Illustrated Lecture
Architecture of Soviet Yerevan
By Dr Mark Grigorian
Wednesday, 8 September 2010 at 7:30 pm at Armenian House, 25 Cheniston Gardens, W8 6TG. (Tube: High Street Kensington). Admission: £3 (free for Friends of AI)
Beginning with Tamanian's vision of a "proper capital" for Armenia and a population of some 15,000 living mainly in clay houses, an ambitious plan was envisioned for a city of 150,000. By 1940, however, Yerevan was already around 300,000 The next generation of architects worked under Stalin's regime creating buildings that are the pride of modern Yerevan. The post-Stalin generation built uniform blocks of flats for the quickly growing population. Cascade, the Sports and Concert complex, and the Genocide monument were created in the '70s and '80s.
