The first time when I walked to my working space in Moscow, I passed by an attractive institute structure with a Pantheon-like façade and pillar architecture. It was an adorable image with the glazy ice around the area and a warm beam of light of the early morning. The building is the Moscow Power Engineering Institute found in 1930. The era of its establishment fell into the massive industrial development period under the Stalin’s time. The institute appears more special to me when I recognize that the former Prime Minister P. Li graduated in this engineering school. Imagination. A moment of his school life walking on the same road as I do, when he immersed in the sentiment of revolution and society change in the Soviet Union – students’ power and influence to a social reform, or rebellion? The virtue of innocence and idealism. How would one develop the thought and sense of value under such a piece of foreign environment? He was positioned in the middle of February and October, the two glorious months in the Russian history, at a junction to be commented by the history of future.Libellés : architecture, moscow, russia |
