Reconstruction of I.Turgenev <strong>Library</strong>, Moscow – Russia 1995 - 2003<br />

The project stipulates reconstruction of apartment houses of <strong>the</strong> end of XIX century for accommodation of <strong>the</strong> first public library<br />

reading room named after I.S. Turgenev. That building was demolished in <strong>the</strong> seventieth years. Tactful impregnation of modern<br />

architecture in <strong>the</strong> form of extensions and superstructures allowed to increase greatly <strong>the</strong> useful area, including again created cellar<br />

with a book-depository, keeping character and scale of a building. Existing planning structure of a building was added by two-light<br />

atrium, by tower and romantic hall in a penthouse. (Asadov)<br />
