Life

Worked as an architect in Leningrad

Noi Trozki was both a representative of constructivism , which was initially considered the official art style of the Russian Revolution , but later also designed objects in the style of Socialist Realism . An example of his work as a constructivist architect is the administration building of Kirovsky Rajon (a district of Leningrad), which was built between 1930–35. Only a little later, in 1936–41, the ensemble of Moscow Square in the south of Leningrad was built according to his plans in the style of Socialist Realism or Socialist Classicism . The huge house of the Soviets ( Russian Дом Советов ) takes up an area of ​​around 52,600 m². Its facade, with its classicist columns , is similar to the administrative buildings of many cities in the former Soviet Union , but its dimensions are unique. The model of the German embassy is also used by Peter Behrens , but without following his path of radical form reduction.
