Worldview as a constructivist act
Description
The Russian geo-cultural identity is frequently observed by an interval between west and east. That was the main argument brought by Viollet-le Duc’s L’Art Russe published in 1877, when he searched for a definition of an original Russian art, as a unique composition of Syrian, Indian and Persian elements. His life-long medieval project, arguing for a symbiotic relation between form and structure, pushed him to criticise in the Russian architecture a conspicuous addition of the classical canon as a difficult collage with Oriental references.
