St. Petersburg

August 2019




“House on Chicken Legs” built in 1966 on Novosmolenskaya Embankment of St. Petersburg, Russia. (Next to "Primorskaya" metro station.)



“House 1” on Novosmolenskaya Embankment (1983-1986) spans 760 meters long and is one of the longest buildings in the city.



Surveying the city from a Ligovski Prospekt rooftop.




Construction — in with the new, renovating the old, paint jobs, scaffolding, and otherwise




Constructivist darling — Jakov Chernikov, Krazny Gvozdilschik (Red Carnation Factory), 1931, Vasilievsky Island

Lightly utopian (?) novostroyki (”newly-builds”) near the “Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad.”
