Sergey Kiselev (in English)

The book about Sergey Borisovich Kiselev is a portrait of the architect and his time. The complete hopes of the era of changes that began when he took his first steps on his creative path, and which ended, as we are now clear, shortly after his untimely death. His generation came out of the discovery just by the beginning of perestroika and was forced to adapt to constantly changing conditions.

The most important feature of Kiselev was just in the ability to find answers to the emerging challenges before and more precisely. He was one of the first to use the computer in design, opened a design cooperative, organized a joint venture with a foreign company, and created a prosperous architectural practice. Evolution from several naive interiors to large -scale structures that meet the highest quality standards, in his case - not just the normal formation of a professional. He took up a lot of precedents in our country, then just parted with a planned economy. This is now the creation of a representative interior or office space is a trivial task, and in the late 1980s-early 1990s no one really knew how it should be arranged and how it might look.

This book consists of two parts. In the first, biographical, together the most significant interviews of Sergei Kiselev and the memories of his wife, colleagues, friends are collected. The second part presents those projects and buildings that the architect himself considered the key to his creative evolution and for the history of his workshop. The work of the workshop of Sergei Kiselev stands out in the architecture of the Moscow Border of the XX - XXI centuries and will not be lost in the general picture when our recent past will finally become perceived as a period in history.
