Russian Architecture : Buildings

Contemporary Architectural + Property Developments in Russia



Architecture in Russia

We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Russian Architecture. We aim to include Russian buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and building competitions across Russia. The focus is on contemporary Russian buildings but information on traditional buildings in Russia is also welcome.

We have 3 pages of Russian Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages.

Zaryadye Park Moscow
Zaryadye is a unique historic district in downtown Moscow, on the bank of Moskva river, adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage sites at Kremlin and the Red Square. After the demolition of Hotel Russia, the site has remained abandoned for over 6 years. Vladimir Putin proposes to turn this 130 000 sqm area into a multi-functional public park. This challenging project has the potential to become the most significant public space development in Moscow for the recent decades, likely to set a new benchmark for the quality of public space in Russia.
