Abstract

This article examines the genesis and long-term transformation of facade architecture in Uzbekistan from antiquity to the seventeenth century, emphasizing its internal logic of development and its interaction with broader architectural traditions of Central Asia and the Islamic world. Based on archaeological evidence, historical written sources, and architectural-typological analysis, facades are interpreted as independent and primary carriers of symbolic, spatial, and ideological meaning rather than as secondary derivatives of plan or structure.
