Архитектура домов 1720–1740-х годов на набережных каналов Адмиралтейской части: к вопросу о градостроительных принципах Петербурга.
The Architecture of houses along the Admiralty Side canals in 1720–1740-s: on the question of Petersburg urban planning principles

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the principles of residential development along the canals of St. Petersburg center (for example, the Red and the Old Palace canals), formed in the Petrine time and being in progress during the reign of Anna Ivanovna. The appearance of the embankments is documented in detail in fixation drawings of the houses facades from the Stockholm collection. The analysis allows to conclude that the nature of the building along the canals coincided with the one used from the time of Peter I, for the decoration of the Neva embankments, and differs from that used in the construction along the Fontanka river.
