Life

Korobow was sent to Holland by Peter I in 1718 and studied architecture with Jan Pieter van Baurscheidt the Elder .

Admiralty, St. Petersburg

In 1727 Korobow became an architect in the St. Petersburg Admiralty Office . In 1728 he began planning the second stone admiralty building . It was then built in 1732–1738. He also dealt with the decoration of ships. The Pantaleon Church for the shipyard workers of the Neva - shipyard on the Fontanka over the summer garden (not received), he replaced from 1735 to 1739 by a stone construction. His Epiphany Church in Kronstadt was demolished in the 1930s. The triumphal gate on Tverskaya Ulitsa built for Elizabeth's coronation burned down in 1752. In 1737 he became an active member of the new commission for the construction of St. Petersburg.

After the execution of Pyotr Mikhailovich Jeropkins in 1740, with whom Korobov had worked, Korobov went to Moscow in 1741, where he assembled a team of architects. Among his students were in particular Sawwa Iwanowitsch Tschewakinski , Alexander Filippowitsch Kokorinow and Dmitri Wassiljewitsch Uchtomski . In the last years of Korobov's life, his eyesight deteriorated and he was often ill.

In today's St. Petersburg, the head of the Admiralty and the Pantaleon Church testify to Korobov's work.
