Archstory "Romanticism in the architecture of Odessa"

The eclecticism of styles and architectural experiments of architects never cease to amaze and delight the guests of the city from Odessa.  In the second story from the cycle "Mixed in Odessa" we will talk about classicism - the style from which the history of South Palmyra began. Classicism and its canons were incorporated into the original layout of Odessa with a strict network of quarters and streets intersecting at right angles. The city was founded in the heyday of Russian classicism, when the mannerism and pretentiousness of the baroque and rococo were replaced by the simplicity and severity of monumental forms. On the first buildings of the classical style in Odessa worked the brothers-Italians Frapolli and the outstanding Petersburg architect Toma de Tomon. Until the 1840s. the city was built by the classicists Boffo, Toricelli, Dallaqua, Kozlov and other architects, each of whom brought a number of unique details to the city's appearance.  The era of classicism was one of the key ones in the history of Odessa architecture and urban planning. At this time, such masterpieces of style were created as the Primorsky Boulevard ensemble with a semicircular square and the Richelieu monument, the Primorskaya Stairs, the Vorontsov Palace and Palais Royal complexes, the old stock exchange, the first city theater and much more. These buildings have defined the look of Odessa.  Sign up https://secure.wayforpay.com/payment/romanticism20210119  Ticket for 1 story 149 ₴.  Tickets for a story course https://secure.wayforpay.com/payment/ArchTales1 Where This is an online event at Zoom  ToThe meeting will be of interest to citizens, tourists, tour guides, urbanists, designers, architects, photographers and anyone interested in the history of Odessa.  Who conducts the story Dmitry Shamatazhi, co-founder of the historical project Architecture of Odessa, has been studying the architecture of the city since 2008, talks about it on walks, stories and in articles on archodessa.com The story was composed by Alexander Levitsky and Dmitry Shamatazhi.
