Abstract

This work aimed to develop a schematic design of an orthodox church, based on complex prior design studies, with improved surrounding grounds. The church should meet orthodox canons and require-ments of modern architecture at the level of a general layout and a single object. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: an on-site survey using geoinformation systems of the future con-struction site at Lake Sugomak in Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk region; a study of regulatory documents; a comparative analysis of religious architecture in Russia and abroad to determine the canons of Ortho-dox architecture; selection of an optimal solution based on a multivariate design with environmental improvement and landscape gardening of the surrounding grounds. Local conditions were examined, the traffic management and climate characteristics of the territory were determined. Owing to the in-struments of modern architectural science, a unique design solution of a minimalist church was elabo-rated, following all urban and architectural requirements. With the erection of a temple complex, which blends seamlessly into the landscape, the designed territory will acquire a compositionally complete and contemporary appearance. The architectural solution presented can be used in designing Ortho-dox temples in other regions of Russia, as well as in near- and far-abroad countries.
