Moscow in the mid-1930s - a city where architecture suddenly stopped dreaming and began to speak in a strict, almost commanding tone. The lecture at "Nekrasovka" will explain how and why this happened. This year marks the 90th anniversary of the General Plan for the reconstruction of the capital and the Moscow metro - a document that set a new scale of thinking about the city and its future. The lecture is dedicated to a turning point in architecture: when constructivism fell out of favor, and architects began to search for a language that matched the spirit of the era. The focus of the meeting is on post-constructivism with its heavy plasticity and the first steps of neoclassicism, which brought back columns, symmetry, and a sense of "great style" to the city. The lecture is structured as a walk through Moscow in the mid-1930s: with specific buildings, names, and decisions that still shape the city's appearance. It will be led by Fyodor Dyadichev, a Moscow scholar, writer, and employee of the Museum of Moscow. Admission is free, but registration is required.
