Open Students Competition. Theme: “Iakov Chernikhov Museum-Gallery of Modern Architecture”
Competition task
The present-day situation in the world architecture cannot be called the epoch of dominating style. Hardly having time to be formed, holding its positions as the main stream for not over ten years, one trend is being replaced by another. Art Nouveau, functionalism, art deco, neoclassicism, minimalism, modernism, postmodern, deconstructivism, non-linear architecture… In connection with this the Foundation proposes the participants of the competition to submit their own version of the museum-gallery of modern architecture (from 2 ths. sq.m. to 10 ths. sq.m.). Proceeding from the fact that Iakov Chernikhov created his architectural fantasies without being in need for any definite sites, the participants of the competition can independently determine the site for conceptual designing of the museum: either with the orientation to the really existing place in the city, where this architectural school is located (both within the old boundaries of the city or reconstructed industrial enterprises and on the new active city sites or in the abstract space – on the land, in the water, in the air and even in the virtual space. In their designs the participants can use the images of Iakov Chernikhov that are represented in the cycles «Fundamentals of Modern Architecture» (1925-1930), «Construction of Architectural and Machine Forms» (1925-1931), «Architectural Fantasies» (1925-1933) . The obligatory element of the museum-gallery of modern architecture is the exhibition hall (300 m2 ) intended for Iakov Chernikhov’s graphical works and three-dimensional models performed on the basis of his compositions.
