Abstract

The article deals with the topic of preserving the historical appearance of objects during the reconstruction and restoration of architectural masterpieces. The analysis of the historical experience of recreating samples of ancient Russian architecture with elements of sculptural white stone reliefs is carried out on the example of the group method of work of members of the Abramtsevo art circle, imitating the activities of the national art collective. Based on the analysis of historical experience in the framework of the Abramtsevo Art Circle and their own research, the authors have established the basic principles of reconstruction and restoration of architectural monuments. When conveying of white stone works as masterpieces of ancient Russian architecture, technological techniques must be based on the ideological basis of creating an emotional and artistic atmosphere of collective creativity of folk masters. During the reconstruction and restoration of white stone architecture, it is also necessary to reproduce the natural irregularities of the walls themselves as a stylistic and functional feature of the historical time, designed to give originality to ancient buildings, taking into account the specifics of the perception of the relief of the walls of the monument as a similarity to the terrain.

Highlights

IntroductionThe theme of preserving the historical appearance of reconstructed objects during the restoration of architectural masterpieces becomes especially relevant in connection with modern technologies designed to combine reliability and durability with the environmental and aesthetic qualities of natural materials used in the initial construction or decoration of historical objects
It is necessary to take into account the principle of harmonization of modern urban space, which includes both artificially formed human habitat and natural components as elements of landscape architecture
The whitewashed facades of the church still require renovation, as the whitewash is peeling off in places, and the same red "brick" picturesque spots appear on the white wall. This certain "dilapidation" does not prevent, but helps the perception of the Church of the Image of Edessa in Abramtsevo in Abramtsevo as an architectural monument made in the style of white stone architecture, which is combined with the original idea of self-taught architects – famous artists V.D

Summary

Introduction

The theme of preserving the historical appearance of reconstructed objects during the restoration of architectural masterpieces becomes especially relevant in connection with modern technologies designed to combine reliability and durability with the environmental and aesthetic qualities of natural materials used in the initial construction or decoration of historical objects. It is necessary to take into account the principle of harmonization of modern urban space, which includes both artificially formed human habitat and natural components as elements of landscape architecture. The secrets of the technology are considered by the authors on the example of studying the experience of the Abramtsevo Art Circle on recreating white stone architecture with elements of white stone carving in the construction and decoration of the Church of the Image of Edessa in the Abramtsevo estate. The experience of the Abramtsevo Art Circle [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16], which imitates the activities of a historically established folk art collective for the reconstruction, restoration and reconstruction of white stone architecture [17,18,19,20], deserves close scientific attention and creative rethinking
