Urban Space and the "Russian Revolt" Museum

The project is located on the site of abandoned regiment barracks between Zagorodny and Gorokhovaya—a territory historically tied to uprisings. The memory of the place became the foundation of the concept: to transform it into a living museum of Russian revolts, where the visitor does not just study history, but experiences it physically.

The route is structured as the dramaturgy of a rebellion. First, the space constricts under an overhanging perforated panel, building tension. The climax is a square featuring a metallic vortex (an image of chaos), graffiti on the walls, and cracked paving with metal-finished joints. The visitor then emerges facing the mirrored facade of a hotel, coming face-to-face with themselves. Here lies a choice: return to the zone of destruction, or pass through a tunnel toward a blooming garden—a symbol of new life.

The project restores historical memory to the territory and, through architecture and materials, allows one to experience the journey from chaos to awareness and renewal.
