Peretyatkovich, Marian (Marianovich)
(b Volynskaya province, 4 Sept 1872; d Kiev, 28 May 1916). Russian architect, urban planner and teacher. He studied (1896–1901) at the Institute of Civil Engineers and from 1901 to 1906 at the Academy of Arts, both in St Petersburg, winning an award that enabled him to travel in Italy, France, Belgium, Austria and Holland. His early work, in collaboration with M. S. Lyalevich (1876–1944), is in a rationalist style: for example the competition designs for the residential complex of Pertsov (1905–6), St Petersburg, and Sytny Market (1906; four variants, with Lyalevich and F. Ye. Vyshinsky), St Petersburg. The latter is remarkable for its precise planning and expressive form. From 1908 he established his reputation by designing numerous large public buildings in a neo-classical style, for example the Salamandar Insurance Society block (1908–9; with N. N. Verevkin (1877–1920)), Gorokhovaya Street, St Petersburg, and the grandiose complex of buildings of the Northern Insurance Society (1910–11; with Ivan Rerberg, Roman Klein and Vyacheslav Oltarzhevsky) in Moscow. His church designs are in marked stylistic contrast to his secular works. The Roman Catholic church (1908–9; formerly the French Embassy Chapel), Kovensky Lane, St Petersburg, designed with Leonty Benois, is in a neo-Romanesque style, while the churches at Vybuty, near St Petersburg (1912-15), and Ostashev, near Moscow(1915), are based on the medieval architecture of Novgorod and Pskov.
