The architectural exposition "The Birth of Scale," dedicated to the development of urban planning in our country as well as major architectural projects from the past and present, continues at the National Centre RUSSIA. Many guests have already visited the exposition and shared their impressions.

"I've been to the National Centre for the second time. First, I visited the contemporary art exposition, and now I decided to visit the architectural exposition. It exceeded all my expectations. The exposition is stunning! So many valuable objects, maps, models, and artifacts! I hope the exposition will be open for a long time so that everyone interested in urban planning and architecture can appreciate it," shared Yelena.

A guest of the National Centre also noted the work of tour guide Maria Repina, thanking her for a clear and well-structured tour, rich in interesting details and information. Other visitors have also expressed their gratitude to the tour guides.

"The exposition is beautiful and lives up to its name, but it was our tour guide Ivan who truly gave it scale. We were lucky to be his listeners! This was the best tour I’ve had in the last few years. I sincerely thank the organizers, performers, and everyone involved," wrote Diana.

The exposition and tour guides were highly praised by participants in the "Moscow Longevity" project.

"We want to express our gratitude to Olga Mochalova, the tour guide for the architectural exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA. The guide structured the story wonderfully, showing the key stages of the development of architecture in Russia, from the Russian model to the most modern projects in Saint Petersburg," wrote one of the participants.

Many visitors noted that "The Birth of Scale" exposition can spark an interest in architecture even among those who were initially distant from this field.

"I never would have thought that building structures could be such an exciting process. I was especially inspired by the unrealized projects: the Palace of Soviets, Arctic stations. They show just how boldly and freely a person can create," shared Oleg Lisitsyn.

"The Birth of Scale" exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA showcases both realized architectural projects and ideas that remained as concepts. It features unique models of buildings, blueprints, and prototypes that have been preserved in museums and private collections. The exposition is open to all visitors free of charge.

Partners of "The Birth of Scale" exposition include DOM.RF, the Ministry of Construction of Russia, Gazprom, the A.V. Shchusev State Museum of Architecture, the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the Yakov Chernikhov Architectural Charity Fund, and the School of Design at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE).
