Klaugu Muizh. Album. Ivanov A.

Today, the creation of luxurious residences has become an ordinary event. The replicated mass media, rich palaces, often abounding in a tasteless luxury, no longer surprise. Klaugu Muizh is an exceptional story.

The book addresses the reader to the process of creating, filling and the life of a new architectural object built on the project of the Totan Kutzurbaev workshop in Latvia. On a large landscape scene, a complex composition of several buildings deprived of a deliberate “glamor” unfolds. Nature, architecture and interior decoration exist in unity and harmony, interacting profitably with each other. The order of this connection was not chosen by chance, in an interview with Andrei Ivanov, Totan Kuzumbaev admitted: “I imagined a forest, an edge, an even place. And when the first time flew there by helicopter, everything turned out to be contrary to my expectations: green hills, hills, hills. ” It all started with natural data and directed architectural solutions at all stages of design.

Each element in the house is individual and copyrighted by the architect Totan Kuzumbaev. You will not find anything like it on the store shelf or in the interior of another building. Thanks to the photo project of Ilya Ivanov, on the pages of the book, the reader has the opportunity to look on the other side of the doors, evaluate the dizzying rhythm of wooden carving, plunge into the “big world” of the gallery with a collection of a unique “Latvian” porcelain, bask near the “fire in the focus of the yurt” and, finally, To try on the story of Claugu Muizh.

The project is the result of the search for new architectural forms, access to the level of experiments that not only reflect the features of a modern lifestyle, but also capable of influencing it. From the point of view of architecture, this experiment can be compared not only with the architectural studies of the avant -garde, but also with projects of paper architecture of 30 years ago, which belong to the era of postmodernism, ”says the theoretician of architecture, the doctor of art history, Alexander Rappaport on the pages of the publication.
