Exteriors and Interiors of Residential Houses at the Turn of the XIX–XX Centuries in Baku

The development of stylistic features of the local architecture in the XIX – early XX centuries, the emergence of new trends in the organization and design of exteriors and interiors of the period considered are traced. The emergence and spread of capitalistic production relations had a significant impact on the subsequent development of Azerbaijan architecture. New observed manifestations in the architecture of Azerbaijan especially clearly reflected in the development of Baku. Already at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries, during the period of rapid development of the oil industry, Baku became one of the largest cities of the Russian Empire. During this period, the architecture of Azerbaijan developed on the basis of the composition of buildings which occupied an important place in the architectural-planning structure of dwellings and the traditions of European architecture. The basis of compositional structure of buildings constructed by local architects and people craftsmen were traditional architectural roots. Pupils of the European school of architecture actively acted together with local architects.
