The development of Sergiev Posad considered in this project is typical for the provincial cities of Central Russia of the post-reform period. Most of the once widespread type of middle-class wooden and semi-stone buildings in the style of late classicism on the central streets of the city was lost in the 1960s-1980s during the reconstruction of certain sections of Red Army Avenue, as well as during unauthorized demolitions of historical buildings in the 1990s-2000s.

When determining the types, a large number of buildings were identified that were built in the early Soviet (1920s) period. They can be attributed to the type of one-story wooden houses (Type 3). The most preserved of them today can be observed in the area of historical
settlements of Pushkarskaya, Streletskaya and the village of Panino. Separate houses can be found in other historical settlements. These buildings have characteristic differences in volumetric composition and decor from the buildings of the turn of the century and earlier.

The work on identifying the typology of buildings has been done in order to further introduce information into the volumetric and spatial regulations for Sergiev Posad, developed by KB Strelka.

To apply the building typology in new construction, it is necessary to designate the zones in which one or another type can be used, based on the zoning of 1927, archival data on buildings, and also partly on the existing situation.

In no case should specific buildings or their fragments be replicated as typical. The greatest variability within the style is needed so that the new building is perceived not as a falsification, but as an allusion to a certain style or historical period, corresponding to the original environment in terms of scale, color scheme, and the nature of the elements.
