Sergei Tchoban - Lines and Volumes : Encounters with the Architect, Artist, Collector and Museum Founder, Hardback Book

Sergei Tchoban - Lines and Volumes : Encounters with the Architect, Artist, Collector and Museum Founder Hardback

Edited by Kristin Feireiss

Hardback

Description

The career of architect Sergei Tchoban, born 1962 and educated in St.

Petersburg, follows multiple yet closely linked trajectories in his native Russia and in Germany.

He is a founding partner with the Moscow-based firm SPEECH as well as with Tchoban Voss Architekten, with offices in Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden.

His designs reflect a deep interest in local and historical contexts of a project rather than an aim to create singular iconic structures.

His design process is deeply rooted in sketching and drawing by hand.

In 2009 he established the Tchoban Foundation and in 2013 opened the Museum for Architectural Drawing in Berlin as a home to his vast collection comprising ancient and modern masterpieces from around the world. In four conversations with Kristin Feireiss, Tchoban offers very personal insights into his design process, his understanding of architecture, and his engagement as a collector and museum founder.

An essay by the British writer and broadcaster Deyan Sudjic as well as some 130 illustrations round out this beautiful volume.
