Alexey Shchusev. Architect who conquered timeKsenia Smirnova / Polina Pokladok / Anna Koksharova@AdMarginem @A+A
The first popular book about Alexei Shchusev is a man who designed and implemented dozens of iconic buildings (among them
Marfo-Mariinsky monastery, Kazan station and Lenin Mausoleum in Moscow, the Opera and Ballet Theater in Tashkent and the Russian Pavilion in Venice). Shchusev was a great architect - but in order to achieve what he himself called “good results”, it is not enough to simply be able to build a house. It is also about other knowledge, skills and abilities that allow us to call Alexei Viktorovich a wonderful restorer, urban planner, teacher, artist.
A lot of events fell on Schusev’s life that radically changed the tastes of people, the speed of life, the political system and the attitude to the past. But he was able to “conquer time”, remaining one of the leaders of domestic architecture, no matter what happened in life, art and the country.
The authors of the book, researchers of the State Museum of Architecture, which bears the name of Alexei Schusev, fascinatingly and with love speak of a great person, on the example of which children and their parents learn how talent, hard work and love of their work allow, despite the revolution, war and war, and The change of power, not only keep up with the times, but also remain in the memory of the descendants.
The book was prepared in cooperation with the State Research Museum of Architecture named after A.V. Schusev and the Communications Age Foundation with the support of the Presidential Fund of Cultural Initiatives.
