Iconic Houses Lecture Tour – The Melnikov House<\/strong>
\nPresented by the West Coast Modern League<\/em><\/p>\n

WHEN: Thurs, Feb, 27, 2020<\/strong> \u2013 5 to 7pm – Reception from 5 to 6pm | Presentation from 6 to 7pm
\nWHERE: Inform Interiors<\/strong>, 50 Water Street, Vancouver, BC

On February 27th, join the West Coast Modern League and Iconic Houses Lecture Tour for an evening featuring Moscow\u2019s architectural avant-garde Melnikov House. Pavel Kuznetsov, Director of the Konstantin and Viktor Melnikov State Museum and Deputy Director of the Shusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow, will discuss the history of Moscow\u2019s Melnikov House, an icon of 20th century Russian architecture, and the tragic life of the architect Konstantin Melnikov in a collectivist society.<\/p>\n

The Melnikov House, designed by Konstantin Melnikov for himself and his family, is an icon of the Russian architectural avant-garde. The experimental cylindrical structure was built between 1927 and 1929 to test Melnikov\u2019s concepts for mass- produced housing. Melnikov believed that the essence of his house lay in the balance and equivalence of weight, light, air, and heat. The original layout, elegant spatial arrangement, and ingenious engineering techniques are combined in a unique architectural form that still looks modern. Retaining some historic elements of the 20th century, the house also reflects the tragic life of this solo architect in a collectivist society.<\/p>\n

Pavel Kuznetsov will discuss the history of the Melnikov House from inception in the early 20th century through establishing the museum in 2014 and today\u2019s conservation project. He will explore the newly discovered information that uncovered the architectural, engineering, and philosophical ideas lying behind Melnikov\u2019s ambitious plan to build an architectural manifesto in 1920s Soviet Russia.<\/p>\n
