Abstract

The order of the Saint Petersburg building facades has changed throughout the history of the city’s architecture. The order again acquired a dominant role in the compositional structure of the neoclassical building facades of the beginning of 20th century, but the order of this time is transformed in comparison with previous historical periods. Analysis of the use of the column order by architects V.A. Shchuko and M.S. Lyalevich makes it possible to identify main features of the order of the early 20th century: placement in the structure of the facade, proportions, detailing; discover the use of historical prototypes and the attitude of architects to classical theory. The study of all these features is necessary when researching, preserving and restoring numerous buildings in the neoclassical style of the early 20th century.
