Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* Armed with a tourist map on constructivism, we go together with its author to look at objects that fall out of the classic sightseeing tours of the Sverdlovsk early Soviet avant-garde. The tour is designed for those who already know and understand something about constructivism and / or like to watch the non-parade side of the city. The tour takes you through the central quarters of the city, mainly through courtyards, arches and green squares. In agreement with the participants, the route can be changed in the middle and go to the neighboring Vtuzgorodok. Participants will get acquainted with the work of architects Konstantin Babykin, Nikolai Zhemanov, Sergei Kapachinsky, Veniamin Sokolov, etc. They will see how the approach to architecture and design of residential, public and administrative buildings gradually changed in the 1930s. They will learn the history of the Ural region and the transformation of Yekaterinburg from a county imperial town into a Soviet metropolis. They will immerse themselves in the everyday history of citizens and famous figures of culture and science who worked in the twentieth century in Sverdlovsk. And they will also remember characters from books and films that "lived" in the studied quarters.
