Abstract
The article considers the uniqueness of the architectural and artistic design of the facade decoration
of the main building of the sanatorium "Energetik", built in 1950 in the city of Yalta,
the Republic of Crimea, according to the project of Moscow architects K. K. Lopyalo and
S. G. Deminsky. Archival and author's photographic images of the main building, bas-relief
and plastic plot compositions, demonstrating the historical and cultural significance of the object, make it possible to conduct a multi-stage analysis to identify the compositional, artistic,
and stylistic characteristics of the object under consideration.
The study of decorative compositions reveals the orientation, historical and subject relationships,
artistic features of the plot compositions in the facade decor of the main building of
the sanatorium. The analysis also allows to determine the figurative and symbolic meaning
of the exterior decoration, the cultural and stylistic connection with the architectural trends of
the Soviet period, as well as the originality of the author's solution. The provisions identified
during the analysis give grounds to distinguish the "Energetik" sanatorium complex among
other Crimean health resorts, and put this object on a par with other outstanding recreational
projects of the Soviet heritage built in southern Russia in the period from 1930s to 1950s.
