Key Points

A proposed design model addresses architectural features and classification criteria for presidential centers.
The study identifies distinctive architectural elements in presidential centers across the US and CIS countries.
Chronologies of presidential centers help to outline historical trends in their design and construction.
The analysis emphasizes multifunctional and monumental architecture principles applied to these facilities.

Abstract

The architectural features of presidential centers are examined with the aim of subsequently developing a design model for such facilities, addressing the following issues: memorial, multifunctional, and monumental architecture in buildings dedicated to heads of state; and actualization of architectural structures named after heads of state. Key classification criteria are suggested for presidential centers. The chronologies of the presidential centers in the United States and the CIS countries are reviewed; the design and construction features of the presidential centers are identified; a model demonstrating design options for all presidential centers in the US and the CIS countries is proposed.
