Classicism as the Basis for Formation of Krasnoyarsk Architecture of the 1800-1850s

Abstract

The article tells how Classicism played the leading role in formation of Krasnoyarsk architecture of the 1800-1850s. The stylistic standards of Classicism were mostly demonstrated in stone and wooden houses built according to the model projects in downtown neighborhoods. The author concludes that the civil architecture of Krasnoyarsk developed until the 1850s within the frameworks of the Classicism stylistic system, while new tendencies occurred very rarely.
