St. basils cathedral

1. INTRODUCTION :

Location: Moscow, Russia
Architect : Postnik Yakovlev
Founder: Ivan Barma
Completed: 1561


It than became a cathedral for people. later it functioned as a museum.
The cathedral has many restorations, renovation, and transformation.
The transformation of the cathedral makes it historically significant in the byzantine era.
5. The church complex consists of nine churches erected on the same foundation.
The design was inspired by traditional Russian timber architecture is a riot of gables, tent roofs, and twisting onion domes.
The cathedral is an extraordinary structure with eight claustrophobically small chapels huddled around an incredibly tall central nave. 
The whole thing was built from a new material—brick, which covers a timber frame.
8. Four of the chapels are raised up on platforms to symbolize their position between heaven and earth. 
Onion domes were based on the dome of the grand mosque in Kazan and these quickly became the fashion for all orthodox churches.
Colors were added a century or so after the cathedral's completion and are based on a colorful description of heaven found in the bible's book of revelation. 
9. Most of the interiors of the component churches of the cathedral were painted brick red, with white seams limned to resemble the mortar - a technique known as ”pod kirpich”.
The interior of the larger intercession tower (151 feet in height from the floor) has elaborate decoration and culminates with a barely visible image of mary and the christ child.
Interior ornaments were floral patterns and gold.
11. MATERIALS :

Whitestone uses for foundation & façade.
Redbrick use for interior minority, interior open walls, cylindrical drum.
Metal strips use for dome structure.
Colorful tin sheet use to make a decorated dome.
