Stylistic and Proportional Architectural Analysis of the Reconstructed Object on the Example of the Church of the Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God in Belgorod

Abstract

An important component of pre-project research in the reconstruction of temples is the solution of problems of spatial analysis of the shape of an architectural object and the logic of its construction (proportional, metrorhythmic, stylistic character). This article is devoted to the issues of spatial stylistic and proportional architectural analysis of the reconstructed chapel Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God God in Belgorod. The article considers the peculiarities of the style of the temple, based on the characteristic stylistic trends in the Russian Orthodox church building of the late twentieth – early twenty-first centuries, which predetermined the direction of the volumetric-plastic and constructive solution of the project proposal for reconstruction. An attempt is made to read the proportions and dimensions of the temple before and after reconstruction based on the method of proportional analysis with the identification of proportional dependencies using the golden section, the triangulation method, the Fibonacci series, reconstructed diagonals and perpendiculars, dynamic rectangles of J. Hambidge with an aspect ratio of 1: √2 and 1: √3. The stylistic and proportional architectural analysis of the temple serves as the basis for architectural and structural shaping in the process of reconstruction, determining the characteristic lines and points of newly erected forms, as well as justifying the choice of constructive solutions using reinforced concrete columns, arches, arches and arched lintels. The predominance of the innovative component in the architecture of the temple is taking into account
