Today marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of onefrom the greatest architects of Russia - Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov Today marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest architects of Russia - Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov. His projects were so original and fantastic for their time, which caused either a storm of ecstasy or rejection. However, he managed to build about a dozen buildings and build several more exhibition pavilions. 
It's amazing that all his projects were originalnot only in relation to the works of contemporaries, but did not repeat each other either. For each project Konstantin Melnikov created new solutions, and sketches of the same project also differed among themselves. And each of them did not develop the idea of the previous one, but showed a new vision of the project. 
The leadership of the Jewish Museum and Centertolerance, which is now located in one of the most famous buildings, built on the project Melnikova - the famous Bakhmetevsky garage, in honor of the 125th anniversary of the birth of the architect decided every first Monday of the month to enter the museum free of charge. 
Today, on the most significant date, at 19:30, the museum will host an open discussion titled "Classic of the Avant-garde". Among the participants are expected to be the chief architect of Moscow, Sergei Kuznetsov, the head of the Velonoch project, Sergei Nikitin, architect Olga Treyvas, and art critic Valentin Dyakonov. Registration is open on the official website of the museum jewish-museum.ru
