State Museum of Architecture named after A.V. Shchusev in Moscow presented the first large-scale exhibition in many decades by the Russian architect and visionary Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov (1890-1974) dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the birth. The monographic exhibition of one of the most famous Russian architects of the 20th century is a long-awaited and complete representation of the master's work. The exhibition in 10 halls of the front enfilade of the museum acquaints the audience with the life and work of Melnikov and his development as an architect.
Thus, one of the halls of the exhibition is dedicated to the period of apprenticeship, where the works of Konstantin Stepanovich are presented in the context of the works of his teachers - architects A.V. Shchusev and I.V. Zholtovsky. Among the exhibits are unique items related to the first triumphal journey of Konstantin Melnikov to Paris for the construction of the famous USSR Pavilion in 1925, which revealed the radical aesthetics of constructivism.
