viracocha Posted January 28, 2014 Old Kamensk’s Ironwork Headquarters Styazhkin museum (3) by vir-a-cocha, on Flickr Facts: Architect................ Malakhov M.P. Purpose................ earlier Kamensk’s Ironwork Headquarters nowadays Styazhkin museum Location................ Kamensk-Uralskiy, Russia Style..................... classicism Years................... 1825-1830 History Kamensk is a town in Russia with a population of about 170 thousand people. Its official history begins in 1701, when there was a decree of Peter the Great on the construction of ironworks on the banks of the rivers Kamenka and Iset. October 15, 1701 was issued the first iron. The plant began to supply guns and mortars which for 200 years have participated in the wars with Sweden, Turkey , in the Patriotic War of 1812 and others. From 1825 to 1829 the town's appearance changed drastically . By architect M. Malakhov was reconstructed Kamensk's plant. Two new blast furnaces, the administration building, warehouse and hospital were built. Also it was rebuilt the main temple of the town. On photographs of early 20th -century the administration building of the plant on the background there is a Monastery. Architect Mikhail Pavlovich Malakhov (1781-1842) was born in the province of Chernigov (Ukraine). After graduating from the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, was promoted to the architect of the 14th class. Since February 1815 enlisted architect in the state of the Ekaterinburg mountain plants. Malakhov made a significant contribution to the implementation of the general plan of Ekaterinburg. Under his leadership in Yekaterinburg were built the most valuable monuments in the classical style. All his buildings marked by high professional skill, elegance of proportions, clarity of composite solutions, original handwriting, peculiar only to this architect. Model I tried to arrange MOC in the style of a official Architecture series. The building is made in 1:250 scale. The main difficulty was the structure of round rotunda, which relies on short and quadrangular dome. At this scale, the number of colonies was sacrificed to save the recognizable shape of the building.

During the Soviet period the spaces between the columns were walled up with brick walls with windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted January 28, 2014 Very good representation of the original building. I really like your solution for the cupola, with the offset studs. The offset studs are also a good solution for the windows. No recommendations for improvement; you've really hit the mark here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lasse Posted February 3, 2014 Nice MOC. I especially like the windows But I think that the dome should be light bluish gray instead of white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
