Moscow Heritage at Crisis Point
second edition of the report |
| |
Buildings under threat include internationally famous landmarks: the Bolshoi Theater, Mayakovskaya Metro Station, Monuments of the avant-garde, plus buildings that are an inseparable part of Moscow’s identity like Children’s World Department Store and the Central House of Artists.This report was possible due to the late scholar of Russian architecture Catherine Cooke.The report is a follow up to the 2007 report, a bombshell that focused national and international attention on the crisis that Moscow’s heritage is undergoing. Despite the successes of the report, including the listing of 3 buildings, the destruction continues.The new report details the changes of the last two years—what new losses the city has suffered, which buildings are under continuing or new threat, why this is happening, and also outlines the path for a more sustainable future for the city.This new report from SAVE Europe’s Heritage and the Moscow Architectural Preservation Society (MAPS), with support from Docomomo International, condemns the losses while illustrating the astonishing range of historic building in Moscow, from medieval churches to elegant postwar modernism—all threatened by the furious pace of redevelopment of the city by a coterie of property developers during the tenure of Mayor Yury Luzhkov.

New release
Alvar Aalto Library in Vyborg
Saving a Modern Masterpiece |
| |
This book presents architect Alvar Aalto’s famous library in Vyborg, Russia, and the international efforts since 1994 to restore it. The building and the restoration are exemplars in architectural history and the history of heritage conservation respectively.
The first plans for the building date from 1927 and it was eventually constructed, after various modifications to the design, in 1934-1935. This extraordinary example of modernist design is a catalogue of innovative concepts that reflect Aalto’s most mature and influential work.
Every restoration task dealing with a building as remarkable as the library becomes unique. The original intentions of the architect, the present physical condition and the future intended use together affect the numerous decisions to be made during the restoration process.
The restoration of Viipuri Library has been divided into sub-projects carried out in order of urgency. This book presents in detail all the sub-projects that have been completed to date.
price 45 euros (inc. VAT)
authors The Finnish Committee for the Restoration of Viipuri Library
