On October 17, the State Institute of Art History on Kozitsky Lane, 5 in Moscow invites you to a discussion on the topic - "Houses of the XIX - early XX century in Russia. Urban Environment. Heritage. Problems. Prospects".
In the center of attention will be the historical revenue houses of St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cities, which by the turn of the XIX-XX centuries defined the image and spatial structure of industrial cities of Russia. However, nowadays their elegant facades often hide gloomy courtyards-wells, stairwells and communal rooms, into which once luxurious apartments have turned. What to do with this beautiful but painfully neglected architectural heritage?
