Abstract

A comparative analysis of the evolution of Orthodox monasteries is given on the example of Serbia and Russia. This topic is relevant in the issue of the revival of the Orthodox culture. The formation of the architecture of monastery complexes in modern conditions allows to determine the principles of the functional and architectural-spatial organization of Orthodox monasteries with social and educational facilities. Currently, the functions of monasteries are expanding, their educational, social, pilgrimage and other activities are becoming increasingly popular. The monastery ensemble is an open and constantly evolving system, and the methodology for the study of monastery complexes is based on a systematic approach to studying the architecture of Orthodox churches and monasteries. To date, comprehensive studies of the Orthodox monastery architecture of Serbia and the entire Balkan region as a whole have not been conducted. However, the experience of monastic construction in Russia and the Balkans allows to explore many features of the architecture of Orthodox monasteries and develop recommendations for the restoration of temple architecture and the new construction of temple complexes and monasteries, taking into account their socio-educational and cultural activities. In the revival of the monasteries of Serbia, the experience of Russia can now be widely used. At the same time, the main task of the architect is to preserve the features of the Serbian temple architecture and its identity.
