ARCHITECTURAL FORMATION TRADITIONS IN THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE 18TH–EARLY 21ST CENTURIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF BUKHARA AND QASHQADARYO)

Abstract

The article outlines methods for revealing the systematic structure of architectural forms through artistic-expressive means. The study focuses on the cities of Bukhara and Qashqadaryo Province, significant points along the Great Silk Road. Special attention is given to column-beam and arcade-dome structures. Emphasis is placed on the ten principles of double arcades. An architectural analysis is provided for examples such as the Bolokhauz Mosque, the Fayzobod Mosque within the Ark, the Poy Ostona Mosque, and the Sitorai Mokhi Khossa Palace in Bukhara, as well as the Kunduzak Mosque, Langar Ota, and Ishqiy Mosques in Qashqadaryo Province. It is acknowledged that double arcades have been used in structures built over the last decade.
