A few days ago, told about the bookThis is our Moscow.", which I read on the occasion of planning a walk with my wife in Moscow." This trip took place and our route looked like this.

  • We walked through the park "Embankment", past the workshop of Peter Fomenko. The park was under reconstruction - it was dug up and now even there is not so easy to pass by
  • We went to the embankment of Taras Shevchenko and look Moscow City. We were particularly impressed by the green vegetation, which stretched a third of the Moscow River.
  • We passed the building. residential complex Badaevsky, which resembles a hut on chicken legs on steroids. However, while there built only these legs to a multimeter height, and the hut on top is still in progress.
  • Move aside. Narcomfin's houseIt was created almost a hundred years ago as an experimental project for employees of the Ministry of Finance of the RSFSR. Now it is an institutional and research project of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, which has a bookstore with books on architecture. By the time we got there, we were out and had lunch at the cafe.The staff of the Narkomfin", which is located in the premises of the former laundry house of Narkomfin
  • Then we got to the very house of the People's Commissariat of Finance, where at that moment either advertising or author's films were filmed on the street. The bottom line was that a skater with a phone in his hands was rolling between the cylindrical columns on which the house stands. When I went to the bookstore, I began to study architecture books, which make up a large part of its range. Interestingly, a significant part of the presented books is already in my library, but still we did not leave empty-handed - I chose a book by Alexei Ryabov.Culture. Design. Early twenty-first century".

P.S. I was interested in the history of the Narkomfin house and books. publisher The Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, so when I returned home, I studied the assortment of the publishing house and ordered a dozen more books, among them.Architecture of the House of Narkomfin yesterday and todaywhich I have already read and which will be dedicated to the next post.
