The Moscow Committee for Architecture announced contest for the reconstruction of the complex of buildings of the theater “Grandfather Durov’s Corner”. The building with a small stage and a museum, which is a cultural heritage site, will be restored, its historical appearance will be preserved. This was reported by the chief architect of the capital, first deputy chairman of the Committee for Architecture and Urban Development Sergey Kuznetsov.
“Due to the fact that the main building is not only a cultural heritage site, but also an important landmark for Muscovites, it was decided to select the best architectural concept for the new theater facilities through an architectural competition. Currently, the theater does not meet modern requirements either technically or functionally. The competitors will have to develop a unique proposal, within the framework of which the existing complex of buildings will be modernized. We invite leading Moscow bureaus with experience in working with cultural heritage sites, reconstruction and restoration of varying complexity to participate,” Sergei Kuznetsov specified.
The reconstruction project will affect building 2, buildings 1 and 2, building 4, buildings 1 and 2, and building 4, block 2 on Durov Street. One of the theater buildings is an architectural monument of regional significance. This is an old mansion built by the Austrian architect August Weber in 1894, where the theater founder Vladimir Durov lived and worked from 1908.
