An attempt has
been made to outline some aspects of Architekton Alexi Rilets’s contribution to the art of
architecture during the building-up of the Rilan Monastery (1816-1819) and its restoration after the fire in
1833. These have been presented below:
- The construction of the exterior façade as a
monumental fortress,
- The
construction of a unique cookhouse with large numbers of arches, vents and stabilising equalising girdles, which have converted it into a work of art of superb
functional and ventilatorycharacteristics,
- The
formation of the interior façade with spacious loggias and colonnades in the
small and great architectural orders, in two variants (with and without
intermediate arches), with kiosks of different forms and beauty and with
firewalls, and
- The
achievement of harmony between the Rilan
Monastery, with Hrelyo’s tower,
and the grand nature around them characterisedby uneven, asymmetric and hardly
accessible terrain.
An attempt has
also been made to investigate by following the family tree of Alexi Rilets and his father, Petur Filipov, and grandfather, Filip Burzyakov. This tree has three branches originating from the architekton’s son, Dimitur the Teacher. There are a number of gifted patriotic
Bulgarians among the descendants.
