Abstract
The natural component in the formation of the historical settlements’ plan composition (on the example of the Moscow city) is studied in the article. A scientist Kudryavtsev believes that the main technique in the Russian medieval architects’ arsenal was the reception of the buildings’ location similarity, planning elements and compositional accents to the location of vegetation types on relief elements. This thesis was taken into account during conducting research on the subject to make a historical documentary compositional analysis of urban planning content - Petrov Drawing. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the drawing’s organic geometry of the Moscow 16th century plan, combined with the modern plan to confirm the truth of the town-documentary planning. In this research option, the combination of the compositional structural analysis’ method, which is typical for the art study, and the environmental approach, adopted to address issues of urban planning, are optimal.
