Decorative Elements in Brick Style Architecture in N.A. Panin’s Building

Abstract

The aim of this work is to identify the architectural and artistic features of A.N. Panin‟s building and carry out a detailed analysis of plastic facades, which represent a synthesis of gothic and pseudo-Russian styles. The building locates in the historic part of Rostov-on-Don, at the intersection of the oldest streets of the city – Beregovvya and Pochtovyi (now Ostrovskii) streets in Rostov-on-Don. The study identifies the features of plastic facade design using composite techniques and brick decoration, characteristic of eclecticism, which combines different styles in the plastic design of facades. The object has not been studied enough at the moment, although it is one of the cultural heritage objects designed by N. M. Sokolov, whose objects form the historical part of Rostov-on-Don.
