Abstract

The article considers the distinctive architectural features of the complexes of the Ural factories at the beginning of the 19th century in the context of the spread of Classicist architecture in Russia. It highlights the main reasons for the mass restructuring of factories in the region at the beginning of the 19th century – the dilapidation depletion of wooden structures, the fire hazard of factory buildings and the depletion of wood resources for new buildings. The connection between the Ural factory architectural tradition and the tradition of Moscow and St. Petersburg is indicated. On the example of the Kamensk and Votkinsk factories, the author marks distinctive regional features of the application of the style to factory buildings and analyzes their similar features by using the example of those typical buildings, summarizing it all in general trends such as avarice in the use of decorative techniques, ensemble character, and a utilitarian combination of all buildings, taking into account the established regional industrial traditions in order to optimize production.
