  • Kremlin Form
    Kremlin Form Architecture’s engagement with urban form always operates within the aesthetic structures associated with the technologies of draw- ing, such as paper material, bounding frame, and the means of repro- duction. In a course taught at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in the fall of 2012, students were asked to con- ceptualize the Moscow Kremlin through instruments of annotation. ANNA NEIMARK Though the site itself was out of reach, relying on drawings and photographs of Southern California Institute the monuments and the walls surrounding them, the seminar constructed a sur- of Architecture vey of analytical drawings that were based on compositional rather than political or religious principles. These analogical recordings were neither objective docu- ments of carefully measured forms, nor authored myths of imagined narratives. Instead, they aimed to dislocate the Kremlin from a closed political space in order to open it to architectural interpretation. The process of the seminar was drawn from a comparative study of maps that inevitably contrasted the real with the limits of representation. Consider for instance Giambattista Nolli’s presentation of Bufalini’s Rome (1748) where the substrate of the map is represented as paper, held by two putti unrolling it in mid-flight. Again, in his Nuova Pianta of the same year, what was one monumen- tal sheet is subdivided into twelve parts, each plate extending into a boundary that represents the space of overlap. In this seam, Nolli’s famous figure/ground is left as line work and unrendered. Or jump forward to the final rendition of the “City in the City” series by Oswald Mathias Ungers (1977).

Overnite Holiday Inn Sokoliniki or same. 22/4 Moscow City Tour (BLD) The tour starts in the heart of the city, at the Red Square. After observing St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin Mausoleum, the State Historical Museum and other sights of the area we move along the Moskva River embankment. On the way, we enjoy views of Kremlin, and continue to the Cathedral of the Christ the Savior, New Maidens Convent, Moscow State University. Visit to the Sparrow Hills observation spot opens outstanding view on Moscow. Then we travel to the Memorial Complex at Poklonnaya Hill and Victory Park, Triumphal Arch, Kutuzov Avenue, New Arbat, Boulevard ring, Pushkin square, Tverskaya street and end the tour at Manezhnaya Square. The Basil Cathedral is an architectural monument of the XVI century and also a unique memorial to military glory. It is an inimitable example of pillar, hip and stone architecture in old Russia. Its rebuilding in 1860 resulted in integral and compound colourful structure. CCK TRVL A potent symbol of two mighty imperial cultures - that of medieval Muscovy and that of the Soviet Union - the Kremlin is at once fascinating and foreboding, a mixture of lavish opulence and austere secrecy, and its eclectic mix of architecture reflects these paradoxes and seismic cultural shifts. Today, the Kremlin remains as alluring and enigmatic as ever. Two thirds of the citadel territtory are closed to visitors, but the remaining third contains enough treasures to occupy several days of sightseeing.

  • Information Technologies of the Project of New Museum Exposition
    Information technologies of the project of new museum exposition “Periods of the history of Kolomenskoye” Author: Olga A. Polyakova Olga A. Polyakova Information technologies of the project of new museum exposition My presentation will deal with Kolomenskoye museum-reserve in Moscow and projects involving use of new technologies that the museum experts intend to employ in their everyday work. Let me say a few words about the museum. It is located in Moscow and occupies a site of 390 hectares. The peculiarity of our museum consists in the fact that quite diverse monuments and objects of cultural heritage are concentrated in it. Lands of Kolomenskoye where the museum is located has been inhabited by people since the most ancient times. The very landscape of Kolomenskoye is the unique object of the cultural heritage. The museum- reserve is situated on a high beautiful place at the Moscow river bank. The oldest trees in Moscow, oaks that are more than 600 years old have survived to the present time in the place. Flood plains, rare herbs and flowers included in the Red book, ravines with exposed geological strata, streams and springs belong to natural monuments. The old park of planted oaks, larches, fir trees, elms and ash trees and gardens of apple and pear trees occupy the greater part of Kolomenskoye plot. The particular value of Kolomenskoye museum is imparted by the fact that the place served as the summer time residence of the Russian tsars for good six hundred years. Originally Kolomenskoye was situated outside Moscow city boundaries. It lies south off the city and Russian potentates did not select the place for their residence on the high beautiful river bank just by chance.
