Work as the Chief Architect of Moscow

During Kuznetsov’s first year in office, over 20 competitions in urban planning projects were held, including several major international competitions that included the design of Zaryadye Park[7][8][9][10] and the National Centre for Contemporary Arts (NCCA). Working closely with Moscow Mayor Sobyanin and the Moscow Government, on the initiative of Sergey Kuznetsov competitions have become regular practice in Moscow as an effective method of urban planning.[11]

Quotes

[edit]
  • “It’s not the architects that create cities and architecture; it’s the citizens, irrespective of the government model.[13]”
  • “Moscow has a great potential. It is a rich and successful city. And it’s our job to channel this energy positively.[14]”
  • “Moscow must become a city in the full sense of the word. A city is a lifestyle. You live in a house that should be different from other houses: Your house should have a pleasant yard; your street should provide opportunities to go to a café, a restaurant, a corner store, or to socialize in any other way.[15]”
  • “It is impossible for us to become a warmer city, but we can become more attractive and hospitable.[16]”
  • “A chance to hold a competition and realize a project at a site as important for Moscow as Zaryadye is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am happy because of the firm attitude of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin international competitions are becoming a common practice for Moscow, and through them we choose really great projects that when realized could achieve the world-best level. This is the only way for Moscow to join the ranks of world architecture capitals. Quote about the city for the people, public spaces, etc.[17]”
