Armenian famous architect Rafael Sargis Israelyan confronted the challenge of modern architecture by blending the modern with traditional and incorporating the national spirit and culture.
The inheritance of the great master exceptionally decorates the Armenian mountains and ravines. The past and the future of Armenia are represented on the highest level in the art of Israelyan. He takes us through the path of harmony of modern and traditional culture. And on this path the Great Architect expressed the creative potential of the Armenian nation.
Architectural monuments dedicated to the heroic battles of Sardarapat, Bash Aparan, Nor Hajn and Musa Ler represent heroic spirit and history of Armenian nation and inspire heroes in coming generations.
Cellars of wine of “Ararat” trust, Wine factory of Oshakan “Kheres” and a lot of other buildings represent the persistent diligence and cheerfulness of the Armenian nation.
Several beautifully constructed water fountains scattered through Armenian lend represent the national wisdom and are best friends for the thirsty traveler.
The Arch of Charenc, the monument dedicated to the victims of Armenian Genocide of 1915 in the yard of Mother church of Ejmiatsin, reconstruction of the church St. Sargis are unparalleled achievements of Armenian spiritual culture.
