Theoretical Model of Restoration of Bardzrakash Monastery Complex of the X-XIII Centuries

A theoretical model for the restoration of Bardzrakash Monastery Complex, dating from the 10th to 13th centuries, reveals key architectural features and planning organization. The study proposes solutions for the eastern and western facades of the small church, substantiates tholobate and dome shapes, and determines the contours of Surp Astvatsatsin church's facades. It also presents a hypothesis on the completion of the monastery gavit's main part. The model is based on analysis of building ruins, measurement data, photofixation, and descriptions, with chronologically and territorially close monuments like Goshavank, Haghartsin, and Haghpat serving as analogues for reconstructing lost elements.
