Abstract:
The evolution of the architecture of Chisinau from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century was conditioned by different historical, political, economic factors, etc., which imposed a certain stylistic typology of eclectic nature. The conceptual-decorative aesthetics of the buildings generally reflect the synthesis of two basic styles, interpreted in a rich variation of plastic forms - neoclassicism and the Modern‖ style. During that period, several architects with training in the field and extensive knowledge in "historical" architecture were active. One of the architects who left his mark on the image of Chisinau is Alexandru Bernardazzi. Among the buildings made in a "classical" language can be named: Rascanu-Derojinschi Palace, etc. The modern‖ stylistic peculiarities are visible in: the City Duma Building, etc., which are characterized by a pronounced eclectic aspect.
