Abstract
The oeuvre of the city architect of Nakhichevan-on-Don Nikolay Durbakh (Nikoghos Durbakhyan), who worked at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, is a vivid example of how graduates of the Saint-Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts contributed to the architectural and town-planning activity and improvement of provincial cities of the Russian Empire. He was a Nakhichevan-on-Don native, hence he had a refined feeling and clear understanding of the customers’ wishes and preferences, their architectural and artistic requirements to the city environment. Owing to his efforts, a holistic appearance of Nakhichevan-on-Don was formed: the buildings of City Market and City Theater, the Mariinsky City Hospital, several educational institutions, mansions for well-to-do citizens were built, as well as the central squares of the city redesigned, the municipal park in honor of Alexander the Second founded, a number of other projects accomplished. The article considers N. Durbakh’s contribution to the architecture of Nakhichevan-on-Don and analyzes the architect’s creative method.
