A childhood toy in the urban landscape: architectural workshop at the National Centre RUSSIA

As part of the new workshop by the National Centre RUSSIA, children and their parents will be invited to imagine how one of the most beloved childhood toys – the rocking horse – could be reimagined as part of an urban space.

The event will take place on July 4 at 14:00. The workshop will be led by architect Yelena Ganushkina, a member of the Union of Moscow Architects, Associate Professor at the Department of Urban Planning of MIIGAiK and the Department of Residential Buildings of Moscow Architectural Institute, as well as third-year Architecture students of MIIGAiK Aleksandra Pudokhina, Yulia Kholova, and Yekaterina Yegunova.

During the practical session, participants will explore the use of colour, the idea of contrast between colour and form, and ways in which small architectural objects can be integrated into the city landscape.

The workshop "Toy for the City" is part of the educational programme of the exposition "The Birth of Scale."

Participation is free of charge upon prior registration on the website russia.ru. Up-to-date information about other events can be found in the "Events" section.
