Odessa is beautiful in its architectural diversity. The experiments of architects and eclecticism of styles do not cease to amaze, prompting to study the history of the creation of palaces, apartment buildings, religious buildings.               This time we are waiting for a story from the series “Designed in Odessa” about the most exotic architectural objects of our city.              Romanticism came to European architecture in parallel with classicism, contrasting official strictness with the exoticism of the East and the extravaganza of the Middle Ages. While pseudo-Gothic and other romantic architectural styles were honed in the art workshops of Germany and France, architects worked in South Palmyra, who later became the innovators of Odessa architectural romanticism: Boffo, Morandi, Gonsiorovsky.               Beginning in the 1830s. in Odessa, both separate interspersed of romanticism began to appear (for example, the Turkish room in the Vorontsov Palace), as well as independent bright buildings: Witt Palace, Shakh Palace, Belyaev’s apartment building, Kirkha, numerous hydropathic and synagogues built in the Oriental style, Grigoryev’s house, Anatra’s cottage .              With romanticism, the formation of eclecticism began, popular in the second half of the 19th century. Resurrection of the styles of the past architects began with Gothic, Romanesque style and weaving bright canvases of East Moorish stylizations into Odessa's strict classical architectural canvas.               During the 19th century, original works of romantic eclecticism appeared in the city, which to this day play a key role in the appearance of the streets and quarters of the city. sign up       forms.gle/bCULPi3nCVXqX49S7               Early payment       Early payment for one guest is 120 ₴.              It is drawn up by transferring to a Privatbank card, details are available after registration - forms.gle/bCULPi3nCVXqX49S7               Contribution on the day of the story       150 ₴, payable locally.              Pensioners - 100 ₴ per day of the story     Where       4City Lecture Hall       Cable, 27/1      to       The meeting will be interesting to citizens, tourists, guides, urbanists, designers, architects, photographers and everyone who is interested in the history of Odessa.              The team of the Odessa Architecture project studies history, explores metamorphoses, photographs ancient buildings       with all the details and shares observations on the stories.               Who is conducting the story       Dmitry Shamatazhi, co-founder of the historical project Architecture of Odessa, since 2008 studies the architecture of the city, talks about it on walks, stories and articles on archodessa.com              The story was composed by Alexander Levitsky and Dmitry Shamatazhi.              Valentine answers the questions by number:       +380 63 163 20 09
