Julia Tarabarina. ​Preserving the History of Clean Ponds

How do you make a comfortable high-end residential complex that meets the modern requirements for expensive downtown housing, and keep as much of the original 1915 building as possible? Ilia Utkin, together with Sminex, solved this charade for Potapovsky Lane, 5 – here is how.

Julia Tarabarina, Lara Kopylova. ​Hearing the Tune of the Past

The Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist in the park near the Novodevichy Convent was conceived in 2012 in honor of the 200th anniversary of the victory over Napoleon. However, instead of declamatory grandeur and “fanfare”, the architect Ilia Utkin presented a concentrated and prayerful mood, combined with a respectful attitude of this tent-shaped church, which also includes some elements of architecture of orders. The basement floor hosts a museum of excavations found on the site of the church.

Julia Tarabarina. The Regeneration Experience

The housing project “Metsenat”, which occupies the area next to the Resurrection Church in Moscow’s Kadashi, has a long and complicated history, full of protests, victories, and hopes. Now the project is complete: the architects were able to keep the views, the scale, and a few historical buildings; we can examine the end result now. The project was developed by Ilia Utkin.

Julia Tarabarina. Center of Perm

Administration building of Perm city has developed into a complex of the urban center in Ilya Utkin’s project. It combines the three themes: administrative building, office towers and a new traffic interchange, into a single austere Art Deco ensemble.

Anatoly Belov. Gostiny Dvor by Lavra

Ilya Utkin chose urban regeneration for the reconstruction project of rough modernist building of “Mir” cinema built right opposite to Troitse-Sergieva Lavra in 1970. The building will be entirely transformed and become more like a Central Russian bazaar. Though the building will change, the aim is different. It would transform a part of Zagorsk town back into Sergiev Pasad. But the project will not be realized.
