Proceeds from ticket sales and a paying bar will go towards the publication of a book by Clementine Cecil for FUEL Publishers on buildings of the Soviet avant-garde. Please make donations payable to Pushkin House. This series aims to give a general history of Russia’s architecture, focussing on Moscow. Moscow is home to imposing, innovative, beautiful, and fascinatingly bizarre buildings in a variety of styles. Due to a massive building boom, this dense and delicate fabric that defines the character of the city is under full-scale attack. This is why Pushkin House and MAPS have chosen to hold this series of talks – in the hope that increased awareness will lead to Moscow’s architectural legacy being treated with more care.
