Latest Collection
Each generation across all times faced misunderstandings from their parents. It seemed interesting to consider the conflict of generations through the prism of architecture, which is directly related to the conflict between the old and the new, as it turned out.
The research for the collection includes the rich history of the Narkomfin,
a House-ship in Moscow, which was built in the 30s. The architect was inspired by French architecture. For a long time this house was in a terrible state, but thanks to a relative of the chief architect, it was restored according to the original drawings
and notes. In some parts of the house, the history of the house has been
preserved, which speaks of the new architect’s respect for the past.
Another part of the research involves another collision of old and new. Project
by a student from Marsh. In this project, the student had to create a new life for
the old building. The concept of her idea was based on the idea of an architect
from France, the creator of house-ships.
Also, in the 60s, a group of young architects from Russia wanted to change the Soviet monotonous buildings of Khrushchev. They were inspired by the same
French architect. Unfortunately, their great plans never came to fruition.
Through these comparisons, we can see that many people from different generations were inspired by the same idea. This means that regardless of age,
we need to remember that we can also have a lot to connect with our parents
and grandparents.
