NON-TYPICAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES OF THE XVIII-XIX CENTURIES: TRADITION AND INNOVATION
The article considers atypical architectural compositions of an Orthodox Church as an example of innovation, which does not become a tradition and is not reproduced in new churches everywhere in the future. Historical objects of the appearance of such "atypical new" in the architectural composition of Orthodox stone churches of the XVIII - XIX centuries are given, for example, "temple-peripter" in the style of ancient Greek architecture," pyramid temples"," «round» and «triangular» temples, «Gothic» temples of the architect V. I. Bazhenov. It is shown why the studied examples of innovation do not correspond to the traditional composition of the temple. An explanation is offered for the fact that such new forms do not become part of the tradition of temple architecture.
