Projects of the architect Lavrenty Ivanov in the Chita Archive

Abstract

The article reflects the interim results of a study carried out within the scientific project “Architects and Engineers of the Eastern Outskirts of Russia (second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries)”. Unknown pages of the creative biography of the first professional architect of Transbaikalia, Lavrenty Ivanovich Ivanov, are considered. Brief historical information about the period of his studies at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, as well as the main stages of the master's work as an architect of the Nerchinsk factories are given. The features of the industrial architecture of the region in the first half of the 19th century are revealed through L. I. Ivanov’s projects.
