential Parisian houses of the Enlightenment, one can accurately define the influence on the Moscow Classicist architectural School.
