Abstract
Economic dimension of engineering and construction in Russian orthodox temple architecture (reliable determination of church construction estimate cost and it’s optimization) is in the best interest of engineering companies, the Russian Orthodox Church, state authorities and potential investors as basis for assessment of investment, cost control, cost saving in temple complex construction. The article gives methodological aspects of cost estimate determination in temple architecture, synthesizes cost expenditures for temple construction, proposes and analyses cost-saving solutions.
Highlights
Reverential attitude to religion with orthodox temple architecture is the basis of Russian national and cultural identity
Over the last years orthodox temple construction is on the rise
Modern churches are built under orthodox canons with expensive materials and technologies, but as a rule the construction is being funded by limited offertory means. In this regard reliable determination of estimate cost as early as the planning stage is in great demand
Summary
Reverential attitude to religion with orthodox temple architecture is the basis of Russian national and cultural identity. In seventy-year Soviet-era there were negation of orthodox religion and suspension of native architectural tradition in temple construction. Modern churches are built under orthodox canons with expensive materials and technologies, but as a rule the construction is being funded by limited offertory means. In this regard reliable determination of estimate cost as early as the planning stage is in great demand. The determination and optimization of temple construction cost are attractive to the building owner (including the Russian Orthodox Church for budget determination), to the architects (for correcting project concept according it’s cost), to the state authorities (for project popularization and attracting investment in the region), to the potential investors (for cost control)
