Sergey Kiselev (in English)

Book about Sergey Borisovich Kiselev - portrait of an architect and his time. The full hopes of the era of the change, which began when he did the first steps on his creative path, and which ended, as we are now clear, shortly after his untimely death. His generation came out of the apprenticeship just at the beginning of the restructuring and was forced to adapt to constantly changing conditions. The most important feature of Kiseleva was just in the ability earlier and more accurately to find answers to emerging calls. He one of the first began to use the computer in the design, opened the project cooperative, organized a joint venture with a foreign company, created a prosperous architectural practice. Evolution from several naive interiors to large-scale structures that meet the highest quality standards in its case is not just a normal formation of a professional. He was taken for a lot of precedents in our country, then he had just broken with the planned economy, was not. It is now the creation of a representative interior or office space - a trivial task, and in the late 1980s - early 1990s no one really knew how it should be arranged and how it might look. This book consists of two parts. In the first, biographical, collected together the most significant interviews Sergei Kiselev and the memories of his wife, colleagues, friends. The second part presents those projects and buildings that the architect himself considered the key to his creative evolution and for the history of his workshop. The work of the workshop of Sergei Kiseleva stand out in the architecture of Moscow of the turn of the XX-XXI centuries and will not lose in the overall picture when our recent past will finally be perceived as a period in history.
